“It’s crazy that you don’t look at the memories from family vacations and camping trips as opportunities,” another wrote. “Parents who live vicariously through their athletic child are not okay. Your kid isn't going to make it to the NBA, but they will always remember time with family. There is a healthy/happy medium,” one user pointed out.“For some reason, there's an assumption that families that have kids that play sports all year round have zero family time that we're just a unit that just plays sports and we don't spend any time together and that's simply not true,” he reiterated.
