[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, my parents came to almost every soccer and softball game from 5th grade to senior. Even stayed for varsity games when I was on JV and sat varsity (in case I got playing time). My parents were far from helicopter parents, but they enjoyed coming and made friends with some of the parents.

Anyway, I am 30 now and I definitely noticed the effort they put in to show up. I think kids care more than you think. [/quote]

That is awesome, but they must have had incredibly flexible jobs![/quote]

Why do you say that?  that is odd.[/quote]

DP, but I agree that your parents must not have had many responsibilities or hobbies outside their kids.  Whether a parent shows up every time is not indicative of how much they love their child.  I played sports through high school, and would find it odd if mine were there every single game.  Definitely wanted them there for a big game.  Of course these days every game / event is billed as a big game, right?[/quote]
