The End of an Era
A few weeks ago, my daughter told me she was done with hockey. She doesn't want to continue to play next season, because it's just not fun anymore. There is too much drama on the team, but she claims that is not influencing her decision. I won't deny that I was upset. Yes, it will be nice to have some weekends free, but we have been doing this for four years now. How can she just give it up? I told her she wasn't allowed to quit until she scores a goal. After playing defense for the past 3 years, she didn't have many scoring opportunities. She moved to forward this season and scored her first goal yesterday. She was so excited. I wonder if it's enough to make her want to continue playing? I know she is tired of the sport taking up so much of her time. I know she wants to be able to participate in other activites that she just doesn't have time for at the moment. I just want to make sure that she is choosing not to continue the sport for the right reasons.
