[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope. We didn't pay for this so she'd become an Olympian. We pay for it because she loves it and we can afford it. If we couldn't afford it, we wouldn't have done it.[/quote] This. I don’t care if they play in college or quit tomorrow to try something new. We can afford it so why not as long as it’s enjoyable. I tell them they have to cut back when it gets too expensive or more likely, too time consuming for me. [/quote] +2. My kid is highly ranked nationally and he loves it. It teaches him to have goals, work hard, and be a good sport, learn to be gracious when he loses. We can afford it, college (private) is fully funded, and we have the time. Travel all over including internationally. We make vacations out of it: going to Asia this summer for 6 wks where he will be competing for two weeks and we’ll enjoy vacation the rest. At a hotel right now. It becomes a lifestyle. It’s fun. Otherwise, we won’t be doing it.[/quote]
