[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is going on and on about it. It may be mentioned by someone or someone’s but that’s it. It isn’t like this is raised every single time your kid practices. [/quote]

Agree. And I’m doubtful that OP’s son is expressing any bad feelings about his birthday that is 2 months away. OP sounds a bit overly invested in this narrative. [/quote]

Glad you two know more about what’s going on with my kid and how he’s feeling than I do. Especially since you’ve never met him.

Look, it sucks to see your 10 year old kid dreading his birthday. There is one coach in particular who only cares about winning age group champs, the rest are much better and focus on long term development. This coach seems almost angry with my son for aging up, because in general he is scoring tons of points for the team. Luckily aging up also means he will move to a new coach.

Not sure why I would make this stuff up. My point was that this is a sport, and it’s for fun, and there is zero need for a fifth grader to be made to feel bad for being born in February. [/quote]

You’re the one saying parents and swimmers were also “all over him” about his Bday and aging up. The story, as presented initially, doesn’t ring true. What swim parents would go on and on about this unless taking your lead (and you’re raising it first)?[/quote]
