[quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone. There is really some helpful stuff here. I am really thinking about the over scheduled aspect. Two issues there:
1. I am worried it won't fix anything. Other than watching TV or going to movies, I don't think he is going to do anything with them.  So if he is going to be on his phone all day, maybe they are better served by being in activities. 
2. It's not just sports. I used that as an example but he also complains about the other kids we have over, barbecues or dinners that include kids (he would rather get a siter) and chauffeuring to bday parties. (We don't have to go anymore, but he's tired of chauffeuring) 
He hates school shows and performances and chaperoned one field trip 6 years ago and still talks about how awful it was.  The oldest did a year of scouts and DH complained so much about the events that I cheated and bought a pre-made derby car on the Internet and let him paint it.

He will run with the 10 year old. That is a recent positive development. I think the 10 year old kind of hates it, but does it to be with his dad. I figure running is good for you so no harm in that. [/quote]
