[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At 4 we missed half the weeknight practices anyway.  We just showed up for game day. The ones we actually went to, we hit McDonalds after.  [/quote]

Then why bother? Just wait until the kid is a little older to sign up[/quote]

Because he was four. The "practice" was like teaching cats to play T ball.  I wanted the kid to get familiar with the terrain, the equipment, the rules of the game, the other kids etc. The practice usually ended early and the kids went to the playground.  I'm not going to kill myself trying to make weeknight practice for a four year old - I'll show up when I can.  But you do you. [/quote]

Yes, but someone was volunteering their time to herd those little cats. The very, very least you can do is show up to practice. It actually does matter. If you will show up when you can, do everyone a favor and don’t bother until you can commit to the bare minimum. Showing up for the games when you didn’t come to practice sends a bad message to your kid and the team.[/quote]

Get over yourself. So dual income families can never do team sports unless mom cuts her day short so as not to miss the 4 yo practice? How very feminist of you.  [/quote]

No one said mom only. But the PP is right about a volunteer is leading practice and showing up just for games is a jerk move. [/quote]

No one said mom only but let’s be real here. Who’s going to cut the day short? Hack the original post is about a mom who was lamenting having to drive and make dinner. There’s a reason that women take the brunt of the pandemic PP. You’re pretty tone deaf if you don’t get that.  [/quote]
