I once read an article that a man wrote after witnessing some horrible parenting..........at the check out of a grocery store is probably one of the worst places to have a little one with you.........candy....money....waiting.....cart wheels.....parents say some pretty thoughtless things in that setting......the author's response to them is "Congratulations......you just broke your baby"........breaking one of their bones might be a better choice than having them hear the nastiness that can come out of a parent's mouth........."knock it off, how many times have I told you?, why did I bring you with me?......
...I'm paying close attention to what my son is told by his coaches.........sports outside of school always have a daddyball component.......a coach's child will play....the end......a coach's child will also get ridden harder than the others.........recently I heard a coach say to his son "you have to be the one.....what good are you?"
What an ugly thing to say to anyone!...........I'm afraid a twelve-year-old boy hears the word WORTHLESS ringing through his brain ....what does that teach him? ...and really.......the useless coaching annoys me to.........."gotta have those"......"hit the ball".............we have a parent whose cheer is "I believe in you"...............that.........is beautiful.....
