Is this zulum

I put my boys in athletics and my wife thinks I am doing Zulum, she would go hai bechara on the older boy when he came back all pooped. Now I am starting the 13b yr old. Do you think this is too much, getting up at 5 am and all. I would love to sleep in once in a while. First of all, I do so much and then made to feel guilty.

We don't really pay attention to how we condition our kids when my Mrs goes hai bechara it has such negative effect, team hires a psychologist to give them a winning mindset and at home, we condition them to feel sorry for themselves. I have seen her sister destroy her daughters life by doing Hai bechaari Annie, itni kamzoor hai..n..you can't expect her to do tasks,

I think you should put them in team sports. Aside from the swimming, the rest is workout. Not sure if very young kids can do weights. They also need to have time for academics. If I were you, I would pick a team sport and work on that aside from the swimming and cut down on the work outs. Rowing is good, but not sure if that is a high school sport where you live. College of course it is.

He just finished his basketball season, they are in the rowing team. They develop strength and endurance in winter and practice and compete in spring and summer. He comes back so tired and my wife makes me feel so guilty. Waking him up at 5 am seems a bit harsh but the results are worth it. It is hard on me also.

it's not zulum.. you are just keeping them busy and active, which is never a bad thing !!
