[quote=Anonymous]I still feel rage for my now grown children. One was kicked off the crew team at a regatta, supposedly because parents didn't feel "safe" with him being coxswain at the meet. (the skull had capsized once when they hit a log in practice, not unusual). In truth, another influential parent wanted their son to be coxswain. My daughter was eliminated from DI team just before their trip to national trials, because wealthier family had joined the team late. A friend's child was asked to leave scout troop because wealthy SAHMs didn't have room in mini van for her son. All of these are cases of wealthy, entitled families basically ambushing a child who had participated fully because their friends wanted a spot. The crushing impact on self confidence and esteem was pretty awful to see. I'm still angry at myself for not being more insistent on their behalf, but not sure what I could have done.[/quote]
