[quote=Anonymous]Our middle child was the one who participated in travel sports until he graduated from high school.  He is now playing his sport in college and we do go to his games.  But his season only lasts about 10 weeks - not the 9 months when he was in the thick of it.  We had a couple of years to transition off the travel sports until our youngest went off to college.  It was great - we could sleep in on the weekends; I was not driving him to and from practice most nights of the week; we were able to do non-sports activities on the weekends like going to see a movie, going to festivals, returning to church.  We still had our youngest at home so we still had his school activities.  Our youngest started college this fall and we are struggling a little with the transition to being empty nesters.   The positives - we never have to consult a calendar and we are able to schedule anything we want to do like going out to dinner in the middle of the week; seeing a movie; meeting friends, etc.  In some ways our life has gone back to what it was like when we were newlyweds.  But we are 27 years older and I just don't have the energy I used to have.  So most weeknights we are just watching mindless TV waiting to go to sleep.  We need a hobby.[/quote]
