[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You mean she decided NOT to participate? [/quote]

Yes, sorry. Dropped the word NOT.

She saw the commitment involved and what she'd have to give up so chose not to do it. [/quote]

If I were you, I would have made her do it or told her she owed me the money I spend on the coach.  Your kid sounds pretty entitled to have her parent hire her a personal coach to make a team, then make the team and decide not to participate because it would be too much effort.

I'm curious about something: Were you born an insufferable, rude twat, or did you learn that behavior later?

I hired a personal coach before tryouts so she would have some idea of what to expect and to develop some skills. She didn't "have" me hire her a personal coach -- it was something I decided to do for her to put her on equal footing with the competition.

Do NOT feed the trolls, PP.

It's her choice to not participate. Playing on the team would have meant giving up a musical instrument, a school play, and some church activities. She's far too young to specialize in a sport. I respect her thought process. She was good enough to be on the team, but didn't want to do that thing exclusively.

She can always do it later.

As for you, your remarks about her being "entitled" sound like projection. I'm sorry to learn that you completely fucking up your children's upbringing, but please don't take it out on others. Keep your failures to yourself.[/quote][/quote]
