[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do love it. My son is now 17 and I will miss it when he graduates. The fact is he lives and breathes soccer. It’s how he wants to spend his time.

Lots of kids choose to focus intensely on an activity. For me, soccer is more enjoyable than other activities he could have chosen. My nieces did theater and I didn’t love sitting through those productions. My SIL had to often sit through the same production 4-6 times. And schlep to and from daily rehearsals for months. I know other kids who focus on robotics or debate or whatever else. [/quote]

Soccer IS the most boring sport to watch.   A whole game of kicking the ball and you get scores like 2-0.   Did your SIL watch your son play?  Did she not love sitting through the game?

Your hours in the car are when you have the best conversations with your son but what your SIL does is “schlep” her daughters to rehearsals.

You wrote that your SIL had to sit through the same production 4-6 times.  She probably loved it, loved watching her daughters perform as much as you love to watch your son’s soccer games, even 3or 4 in one weekend.

I hope you don’t have that attitude with your SIL.  It’s condescending.  [/quote]
