My ds is 12 and not into team sports, although he plays raquet sports with his mates, swims and does a fair bit of extreme sports with us as a family. Some of my friends have insinuated that he should play rugby or football (he did play the latter for 2 years, but quit as he no longer enjoyed it), especially since his siblings are girls and I am a mum raising them all.......
DS's father is in the picture in a positive way though largely absent due to his career and ds gets on well with my dp. But this sport thing gets mentioned alot and it is starting to bug me.... DS is a great kid and gives us no trouble, but I want to be the best parent that I can, so what's everyone's take on that then?
