[QUOTE="Christy, post: 296989, member: 225"] I'm in the same boat as Crazyin VA. Making my child do something he refuses to do is close to impossible and sometimes dangerous and while I totally agree with the "you've committed to something now stick it out" mentality, he really wouldn't know if he liked football (on a team) until he tried it. However, he might start to like it if he can stick it out a little longer. Maybe you can make a deal like, if you go to practice and make it through the first two games and STILL don't like it, you may quit. If he insists on quitting now, take his allowance, birthday money, etc.. to pay for the equipment. If he is going to be missing practice, I would make him talk to the coach and explain why. Don't make it too easy on him. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
