[quote=Anonymous]From a parent in this situation now I hope you would talk openly about how the team is doing. It's fun to hear news even if your child is no longer on the team. I would be happy if you asked me how my child likes her new team. There are parents who just avoid the subject altogether and that's really awkward and hurtful. When you ask how their weekend went they will demur and it will turn out they had a big tournament. Just tell me about the tournament! I will be happy if the team did well and share in your sadness if the team did not. The weirdest situation we had was when we were at a BBQ recently and the parents were talking about how they were celebrating after some game but when they noticed I was there and was confused they actually LIED and pretended they were talking about their older child's birthday party. Really strange and awkward.[/quote]
