[quote=Anonymous]I think it's totally fair to reserve one day a week for relaxed family time, especially if the kid isn't even asking to play soccer! Not all kids have to play soccer, why would they? There are plenty of other group and sport activities out there, nobody has time to do them all, and the family schedule is a relevant factor in deciding between options. I know I want to avoid Saturday commitments as long as possible (my kid is too young for sports) because with m-f work and Sunday church, Saturday mornings are really important family time. I don't think that's selfish and awful - my parents let me have lots of free time instead of daily structured activities, and yeah I didn't learn tons of "sports lessons," but I had friends, spent tons of time outside, tried out track and swim team when i was older, read lots of books, and got into a great college. Soccer is great but not necessary for a good childhood.[/quote]
