[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The sport was crew and involved getting up at 4 am before school for 5am practice and DC started refusing to go and I couldn’t physically drag them out of bed.  I have my own job and another sibling to get to school in the mornings. I don’t think DC fully understood the commitment involved. There were 3 instances when I was the one up at 4am driving other carpool teammates to practice when my own child refused to go. I can’t do that.

Yeah, you're probably right that your DC didn't understand the commitment.  But wow, that is QUITE the commitment and yes i get that you also had to get up early to help your DC get there, but maybe that is an UNREASONABLE expectation for anyone to have of 15 yr olds?  Maybe as parents we should test run getting up that early and driving to wherever practice is a few times in a week BEFORE making the financial and official commitment to the team?  Because that is a lot to ask. Too much to ask, for many.[/quote]
