[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And how do we all get so caught up in this?  Like why is there a forum devoted to soccer and people (us!!) on here daily.  Why are we all so worried about our kids ending up on the 'right' team?  I know this occupies more of my mind than it should but I can't make it stop!  Must be severe FOMO.  [/quote]

I have asked myself the same thing, and here is what I have decided for myself: life is honestly kinda boring at this stage — no major life milestones, working at the same job for a long time now, a significant amount of free time is spent driving to and from practices and games — so it’s where my focus ends up when I am not at work or with family/friends. Even when socializing, the conversation somehow ends up turning to youth sports too much of the time, so clearly others are in the same boat. The other reason for me is… our country and the world is kinda falling apart. It’s all so heavy and I feel anxious if I dwell on it. I can’t control world events, but I can trick myself into feeling a sense of control over where my kids play soccer. [/quote]
