[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister and one of her sons missed my child's 1st bday party for a soccer tournament when he was 10/11(Year 2005).  I had previously showed up for everyone of her 3 boys' bday parties, first communion, school things, etc.  10-years running.  I was married 7 years prior to having first child so it was a big deal to me.

My sister and I had both won National soccer championships ourselves, so I get sports--but I have had my now 12 and 9-year kid's and will miss games for family events.

People lose perspective, as do coaches.

I now see how futile all this is and how more important family is.  Even my professional retired athlete brother agrees.

It's not the World Cup.

I never said anything at the time, but 11-years later it still bugs me.[/quote]

Seriously? You are still worked up 11 years later over your sister and nephew missing a 1 year old birthday party? Lady, you need to really get a grip. Even your then 1 year old had not concept of what was going on that day. You owe your sister a big apology for your reacting the way you did back then and holding on to it these many years later is concerning.  [/quote]
