[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

1)Sports are all paid for long ago.  The teams are being really weird about the Zoom calls.  If my kids skip them I get emails from the coach "Oh, how is Jack doing?  We missed him on the call 4 out of 5 this week.  Is he okay?".  For real. I can't tell if they're just nervous because if kids stop dropping
off attendance then they (the teams) will have no reason to justify keeping our fulls fees this spring.  OR if they're going to use not attending against kids when they try out again.  Travel teams are weird and pull shady crap at tryouts all.the.time.  I can totally see them eventually dropping a 
kid because in part "they didn't show interest in the team by not participating in the zoom calls during quarantine".  [b]Yes, I sound crazy to those of you not in the world of travel sports (lucky you). [/b] On my kids' travel teams EVERYONE is participating on these calls.  You know that it's causing 
many of them added stress to do so but they'e logging in day-after-day.  So i'm not alone in wondering if there will be repercussions if I pull my kids off the calls.   Typing that out makes me realize how nuts this whole travel scene is. I probably should send some emails to the coach and/or program director.  However, in many ways it's been easier 
to just cooperate with the calls.   :?

2)To the person who should I shouldn't have had more kids than I can take care of?  LOL.  If only I had taken into account a world-wide pandemic when I was family planning 15 years ago.  If I had considered the possibility of a compete societal shut-down I clearly wouldn't have had ANY kids.

3)Best of luck to all of you and thank you for letting me vent and for commiserating with me.  :)[/quote]
