So we felt it coming, but our daughter officially wants to quit gymnastics. Mixed feelings. Glad because finally our life won't be consumed. Sad because she's been doing it for a decade and because if she has decided 2 months ago we wouldn't have paid for her new uniforms, etc. for next year and saved a thousand bucks.
I'd say she wants to quit 60% because all her friends have stopped, 30% because it sucks all of her non-school time, and 10% because it's finally gotten to the really difficult parts if she wants to be good.
Now she wants to switch to swim year round, mainly because that's what her best friends do... but not at the team 5 minutes from our house but the one 1/2 hour away. She's actually one of the better non-year round swimmers in the city based on her times this summer and high school swim, so she could be pretty decent. Just wish she'd be open to the closer team.
