Ooooooooh, I keep getting it Wrong!!!!!

Parents night was a huge success. The children came with me when I met their teachers and it was great to see the rapport that they have with each other. I came away thinking it was a terrific school. All teachers acknowledge that they don't know how to teach dyslexic children (Johanna has 4 in her class), but all are keen to understand and to keep the children talking to them about it. The low-slung washboard buildings set in leafy quadrants with cosy bench seating around the place has avery good ambiance. I met a few of Megs friends I hear her talk about, and realise that although they are missing friends and family at home, they do have a pretty good place to sit it out in.
But I am a confusing and indecisive Mum where Finn is concerned. I have been pushing hard for him to take up a team sport and get more involved. He tried rowing and gave up on the first night. I simply could not persuade him to continue. He should have been there tonight and I just got a late e-mail in showing his quad for training with. A great wee group, that has now become a 3 as he's quit!!! I said he should sign up for Rugby and then my neighbour said that it gets in the way of the ski season and he will miss out on all his ski days. He said he didn't want this, so we missed registration tonight. Then my boss e-mailed and said her son reckons it's a short season at Finn's level and that the hockey that we were now pondering was no different with interfering with the ski season, and isn't rugby the more kiwi experience? Could I persuade Finn to go rowing on Saturday, even though he insists he's not a boat kind of guy?, because maybe he will have a better session than on Monday and will now love it? Should I try and get him registered for rugby, even though I've missed the date? Should I refuse to take him to Queenstown on Saturday, to buy the game he desperately wants, until AFTER the rowing? Is this bad parenting or necessary parenting? Why do all these other children just turn up and do it and mine resist with all their might?
