[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: Thanks for your honest replies. I DO NOT feel bad about her not being in sports, if anything I feel FREE! But I see these parents of tight-knit friend groups and I worry DD is missing out somehow. But she’s a content girl with many friends, so I don’t know why I worry. It’s always hard when people say, “Oh, she’s not in a sport???” with a look of shock on their faces. I never know how to respond. [/quote]

I think the sporty types, more than other activities, just can't conceive of how someone might be into different things. I don't see music or theater parents doing that but it seems so common for those into sports to think they are just superior activities. They aren't.

I totally disagree with this cliche.  A lot of athletes also do things like music and community service.  I’ve run in to some very haughty music parents who look down on sports but I would never make a judgment overall about “music types” based off those specific parents.[/quote]
