[quote=Anonymous]I completely disagree and have boys. You make your children sound like they have some sort of disability instead of being the varsity sports player they are. The main issue I have with this comment that keeps popping up though is that it doesn't match OP's description at all, so why repeat it ad nauseam? Do you ever ask yourself why your boys are so unable to handle an event that is so joyous for many others? I'm sure they would prefer to play soccer but being bored to me signifies a problem with them. It's perplexing especially since you have such a talented athlete with such dedication to their sport and to their team. A wedding with it's family centered focus is somewhat similar to a celebration of a win by a team. You might want to read an article like this one. Children's reactions often have a lot to do with parents expectations and culture. http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/07/02/spoiled-rotten[/quote]
