Father refuses to force his 11-year-old son to play a sport against his wife's wishes, stops funding son's lessons to do what's best for his kid: ‘He was sad’

• An 11-year-old is old enough to know what they want and don't want to do. That's why when the father who wrote this story talks to his kid about how upset he seems whenever he's finished playing squash, he listens. Children need to grow up in an environment where they feel seen and heard, and this father is trying his best to make sure that happens. He makes it very clear to his wife that he will not fund an activity that burdens his young son after failing to come to a compromise with her.
