[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are the kids? My parents didn’t stay and watch my activities or practices when I got to about 5th/6th grade. They stayed in the waiting room or in the car. I don’t think this is a huge deal once the kids are old enough to behave without parental intervention. [/quote] I’m noticing it across my kids ages, from 8 to 15.[/quote] The older kids would probably feel embarrassed if parents were watching them closely during practice and then people would have the opposite complaint of “ah, Aiden’s mom/dad is so overbearing at baseball/swimming/dance/whatwver … they always stay in the lobby or on the field and watch.” So yes this is yet another way in which parents can literally never win. Cool, good talk. [/quote]
