[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope ,we love having sports on the weekend. [/quote]

Same!! It’s great for them both  physically and mentally. Learning teamwork is a lifelong skill.

What would you do with your child if there were no sports on your weekend?[/quote]

Do you really think kids can't entertain themselves without activities on the weekend? What did you do growing up?[/quote]

Our kids are not really into sports. They do swimming and have a couple of extracurriculars on the weekend. Even so, I always prioritize things like friends' birthdays and I wish their friends were more available to just hang out. IMO it sucks that the American model is to have them so overscheduled. It shouldn't be between "weekend sports" and "staring at the walls."[/quote]

+1 but unfortunately *everyone* is so over scheduled that it amounts to just that. If you have a kid who enjoys family time then great. Otherwise you’re SOL because all their friends’ parents have capitulated to UMC anxiety and are running the rat race.[/quote]
