what made you decide to do what you do?

In the interest of changing the subject back to something that is actually relevant to a SAH/WOH debate (LOL!), I will pose a question to anyone who wants to answer:
Who or what would you say was the greatest influence on your decision to SAH or WOH, whichever one you do (or want to do, if you aren't doing what you want)? Did any particular person, circumstance, situation, or anything else lead you to decide this question one way or the other?
What if two different influences conflicted? How did you make the decision then?

But I will repeat. Unless the kid is achieving something, they aren't going to stick with the activity for long.
Swimming lessons come with badge levels to complete. So does skating. So does gymnastics. Gym as a one hour a week rec activity doesn't last too long. Its cute for the little kids, but it ammounts to not much more than supervised play time. Most drop out by 7/8 yrs if they haven't joined some sort of competitive program. Piano comes with music to learn, books to complete, recitals to perform. So does dance. So does girl guides.
You should try playing. Or you are trying to manage something without understanding what you're managing.

Yes they do. They tell them that that sort of activity is not a great goal for a child one wishes to be healthy. Down time has a place. As the goal...well, I guess we know why there are so many doughy unhealthy kids.

Oh, they do if they have the encouragement and support from their families. Closed minds decide that a kid will only like what a kid will like - all nature, no nurture. Because thats what closed minds have been led to believe.
My points don't get lost.
And I don't do the muddling. Thats you. And nice try, but as usual, not working.
