[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- I actually don't really care about #1 or #2, it's more that I hear a lot of complaints about it from other parents- as for #2, my DC finds it creepy when the parent just sits there and watches the whole entire time

as for #3, come on- they exist and you know it. Those parents that think they kid is the sh*t and treat all the other parents like they don't matter even when you're trying to be polite- It's like middle school all over again.

Personally, I think the worst swim parents are the ones who make their kids swim even when the kids says they don't want to. The kids talk, it's not a secret.

Depends on the kid. My kids never “want” to do anything except stay home and play video games. 
But I make them go, and when I pick them up they seem to have had a good time. [/quote]

My kid will complain about practice because he moved up to a harder group. He also volunteers to go to extra practices on a weekly basis.  So, your kid might hear my kid complain about not wanting to be at practice...yet the same kid is electing to go to additional practices and will say 3-4 times a week he's so glad he practices as much as he does.[/quote]

Complaining about practice is one thing - saying you hate to swim and don't want to do it is another.  My kids hear this from their friends.  And some will throw their parents under the bus - my mom and dad make me do this, I don't want to do it.  These kids won't swim meets and half ass it in the lane.  They are easy to spot.[/quote]
