[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again - appreciate all the answers. I'm Gen X and was not an athlete so some of this is a little hard to relate to. But for those of you who do spend all day every weekend at games - is this how you grew up, too? Your weekends were consumed with sports and your parents were there to watch all of it?

OP, yes.  I’m GenX too (female) and I was hugely into competitive soccer growing up, as were my siblings.  I have fantastic memories of traveling to Canada, up and down the east coast for travel and state team and winning a HS state championship.  I did have tournaments every holiday weekend and games every Sunday.

My dad was a coach and he and my mom were at all of our games.  We have crazy stories about the characters/parents/coaches, etc of that time.  We still did many other things as a family.  I remember going to museums, folk festivals and other cultural things as well with my family.

I love sports and I actually love to watch my kids play.  I don’t like crazy parents and I will complain about early games far away, etc, but it’s beem a great experience for my kids.  However, if they walked away from it tomorrow, I’d be totally fine.  Though physical fitness/exercise is big on our household so they aren’t going to sit in front of electronics/tv.[/quote]
