I have a son that skipped football last season, first time in 7 yrs. Didnt want to do any sports. Next year he wants to drive a car, told him he can either get a job or play a sport. He's now lifting with the football coach over the winter getting ready for next year! I dont think its much different than paying direclty, I will pay his car insurance and let him drive my 2nd car to school. Sometimes you got to point them in the right direction, they'd all sit on XBOX if they could, I probably would too!
Six is little young, I'd milk my dad every year from there on out.....
