My husband is super involved in our daughters' sport with them and women tend to fawn over him like he's some kind of saint. He's also good looking, funny, smart, and successful, but I swear he earns multiple bonus points for being so involved. In my mind, he's doing his share to raise our kids, so while I'm glad he's so involved and I appreciate the time he spends with them, I also think it's what he should do, not something that's going above and beyond.

THIS POST IS FROM 2021....

I got involved with my daughter's friend's mom. It was one of the biggest mistakes of my life.

Coaching youth sports is so easy. I helped my kid's softball team for three years and all I did was stand by first base and made sure all the kids stepped on the plate and when the next batter was up they ran to second base. That's it. The coaching staff was so happy I was there to help.

I played eight years of sports, but never baseball/softball. It really is not hard to help with youth sports. Most parents are just too lazy. Like I said all I did was stand at first base. Other parents stood at second and third. The coaches normally pitched and was with the batter.

So you're one of those lazy parents who want to drop off their kids and leave. Or just sit there and play with your phone for an hour. Nice parenting.

we can't all be "Coaches" who focus only on putting our own kids in the best positions and ignore the rest of the team

Most youth sports parents don't need to know anything. Just help keep the kids organized. I coached my kid's softball and track clubs. All the volunteer parents did was stand there. It's the lazy ones who sit in their car, sit on the bench starring at their iPhone, or just drop their kid off and leave.

Again, NO youth club needs all parents to be coaches. Just volunteer to stand there and help. It's not hard. Parents are just lazy.

Ive coached every youth sport my kids were involved in, even sports I knew little about because other parents would never do it. I would look up soccer drills on my free time and try to learn the game because I never played it besides gym class. Finally when my oldest child's grade got to the point where they really needed to know the game better, I said they need to find a real coach. Finally another parent who played the game stepped up, but I still helped out. I still help out now with their varsity sports when needed Ive chased balls around, prepped the fields etc. If I am there I will gladly help. During all the time I did coach, I never noticed any of the mom's flirting with me.

But you still do not have to be "fake nice" to them.
