[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 296977, member: 1157"] I'm past the activities stage, but I have a question for those parents who make their child finish the sport/activity/season, whatever. Just how do you "make" them do this? I'm asking because I was never able to *make* my kids do anything that they truly didn't want to do. Consequences didn't matter, nada. I couldn't physically make them get into the car, let alone out of the car, if they didn't want to go (and believe me, it came to that with my girls over some things). It was a battle I simply gave up on... it didn't seem worth it to me, money wasted or not. Eventually, I stopped letting them sign up for anything, period (which of course now they blame me for.. lol). Perhaps it was my own weakness.. especially as a single parent, with no backup. So, I'm honestly curious.. how does making them finish thing, work?! [/QUOTE]
