[quote=Anonymous]Each of my kids did a casual local rec league sport this year. We hated that it took up weekend time. They did too. There are friends birthday parties, out of town family to visit, other spontaneous events that we couldn't plan around. We have always had friends who reply "maybe" to birthday parties because they don't know how long that tournament will go or if they'll have a game that day. That's hard especially the last couple of years when we kept parties to just a handful of kids and had to plan more intentionally. My older one is a tween and still gets together with friends, but now it's riding their bikes to the 7-11 or whatever and gaining independence. He mostly hangs out with other kids who aren't on teams because the sports kids can't commit to a time. And we do still "force" some strawberry picking and hikes as a family because family time is important to us. [/quote]
