[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New empty nester here and mom of 3DC. One played 3 varsity sports.

Fully admit that I am loving this phase of life where we/I don’t have to work snack bar, get to home and away games right after work, eat dinner at 9 p.m., feel compelled to attend every single game.

Also my local ILs decided long ago that they would also go to every single game so it was a full decade of sitting next to them and making small talk to the exclusion of all the other team parents - my ILs are generally disinterested in meeting “outsiders” are snobs and expected to be catered to and cared for during each game. So, I’d chose my battles/games just for some breathing room. If I knew they wouldn’t be at one, I’d be there. If they both were going I’d try to arrive later and leave immediately.[/quote]

And another thing. I hated how my ILs would critique the game during g and afterward. How come DC didn’t start? How come DC is sitting out? How do you think DC played? Ugh. Then they’d want to go to dinner after to discuss further and that’s when I began to drive separately. Nope. Not the coach and I truly don’t care enough to dissect and analyze my HS playing.[/quote]
