[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can’t police what this kid says and he can’t take it back.  This rumor seems dumb anyhow bc if your son deserves to be on the team, his skill will set the record straight.  He doesn’t need mom help.

But he doesn’t seem to like your son so why would you arrange for them to car pool.  [/quote]

I agree with this. Not a lot you can do without further entrenching the idea that he needs mommy and daddy’s help with these things. It sucks, I would be super sad and angry if it were my kid. But hopefully his playing will show them he’s good enough to be on the team.

I would also consider backing out of the carpool. But I might want to see how they interact. If he’s being an AH to your son in your presence, that’s something you can raise with his mom. [/quote]

As someone whose son experienced something similar at the same age, I agree with this too.

I know how tempting it is to step in and try to make it "right", but it could make it even worse, and as time goes on, the teammates will chill out.  It's just the "thing" right now for them to pile on, but it'll lose its luster quickly and they'll be onto the next nonsense.[/quote]
