[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe you should try to find activities they like and not activities you think a certain income bracket should do.[/quote]

Agree. Maybe the focus should be activities that are not video games, not just a certain set of activities. There are plenty of life-long activities they can start as teens. [/quote]

This. [u][b]Activities that could "come in handy," like what, closing the big deal on the golf course? Gross.[/b][/u]

I'd say they need some physical activity and that should have been instilled a long time ago, but that's not what you asked.[/quote]

I work for a tech company, think of Cisco Systems, Palo Alto network, Oracle, etc..., and we invite our clients to play golf every month at expensive places.  A lot of our clients are government folks and senior leadership in the financial industry.  Why do you think my company is doing this?  Is that "gross" to you?[/quote]

No, dummy. Insisting your kids learn the activities for a planned future like this, which is actually quite niche, is stupid and gross. [/quote]

Different poster and I think it’s really smart, that’s the same reason I’m taking my kids overseas and having them learn more than one foreign language. It’s not that niche[/quote]

How long are you staying? Which language interests you?[/quote]
