I'm sorry your kid didn't get recruited because of your behavior. Thanks for the advice.

There are parents out here in the small dmv area that are known trouble.
The coaches talk to each other.

Their kid suffers

How big is the field that you can't just sit close to the middle?

Why helicopter over your kid?
You think they won't be fine without your amateur overshadowing?

Because it's crowded in the middle and I don't want to have to put up with bs small talk. I'd like to watch the game in peace. Why does it even matter to you?

If he plays college or goes pro, do you buy front row tickets on both ends of the field so you can switch at halftime?

We're not talking about college or pro are we?

No, we're talking about helicopter parents with bad sideline behavior

1000% I will walk down to the other side to watch my kid if most of the possession is in the other half. The reason I will do that is because the last reason I'm at that game is to worry about you not wanting me to walk down a sideline. I'm there for my kid and to be supportive. How sensitive can you be? It's no wonder most of you folks can't handle this environment and lose your minds. Oh, and there is one other reason...because I LOVE winding up adults who still aren't able to move on from their favorite middle school behaviors. See ya on your side!

I guess that makes me a helicopter parent, but I have never heard that term and I'm not sure why you would think that would bother me. I also don't wear the matching shirts and go to the team dinners with all the other adults. I'm there for my kid to be a good parent instead of being with my clique.

This is the classic narcissism of the "sports parent". This isn't your goal, your team, your win. This is your kid's goal, team, win and they don't need your support. You really need to think and understand this. It's your kid's experience not yours. All of you crazy parents are really all about yourself and won't let your kids have this experience in peace.

I'm going to 100% guess this is my kids' HS which is known for incredible nepotism and politics.

Honestly, sounds like you're the problem. If you as an adult can't handle tense moments at a kids soccer game, maybe you should stay home and watch the recording. "Tense moments", how ridiculous. This is a kids game, not the World Cup.

I will stand wherever I want…been doing so for many years and I don’t give a rat’s bum what any of y’all think.

If the sideline police want to report me, I’m easy to spot. I stand by the goal line away from everyone and I am very quiet. My kids are defenders and I enjoy watching them play. If that makes me a helicopter parent, then sign me up.

You are part of the problem, it has nothing to do with what comes out of your mouth. Moments get tense for some and you are there just to poke the bear. Just go to your side, I don't care where your kid plays. What's so hard?
