British parents are willing to pay thousands of pounds a year for the activities of their offspring, mainly encouraging their involvement in sports hobbies. The main reason British parents care so much about keeping their children busy is that they have too much time for computer games, TV and mobile phones thanks to activities.
Comparing the cost of hobbies for girls and boys, it turns out that things for girls are more expensive.
Especially in big cities, there are many types of activities that children can participate in, some are cheap, some are very expensive, and most parents feel they have to rob the bank to pay for it. But parents do not necessarily need to buy equipment, it is enough to rent it or use only basic equipment. This is especially good in the first months until they are sure that their offspring will continue with this activity.
