Swimming or rowing - parents become 4.05 am alarm clock and 4.10 am chauffeur
Cricket - say goodbye to all of Saturday and most of Sunday
Rugby - all those nasty emergency hospital visits
Netball - too much general whining
Gymkhana - unless you paid for the house in cash.

I have given up on having all weeknights and weekends free since my son does sports. American football in the fall, wrestling in the winter, and golf in the spring. But it's a lot of fun.
Table tennis?
Agree with netball. Not just the whining, but the never-ending stream of knee and ankle injuries that force retirement at the ripe old age of 27.
And I'd add volleyball to the acceptable list.
Lol (and stitches threatening to break). You are a dick, sis. Let's get the kids to do fencing together x
Little Athletics and trampolining in the backyard?
Hahaha!!! We just started our son in milo cricket. He loves it. I fear our weekends will never be the same soon!!! What about ten pin bowling?? I just took my kids today, surely that's a sport???
I'd disagree with the netball. All three of mine are now playing - they have mixed teams so even Charlie is in a team - and I have started playing again too! SO MUCH FUN on every level. Quick too - four quarters done and dusted in an less than an hour. Plenty of socialising on the sidelines with the other parents. Easy practice. Easy kit.
The whining - I haven't come across it? Much modest double fist punching when goals are scored, and general happy flushed pink cheeks. And a dreadful cheer at the end. But a sausage sizzle court side makes up for that...
Oh! And hockey and lacrosse in winter...for all the same reasons as above - mixed teams, quick, easy and sausage sizzle! xx
I agree...dancing it has been for the daughter...carefully chosen low key stuff...feeling quite selfish about what to steer the boy into as life is so busy and we need some down time in there too. xx
We just signed up yesterday for 'little nippers' Friday nights hanging on the beach sound pretty good to me.

Yay! You're letting me know you're there. In reality I'm HOPELESS at replying, but in my head I am very very good. Happy day to you! x
