[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We let our daughter experience high-end things in a way that does not establish expectations for years of high-expense activity. Horse camp at rock creek in the summer rather than year-around riding lessons. Ballet, choir and Scouts BSA instead of family schedule-deforming travel teams. I feel badly for the OP. Don't feel you have to go bankrupt over her activity. Kids are smart and will already know you are over-spending.[/quote] Serious ballet can be just as expensive and life-consuming. And honestly, you can't really "experience" sports or activities at the high end unless you're good enough to be there. [/quote] Exactly. People act like it is a choice; like spending lots of money on expensive coaching will automatically get a kid to the top, elite end: If your kid doesn’t have the talent, no amount of money is going to make them great.[/quote]
