[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound exhausting.[/quote] Ah, it's the same tired DCUM thing where a bunch of posters are too cool for school and act like caring about anything makes someone a helicopter parent just out for themselves. OP clearly has a kid who works hard and is being impacted in their sport by their age, and is frustrated by it. It doesn't mean it is consuming their life or the parent is obsessed. Ignoring the kid or telling them 'that's tough' in an unsympathetic way as some posters seem to suggest is not going to help. Things are tough right now...can't we just give each other the benefit of the doubt? Do you really feel like you know someone's parenting style from a question on DCUM? Asking a question about helping one's child feel better does not make someone exhausting. If you don't have a helpful response, why respond at all? Are you just trying to make someone feel bad?
