[quote=Anonymous]I think it has a little to do with parent jealousy or insecurity. We have left teams and clubs a few times and have received odd reactions from parents. The parents with multiple older kids seems to get it and care less. The newer parents whose oldest child/ only child seems to take it awkwardly. They are jealous you might be off to s better environment and perhaps insecure that their new parenting friend is leaving the social circle. We are all investing time and money on a level that does not seem to pass the common sense test, yet we continue to do so in part that it is socially acceptable. But, when someone leaves the validating parent group, parents might look deeper into their own doubts about the resources spent participating in travel sports. These emotions will illicit strange reactions from parents who say they are leaving the team. -We have seen it 3x over so far. [/quote]
