We’ve always had our kids stay with every committment unless it is causing them harm. Like my oldest’s first year of refereeing soccer. He was being verbally abused by crazy parents who didn’t like calls he made (You wouldn’t BELIEVE the stories). But he stuck it out anyway, even with our permission to bail. Now he loves it and has become very discerning and wise about people, and also knows how to let things roll off his back with grace. I secretly hoped he would quit so I could stop being nauseous every time he went to a game, but now I’m glad he didn’t.

The first year our oldest played baseball, the team won every game. The next year, the team lost every game. Half-way through the season, Joshua wanted to quit. He told me it wasn’t fun to lose all the time. I agreed and told his he was right, it wasn’t fun to lose. However, he was on the team and he would remain on the team and finish the season.

He stayed on the team, and yes, it was a rough summer. The team did lose every single game they played for the entire season. Hopefully, Joshua learned a lesson. Time will tell.
