[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 638395, member: 1550"] HLM, not all kids are interested in sports, although I have read the data and agree. Jumper's sports enthusiasm have kept her out of trouble to the max. But Julie had no interest in sports (still doesn't) and wasn't going to do it. If somebody had suggested that I would have wanted to pull out my hair. Like I hadn't already tried to involve her in every possible activity out there. Do they think I didn't? She just wasn't a joiner and would not get into group activities, no matter what they were. Period. The best advice is actually to seek professional advice, in my opinion, because we don't have the expertise to know what to do considering the family's dynamics. I still think it's best just to listen kindly, pat a hand, and not give advice. I did not appreciate advice I got for 36. It was usually so not like 36 and was not helpful. Maybe others feel differently. I have learned to keep my mouth shut except w hen it is specifically, say, on a forum for lost moms. That way you don't get involved in other people's drama. "Not my circus, not my monkey." I like that. Doesn't mean we don't care, just that we really can't help because we don't have an answer. [/QUOTE]
