[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My story is very similar to OP but zero regrets.

I'd rather have my kids playing sports (which they still love) learning discipline, commitment, being active and around other kids that love the sport, than all day at home doing nothing.[/quote]

OP here,  I have seen a few of these kinds of posts.  Why is it one or the other?  If my DC isn't playing travel sports than were all at home watching TV orefeing food?  The same parent in me that saw travel soccer as a good option for my DC to play sports, remain active, make a few friends outside of school, and have some activities outside of school wouldn't be the same parent that then decides it's OK to just stay home.

My point is after almost a decade, it hasn't worked out in the way I thought it would.  The experience hasn't been great, but it hasn't been hell either.  I am looking back at my experience so far and also thinking about my other two children to best decide what route to take now.  I don't think currently that travel soccer has been a great experience, and it certainly isn't the only option when it comes to keeping your child active.

A change in perspective on my end may also help, like a PP said, perhaps I had too high expectations.[/quote]
