Thirsty Thursday

I have coached my son and daughters in multiple sports. It is obviously more fun to win, than to lose, but its not only about that. Now that I think about it, I coached girls soccer and lacrosse. My son played flag and tackle football, and lacrosse. I am sure that I am forgetting a couple. Sports are more important to learning how to work together, toward a common goal, even if there is personality or cultural conflicts.

When I was in the thick of it, sometimes it would be a grind, but it was always good to get kids to take pride in working hard, and achieving something. Bumped into a kid that I coached in tackle. He had never played before, and the boys were 12 or 13. He was no enjoying it, and was going to quit. I stayed on him to not quit, and it would get better. He ended up playing through high school. Said if it wasn't for me, he would have quit. That was a good win for me.

I totally get it. I'm going to struggle with being the parent-fan in the stands for certain sports. I already do struggle with it. Even though I do bitch about things, I still enjoy it. Everyone here and outside of here knows I like to bitch/complain/moan when things go haywire but most know it's me just releasing it to move on and improve. I'm looking forward though to watching and having tailgating fun too. Really both sides of the argument are right & wrong depending on each situation.

I have no problem acknowledging reality, and dealing with it. I would obviously never teach kids to do anything differently. If the league keeps scores and records then guess what. They count. Most parents treat their kids like helpless fools. They’d rather lie to their faces than put the kid in the position to handle success and failure.

These are probably the same parents whose kids get poor grades and have problems in school with other kids. Never treated with respect. Never given any responsibility. Just coasting through life as dad reads his iPhone. I see LOTS of dads like this.

I am no saint, and have all kind of my own issues. I have tried to not pass those onto kids. I do get sappy about stuff like that though. Not gonna lie, it felt really good to know that I had a big impact on a kid that I had completely forgotten about until I saw him.

Part of the reason my wife & I get into it sometimes over the stepkids. Her parents & her ex & his parents baby those 3 too much. I'm a big believer in self-efficacy. I grew up in a strict house some would say. I get accused of being too strict with all the kids. Some situations I probably am. Really the key to everything is just finding that right balance. Like I said it's all dependent on each situation. What works best for you may not be the best for others and vice versa. I feel like I'm in the middle ground on this argument. From just reading posts on here I think those on both sides are probably doing the right thing for their situations more than the wrong. As they say there are different ways to do things to get the same result.

I’ll tailgate in a ski resort parking lot when it’s so cold, little boys like you won’t ask for ice cubes in their hot cocoa. It’s just not how I want to play golf.

Don't project your dry vagine issues on me
 
That’s a really strange Peter.

My dick is hard as a rock. You'll break your toes.

Also, skiing is over regardless of how much snow we get, so I'm onto spring. I want it to warm up so I can kayak down the Cuyahoga.

Also, I flew into CLE last night during that tornado watch. Bumpy as hell.

Lemme guess, flew in from skiing? Your heart is dark
