[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading this, I'm astonished.  First off, I'm gen-X, and no, we're not the ones insisting that everything be done the old way. The "old way", when we were kids, was to be dropped off at the event and picked up later. Our parents did NOT hang out at every meet or practice.  If we were hungry, we had to bring our own snacks. When I saw the lists of how the meets require 36-40 volunteers per meet, there were a LOT of unnecessary things on that list. You're getting pissed off because a lot of people don't want to do all the make-work stuff and give a ribbon to every kid.  If parents were too noisy, you turned around and told them to be quiet, but wait, our parents weren't there anyway.

I"m writing the check. [/quote]

If you had done swim meets your parents would have been volunteering.[/quote]

No. We had a functional school system with school-based extracurriculars and it was all done by the schools.[/quote]

Ok, that’s not summer swim, so pipe down.[/quote]
