[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Come on, you guys are being ridiculous. OP is posting about this issue because within the span of more than a decade, she has experienced this only with Indian parents. So it definitely makes sense to mention it in her description, because she is asking herself whether there is a cultural thing here - I would too, in her shoes. The only reason you find this unbelievable is that you haven't experienced it yourself. However, this does not make her post racist!

Or perhaps there is one angry poster sock-puppetting this thread.

She is asking whether there is a cultural thing here, and about 10 different posts have said that there is not.  You and OP (if you're not OP sock puppeting support for herself)  have a comprehension problem.[/quote]

OP here: this makes the solution very easy. This is no SO, but a different, highly competitive team where over 200 kids tried out for about 20 slots. There is a significant wait list.  There are strict practice attendance requirements, or the child is replaced on the team. I had thought perhaps there were cultural issues I was unaware of that we're making setting up practices difficult. And wondering whether there was something I could do to make it easier to set up a rotation of practices possible. But, since I am apparently dealing with a difficult parent instead, we will just go with a standard rotation of meeting sites (like all the other subteams), with the parent-coaches present, rather than trying to accommodate IG. If she does not attend practice, we can just refer her to be replaced. Thanks!![/quote]

You've already been told it's not cultural across the board. So tend to the situation as if it were any girl- white, black, whatever- with very strict parents. Talk to the parents.

Clearly that simple answer is not what you wish to hear though.
