such as Gymnastics, Ballet and Swimming?

This is going to sound totally selfish and i know I am BU but my problem is I am painfully shy and really hate any kind of social situation. This includes picking DD up from School and going to after school clubs. I really force myself to take her because I don;t want DD or DS ended up painfully shy and anti-social like me.

DD goes to ballet on a Monday after School, Gymnastics on a Tuesday and we are on the waiting list for Swimming lessons which start February which will be on a Thursday.

Would i be selfish to drop one (probably ballet as she isn't too keen) and just take her to 2 after schools activities a week? It stresses me out so much. I physically feel sick.

DH just thinks i am being selfish. DH is a very competitive person and wants DD to be the best at everything - whereas I am of the attitude, either they want to do it or they don't, and it they don't so what. DD says one weeks she hates Ballet then the next she wants to go, its so annoying.
