[quote=Anonymous]I have 2 kids and they are in middle school. I love to go to their games (depending on the weather). I love to be outdoors. I love to watch them play.

But, there are 2 of them and mostly their games conflict in some way so I only go to 1/2 their games. Sometimes both parents but mostly just one is at the game (because they drove them there) but I do think it has to do with schedules/how many kids you have.

My son is getting older now and made a travel team and they take a bus to their games. Parents don't go. I will miss seeing him play. I will probably drive to some.

I don't cheer during games or make comments. I clap for good plays (even for the other team sometimes) - like if a goalie makes a really good stop. I don't really talk much about the game in the car. Maybe that is the difference, I am not hovering.

My son waves to me from the field/court. I give a little thumbs up.

But I like sports. I go to UMD, Georgetown and Navy games also. I am not affiliated with 2 of those schools.

I don't think it is really about pro's and con's - I do what I like. I am not sure how my kids would get to their games if I did not drive them, carpools are complicated, people are coming from different directions and then going in different directions. I will go to one game and then straight to a cookout, for example.

I have made some really good friends on the sidelines of my children's sports teams.  [/quote]
