[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I call them bros and bro-ettes.

“Cool” (in their minds) moms and dads who are obsessed with their kids playing sports who drink too much is the basic idea.  Selectively friendly.  Totally basic.

And I don't understand how they get their kids to do what they want! There are all these three-kid families where all three kids are star athletes but the parents don't seem all that athletic. They dress the part but they're practically alcoholic (booze at every little league game and even practice) and not exactly fit. None of the kids are "quirky", untalented or uninterested. [/quote]

There is a huge group like this in our area. Usually the dads take turns coaching & sitting on the boards of the younger kids sports leagues- their kids are not necessarily athletic but will always play shortstop or quarterback etc. They put a ton of pressure on their kids and the dads berate their kids when they don’t do well. No one says anything. Socially, the parents all drink everywhere and a LOT-  while the kids run around left to their own devices. By the time high school runs around, a lot of the kids have quit these sports and moved on to  their parents’ fave hobby (partying) [/quote]
