So dd has been going to a club for several years now and we've been lift sharing with a friend. The lift share has really helped us out and has been great.
Now the friend is going to stop going but I'm pretty sure dd won't want to stop.
Getting dd there and back is wearing, time consuming and costly, it's not however impossible for us to do until such time as our circumstances change.
I don't think there's another lift share available, although I've asked the leader if she knows of anyone. There's no public transport nearby.
I've suggested dd cuts down the amount of time she goes but her reply was that she may as well not go at all if she can't train at the higher level.
So WWYD? Continue as we are or make her stop / cut down? She really enjoys the activity and she's one of a few girls still doing it at her age. She's good but not brilliant and it's not about the social side of it because most of her friends have now left. I'm pleased that she wants to continue but sad and frustrated that just getting her there is a hassle. We have other DC who don't do much extra-curricular, but we would always support them if they wanted to do anything.
So have you made your DCs give something up against their will? Or were you made to give up something when you were young? How did you feel about this?
