[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the mouth of my now 19 yr old DS:

"you should've pushed me more and not let me quite xyz.. I would've been really good at it by now."

Yes, I rolled my eyes at him.  But sounds like your DC might needs some therapy.

We let him skip yesterday. He went to school today like normal. DH asked DS yesterday if he wanted to quit tennis. He said he does not want to quit. His brother is on the high school tennis team and it seems like this DS also wants to play high school tennis.

Younger DS is naturally a better athlete and naturally smarter than his older brother. Our older child is a much better student as he is very well disciplined. I know a lot of people have suggested our kid is over scheduled and burnt out. My older child is absolutely over scheduled with a very heavy courseload, three varsity sports, outside athletic training in addition to all the other extracurricular activities he does in high school. My middle school kid has these 1 hour practices and matches. He is not over scheduled.

DH and I are going to let DS have the lazy summer that he wants. [/quote]
