My dd and I sat out on a family vacation to Breckenridge her L8 year because she was training her flipping vault and having trouble. She didn't want to leave her training, and didn't want to get injured skiing in the mountains. We appeased her. Guess what, when her sister and dad got home, still no flipping vault.
She's currently putting up resistence of a great opportunity we have as a family in March of next year because it's during meet season.
This lack of family time is really causing me to resent this sport. My resentment is not doing anyone any good. Recently, I'll look towards the future, to when I'm an empty nester, and I'll ask my older self, "...do you regret our gymmie didn't spend more time in the gym, or do you regret not spending more time together as a family". Guess what my answer is every single time. These years with the children, as children, are fleeting.
I say, go on vacation, and I'll start planning ours...
