[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the first year DS has played for a real competitive team and it's been a real struggle for me.  DH seems to fit in with the other dads fine.  For whatever reason, in our league , the dads are either pretty quiet [b]or just yell at their own kids[/b] (which doesn't really bother me as much).  Some of the moms?   The make snarky comments about other kids in that fake whisper where they act like they are whispering but really saying it loud enough for other people to hear.  Or make comments to/about the other team.  Or yell at the ref.   Sometimes it feels like I've stepped into some weird stereotypical mean mom movie.  [/quote]

They -really- shouldn't even be doing this. Just hush, people.

The rest is obviously horrible.

Oh I agree.  Part of me hopes DS hates it and we don't have to do it next year.  What's sad is how you can see it impact some of the kids.  Some of the kids are pretty mean as well and I only assume they are learning that from their equally mean parents.  I've found a couple moms who are similar to me, but I definitely feel a little ostracized from the clique and hope it doesn't negatively impact DS.  [/quote]
