Here is my dilemma! I am a mom of 3, my oldest son is almost 13 and by nature, pretty athletic. He is about 5'9" and 165 pounds and has not yet hit puberty. He is going to be a big guy like my husband. He plays all sports and is in 7th grade this year, he played football last fall for the school team and although he likes playing it, he really likes soccer too! He has played both since he was small. I know he would much rather be playing soccer for the school, because he is very close with the coach who is also his math teacher and really treats all the kids great, also he has lots of fun because all his good friends are on the soccer team! I know he really would prefer the soccer, but does football to please my husband. My husband is constantly putting down soccer and feels my son has a career or future in football! My son is very smart as well, so I think he will get into a good college anyways. My husband makes him feel soccer is wimpy and not a real sport! How can I talk to him?
