[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up poor, so the phrase “life isn’t fair” was a huge part of my upbringing and I guess that I still have it. Life isn’t always fair, it’s time you face that fact and teach your kids instead of whining about it. There are a million ways to get ssl hours and if your kids can’t be a junior coach then they’ll have to find something else to do. No it’s not their fault. It wasn’t my fault I couldn’t go to summer camp because my parents couldn’t afford it. But when I applied for a counselor job I’m not surprised I didn’t get it because I had zero experience at camp (even though I was always great with kids and would have done well). Instead I got a job bussing tables.

Life isn’t fair, as soon as you accept it and know how to move on, the sooner you’ll be happy.[/quote]

This might be the most helpful post on here.

I know this is true. I’m just said and upset at myself for not having done better.[/quote]

Good, I’m glad it was helpful. Now give yourself two more hours to wallow in your feelings and then move on. You will teach your kids some resilience and that resilience will help them more as adults than a few hours of coaching. Believe in yourself and believe in them.[/quote]
