[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 548365, member: 11791"] LaCrosse... is a very Canadian sport! My brothers played it all summer, to keep in shape for hockey in the winter. It is NOT expensive to play - you need a rink without ice, running shoes, a lacrosse stick, and some nets. Some divisions require knee and elbow pads and helmets. Rules are similar to non-contact hockey. So... while LaCrosse may be "exotic", I wouldn't consider it "over the top". Disney Dad... doesn't do any of the "bad" stuff. It's ALL about having fun. SO... whether they spend bundles of money on the kids, or just spend bundles of time doing exactly what the kids want to do... there's no "rules enforcement", no "teaching", none of the heavy lifting. And yes, you can be married to a Disney Dad. FWIW? 1) In our part of the world, if you have ANY pool, you're filthy rich. But having a pool doesn't mean the parents are Disney Parents... I know kids who's parents came up with the money for an INDOOR pool (here, a HUGE extravagance)... because 3 of their 4 kids were in competitive swimming, and it cut down the time and effort around practicing... 2) In our part of the world, back-yard rinks are NOT uncommon. Of course... we live in the land of hockey, so what else do you expect? You just need a big enough back yard... or a willing neighbor with no fence between. [/QUOTE]
