Physical fights on the field. Parents standing on the field. Death threat to the ref...followed him to the car.

My blonde gringo husband worked in Venezuela and Colombia and the profanity and insults they hurl at KIDS and the ref is awful.

This isn’t cute. It’s ridiculous.

I already keep the game time to myself until the last moment in hopes something else busies him but he asks repeatedly and clears his usually busy schedule to go. He is driving me so crazy!! Its unnecessary for him to do anything but his already ample clapping. Any tips on how to reach someone who sees the flaws in the other dads but not himself?

Lol. I’m Hispanic and soccer is in our blood to the point where even my mother (ds’ grandma) is yelling from time to time. My son plays in a predominantly latinx club and we are “THAT” club lol. Just can’t help it. It’s really about the kids experience. Most kids hate parents yelling. But the kids on my ds’ current team seem to thrive off the pressure. They do very well in EDP division one.

My daughter’s team played against a Hispanic team in the championship game. All the parents were so loud, yelling, etc. It made the game so much more fun, exciting and enjoyable. My daughter really thrived off from it even though it came from the other team’s parents.

Anonymous wrote:Op here, I swear I talk to him about this before and after the game. I even threaten him during the game. He is probably the third most yelly of the team dads so he sees himself as above the frey. I have asked ds if it bothers him and he says he does not notice because he hears the other dads mostly. I guess I will fall on the humiliation sword and yell at him publicly to be quiet next time instead of whispering or making frowny faces. I don't care that others do it at all, just don't want "disruptive dad" associated with my own kid. I cannot stand conflicting orders from coach and parent, but that could also be me being overly sensitive and mortified easily.

I get the nervous energy too but its mostly in my body turning or kicking out in the direction I want the ball to go (involuntarily). I know soccer games are SO MUCH FUN but if the general demeanor is relaxed I want to fit in that vein.
