[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being around like-minded people is part of it, for both parents and kids.  I feel much better about being completely obsessed with soccer when I'm surrounded by travel parent friends who feel exactly the same way.  And my son is never happier than we he's around the other kids on his team who live and breathe the game, just like he does.  [b]Just for perspective, this is one of the better teams in the state, perhaps the Mid-Atlantic, so it's a different level of player and mindset than at a mid-tier team at a mediocre club.[/b][/quote]

Barf.  I hate the way parents talk these days (bolded for emphasis).  We all were on these teams as kids---me: 4 State Championships, 2 Eastern Region championship; sibling: National Championship, another sibling: State Team member, All-American, etc.

My parents never talked this douchey lingo.  I hate being surrounded by people that are so myopic.  Yes, we all love soccer in my family--but we have a life and other interests too.  And the need to recite 'mid-tier team at a mediocre club' with disdain.  Get a life.[/quote]

You are reading way too much into this.  But thanks for sharing your impressive athletic resume.[/quote]
