The reason she wants to stop playing volleyball

Well I found out the reason. Today I got a email from the league the kids play in. It's seems many parents have been complaining about the schedule and the amount of times it takes for games. So starting in May the older kids work outs will be on a different night and their games will now be on Sundays. So after reading the email I asked her if this was why and she said it would to hard for us to have to deal with it. I told her that it didn't matter and we would make it work. She told me she didn't want to play in Sundays because it our lazy day and she knows how much we need a day to chill. She said she'd still want to cheer her brothers on and go to their games.

I'm just defeated right now. I know most families don't have kids that in 3 different groups like us so the changes aren't that big of a deal. I'm not going to lie Saturdays were a long day for us. I just kills me that she feels she needs to stop playing because of this change. I know it's her choice and her needs but damn it sucks.

I think that should really be her choice and I think it's important for her to not feel forced to do something she doesn't want to do because other members of the family might want her to or just because they think it's best for her. I think that would be detrimental.

@LadyGrace I would never do that. I'm ok with her not wanting to play anymore but I want it to be because of her needs not because she is trying to make my life easier
