[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

We stopped all swim meets.  Its not safe to have that many kids and adults unmasked and all those willing are generally in person school and no other precautions and it puts families being cautious at risk.  There are lots of reasons why kids aren't doing meets.  [/quote]
Bless your heart for how hard you try to inject this into every thread, even when it is a compete non sequitur.[/quote]
