I started swimming two years ago, I enjoyed it for the first year (mostly because of the constant “rookie validation” I got), but hated it the second. My parents are trying to sign me up for another year, and I don’t know how to tell them I don’t want to. I’m working 16+ hours a week, playing guitar, writing, and reading, trying to fit in swim is just too much, and I’d have to cut out things that I enjoy way more than swimming. When I tell this to my swimmer and non swimmer friends, they pretty much all say “well just don’t do swim then”, but my mom is acting like it’s a requirement for living in her house.
I know I can’t quit in the middle if I do sign up for swim, because of the commitment and money, and I’m being pressured to say yes before the deadline (in ~a week). How do I tell them I don’t want to do swim anymore? Am I lazy for giving up on swim after only two season I know they’ll be super disappointed, but I’m afraid they’ll just pressure me into it again if I say the wrong thing.
