[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 3 kids, oldest 10. I don’t know a single family as sports crazy as you describe. My experience is so far from what you’re saying that I really have to suspect you’re making things up. Regularly missing school for competitions? Don’t know anyone doing that. At all. [/quote]

Same, and I have a college athlete and saw the absolute craziest of sports parents. I saw nobody like OP describes, or rather I saw one family once like that, but they were also in the middle of a nasty divorce.

I think OP is a drama queen who needs validation. [/quote]

I'm a drama queen, huh? Interesting take. 
I was not looking for validation, but I was looking to hear that there is a way to participate in sports/activities without giving up every weekend and traveling, which fortunately I did!

We're older parents (39 and 40) so it's been a loooong time since we've thought about this topic. [/quote]

I think you know the answer to this question but you have other motives here [/quote]

OP is an insecure and sad drama Queen who can’t ask a basic question without over-the-top drama. [/quote]
