Your folks sound a lot like mine were. They let all of us give many things a go, even though many of them we gave up on. I had to play drums in a marching band,,did that for awhile, had to learn piano,,they got an old piano, I took lessons for a couple of years but hated that part so just carried on my own. Wanted to be a star gymnast, took that for a few years early on thank G..cause that's all that saved me in highschool gym from being the last kid picked or worse. LOL It's hard to live in Canada and not be able to skate very well and especially play football, baseball or worse yet hockey. I hated hated hated hockey..I got to escape that most times and stay inside working on rings and parallel bars to ensure our school had a chance of winning. We also did a lot more travelling than most folks in the neighborhood from way up in Quebec to all over the southern US camping, visiting historical sites etc. The day I turned 16 naturally I got my license then wanted to by a used car with some money I'd saved up.. Dad said No Way, no car, end of discussion. Told me I could go off to England and visit relatives instead.. so I agreed but figured I'd get him back by saying I was going to go all over Europe as well hitchhiking.. didn't work, they both thought it was a great idea so I did and toured all over Europe and even to Morocco on about $300 and came back with money. None of my friends parents would ever dream of letting their kid do that on their own at 16. Also had loads of critters like snakes, lizards, cat,dog, birds, furry things of all sizes and shapes.. funny I still do.
