[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This happens ALL OF THE TIME.

My youngest is a rising Senior.

If your kid is starting over their kid---get used to it.  [/quote]

Oh I did have a moment when kids were smaller with a dad that was just nasty about all the teammates (his kid was goalie).  We all listened to him game after game after game---and directly to the kids on the field too. A real nasty loud mouth.  I snapped out tournament (only mom amongst many dads) and just said 'shut the F*ck up'. He never uttered a word again. Not my proudest moment, but I was a hero among the other dads and having a woman tell him to shut the F up I think humbled him.

I never uttered a word on any sideline since. Grew a thick skin and saw how pathetic and obvious these type of people are to everyone else.

With teen boys--it got to the point were the kid of the obnoxious dad would tell him to shut up.  They are embarrassed by their parent's behavior.[/quote]

Thanks:).  This brought back another crazy memory.  My youngest kid was maybe 8 years old at the time (he also was tiny for his age).  We were in a small gym for Futsal. The opposing coach was so incredibly loud and seemed fixated on my kid.  He would say at the top of his lungs 'he can't use his left', shut him down.  Now my kid was known to be completely ambidextrous with his feet. We drilled both feet training since he sould stand up straight.  It was kind of batsh*t crazy--parents on our team were saying to me 'what the fk'.  Then my kid nailed a goal with his left foot and I yelled at the top of my lungs "Nice left!", the entire gym burst out laughing.

It's a strange thing, these youth sports. [/quote]
