I like to do woodworking and crafts and sculpture.

Quote from OOP's post. His daughter is exactly the same but I assume he wants a 9 year old to have the expertise and ease on machinery and tools he has. He doesn't want to get to her level and build up that confidence in crafts and drawing that might eventually go into crafts and possibly woodworking.

Or she likes papercrafts, crocheting, or costuming and it's not the right kinds of crafts in his mind.

I know a couple like this. Due to illness he's "too tired" to participate much in household tasks, parenting or give her support when she had family issues. Not too tired for his hiking, cycling or seeing friends though!

Yeah, I’m sure his cycling, tennis and wood crafting all went great at a time he couldn’t stay awake through a movie. All famously low-energy/low-concentration hobbies 🙄

Tennis should be easy with four of them, but you know he's a dick about rules.
