[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t stress this enough. This is between the parent and the coach. There may be extenuating circumstances that are at play. But the level of judgement and “priorities”. I’m sure your co-workers are always thrilled when you leave work early for soccer or are late in the morning. I’ve heard every excuse in the book so I guess this board is full of people who are never late, never use weather, a sick kid, soccer practice, school meetings and events as an excuse to bail on work.

Lay off your tough talk of never missing a practice while likely walking out ion your work team.

Not everyone can telecommute, not everyone can afford a nanny, not everyone can afford travel soccer much less missing work just to not be late at practice by ten minutes and not everyone can afford to just “pay a high school kid” to drive them. [/quote]

Most people would have to have a very serious lack of organizational abilities to be in a situation where they signed their kid up for a sport, but couldn't figure out any way to get them there on time without cutting corners at work.  If you have no family to help, no friends/neighbors/acquaintances to carpool with, no acquaintances you could figure out a barter system with, no money to pay even a high school student, then yes, you may have trouble getting your kid to a practice that is not walking distance from home.  But I highly doubt that is the situation for the OP or anyone else here.[/quote]
