[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Three nights a week devoted to sports sounds really over the top to me. One night is plenty.[b]They don't go to school yet and my partner and I are going to homeschool. We are both on the same page on the fact that we won't let sports become a major deal in our family.[/b][/quote]

No you can't really know if a) you will actually really homeschool. so many factors influence that and you need to wait until your kids are actually school age - grade 1 and above. I have no issues with homeschooling but honestly people like you are so silly talking about homeschooling when your kids are even school age and b) you can't control whether or not your kid enjoys a sport and wants to play it nor can you say how you will feel about it when you are watching your kid play that sport.

Never, ever make such definite statements about what you will do one day. They will come back to bite you.[/quote]

Rigidity in parental thinking is a recipe for disaster. Whether it's about homeschooling, sports, or screen time.

Raise the child you have, not the child you want. The end.[/quote]

lol- I was trying to be much more diplomatic with my response to that PP.  We don't even know what kind of "screen time" will exist in 10 years, let alone what rules should be in place.  [/quote]
