This. So much this.  Land the helicopter. [b]Do something productive and stop with the creepy voyeuristic behavior[/b]. [/quote]

Troll.  Without a doubt.[/quote]

Nope.  Some parents really don't like the hyper parents and think it is in fact creepy.   It is voyeuristic too.  The viewing is for your pleasure.  It has no benefit for the children you are watching.  You are using kids for your enjoyment.  There is something icky about that.[/quote]
Who are you to say that having a parent there to watch their kid compete does nothing for the kid? I have an under 10 who before every meet insists I try and time because she wants me there. I know that will change as she gets older but for now, she wants me there and so I will do my best to be there. It’s part of being a parent, showing up for your kid when they want you to.[/quote]

It sounds like you need to be working on age appropriate independence and confidence.   You are holding them back.

 :roll: yeah, attending your child’s sporting events because they are excited about you watching them do something they love and are good at definitely holds them back.[/quote]

Their enjoyment of their activity and their progress in the activity should not be tied to you in any way whatsoever.  You should help them foster their own identity separate from you. It is a really imporant developmental step that should have been established years ago.  [/quote]
