[quote=Anonymous][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]

I do telecommute.  My parents did not.  My dad worked the flex schedule starting at 6:30am to free up the entire afternoon for soccer.  My mother went in later at 8am.

You work around and find solutions.  You sound like you can't leave work early or have a job that you can--that's respectable.  But, you know what you do?  You hire somebody that can get the kid there so you don't miss work or you find a carpool and a working solution.

I have some friends with some serious stressful jobs whose kids are at practice and games on time.[/quote]

“You hire somebody that can get the kid there”? Talk about entitled. Soccer is that important that somebody who may barely be able to afford the sport as now has to hire a driver?

Wow, talk about a bubble you live in. [/quote]
