[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Our kids play travel sports because DH and I both played travel sports then a college sport, so for us it is just a lifestyle that we love and are comfortable with spending our time and money to support. [/b]  Ironically, our youngest son chose about the only 2 sports that neither of us played growing up (ice hockey and lacrosse), so we're having fun learning along the way, but the level of athleticism and parental commitment required is the same across most sports (though hockey is really expensive).  Older kids played travel sports then D1 and D3 athletics (no scholarship for either).  Wouldn't change it for the world.  We just love sports.  [/quote]

Translation:  we like it, so we forced it on our kids.

Yes, this. Because kids can't have a childhood or be functional adults without all of these extras.[/quote]

Exactly.  I love how the poster says her youngest chose a sport "neither of us played growing up."  What she really means is:  we made clear to the kids that they had to pick at least one sport to participate in and didn't give them a choice in the matter because that's how important we think playing a sport is.  Because we all know that that is exactly what happened.[/quote]
