[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some kids have parents who rarely show up. It strikes me as very sad.[/quote]

I remember seeing the Dad of one of DS' soccer teammates sitting in his truck watching TV on his phone during a game.

It was honestly one of the saddest things I've ever seen[/quote]

Don't judge. Some parents have disabilities or ailments that prevent then from walking/standing/sitting for long periods so they stay in the car.[/quote]

Nope.  I will 100% judge this man

He had no disability.  He just didn't like soccer and felt his interests were more important than watching his son.

DP. I don't think you have to be judging necessarily to feel sorry for the kids, you know?[/quote]

Sure.  And you're right.  I was more responding to the poster that told me not to judge, than actually talking about how I felt in the moment.  In the moment, I was more sad for the kid.

But at the same time, I did judge that Dad.  I texted my spouse and told him how upsetting it was.  And I thought less of him as a father.  For some reason, the idea of "judging" has become a bad one in all situations.  And thats not right; sometimes people deserve to get judged.  I don't feel bad about judging that person and thinking less of them as a father.
