[quote=Anonymous]I would respond with, we have found the right balance for us.

Though your friend may not be judging as much as questioning her own choices.  I know that I am guilty of saying something that could come off as being judgmental but in reality I am wondering if the other person made a better choice than I have or would because their child seems great.

In this case, I am genuinely interested in whether, in retrospect, you think that  you made the correct decision to allow time to be spent on travel sports as opposed to other activities, including just studying.

From my perspective, and I know I am looking at this from a straight economics time value perspective,  if your child does not appear the aptitude to play a sport or musical instrument professionally, would that time be better spent studying?  I am interested because, not having played organized sports, I don't have experience in how they could be of  such benefit that a significant amount of time should be devoted to them.  My priorities could be wrong.  I don't know.

What I do know is that I want my child to have a happier more rounded childhood than I had, but I don't want to go overboard.  I just don't know where the line for going overboard is. [/quote]
