[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom only let us pick one activity. We couldn’t both pick something like a winter sport so I played winter basketball and my brother played spring lacrosse. [/quote]

Yeah, it's this. Children can't pick any sport they want. They have to do the same sport with the same league, or have an off season so the other child/ren can do their sport. OP has serious lack of boundaries and is not putting the relative unimportance of kid sports in proper perspective. These activities do not matter for college admissions as much as she thinks they do. Grades and academic rigor are still going to be the main factor.[/quote]

You really know how to put the fun in sports.[/quote]

If centering your life around your childrens' whims and running yourself ragged to fulfill all their desires is your idea of fun, I wish you well. As for me, I'm signing them all up for cheap weekend rec soccer and calling it a day.[/quote]

Do you even have kids? [/quote]

If someone claims not to sacrife all their time and energy on kiddie sports they must be childless? Many kids drop their sport in middle school and focus on more intellectual activities in high school or stick to school based sports. Which is great because nobody needs to drive all over the place for school based activities.

Having all your kids in different intense sports run by private businesses scattered all over the place is a parental choice. Choose better.[/quote]

That person is going to sign them up for rec soccer. Future tense. That is not someone with school aged kids or older. It’s a preschool mom or childless auntie who thinks she’s going to be the bestest mom ever when in reality she has no clue. It all goes out the window when one of your kids hates soccer and wants to do something else. Then what? And this isn’t just about sports. But that person will force their hypothetical kids to do soccer whether they want to or not. Great parenting.[/quote]

This. It’s cute when future parents or toddler parents talk down to us. Please tell us more about what you will never do.[/quote]

And the joke is on that parent because unless she has triplets the practices will be on different days at different times with game times spread across the weekend. But, do tell us more how you won’t be you won’t be catering to your kids whims as if you even know how rec soccer works.[/quote]
