[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I attend actual events, as in concerts and competitions. I never attend practices.  I don't think I ever attended a whole soccer game.  I find them excruciatingly boring so I don't. [/quote]

That’s sad.

I sit in my car for plenty of practices and don’t make every event, but just not showing up ever for one kid because you find it boring is sad.  [/quote]

I promise you that my kid doesn't know I'm missing when his head's underwater.[/quote]

Your soccer player’s head is underwater?[/quote]

Oh, I'm sorry, didn't realize this thread was specifically about soccer (because it's not). [/quote]

I responded to a poster who specifically said they had attended all the competitions, but never attended an entire soccer game, implying that they had multiple kids and just ignored one.

If you have never once seen your kid swim an entire race, then that's relevant.  If you sometimes miss some races, that's totally reasonable. Just like it would be reasonable to say "I attend some but not all of my kids' soccer games". [/quote]

There is one parent at each of her meets. Neither of us watch practice. Who cares? DS doesn't.[/quote]

How is that related to what I responded to which is a parent saying they had never once watched a kid's game?  If you had never once watched a race it would be relevant, but that doesn't apply to you.

I sit in the parking lot during each and every practice. This thread DOES apply to me.[/quote]
