I know the other mothers are looking down their nose at me, but the one and only time I did give into the pressure, my 4 year-old sat on the grass picking dandelions while all the other 4 year-olds chased a soccer ball and got seriously screamed at to go faster and play better by their parents. Meanwhile, I was chasing my other hellion around the field because my husband wasn't around to share in the organized sports fun. Not worth the hassle at all! Now he's 7 and wants to do martial arts, so I'm looking into that for him.
