"she humblebragged about how “awful” she looks without any makeup"
This is what most “modest and rational” parents do
No, modest people do not brag. That is what modest people do.
Most people aren’t modest. They pretend to be. Most people are competitive. Even Betas are competitive when it come to their kids. This isn’t new. Parents are always trying to gain an advantage for their kid. This is why the landscape looks like it does. We, the parents, created this
I think a rational person can look at the landscape, see a pathway, utilize it without feeling compelled to brag about it every step of the way.
The truth is, you’re bragging to the choir. I love sports, I enjoy watching sports and I enjoy watching my kid play sports. Winning offers a sense of accomplishment and is a reward for hard work. So is an A on a report card. Neither would I find necessary to post about. I can be happy, proud, etc without the need to brag about.
Does anyone but those involved in the game care about the score? No, other than overly invested strangers on a website.
But people do care. Thats why they ask. If you don’t care, that’s fine. If you think it’s stupid for people to care, that’s fine too.
As far as strangers.....you’re posting on a forum. In theory, you’re talking to everyone who is a stranger. So what makes you think that any of the strangers care about what you are saying?
The fact is, you don’t care if anyone like what your saying. You’re saying it anyways.
Just remember, the same rules apply for everyone else.
So, if you don’t like it, don’t respond to it....unless of course, your trying to WIN the argument.
I can almost guarantee someone will start a thread tomorrow for people to post friendly scores and you will be posting on it
The main point is a scrimmage score doesn’t matter.
Overly invested parents believe it does matter.
Overly invested parents in this thread have claimed the importance because of things like, bragging rights, revenge, the “parents are competitive”.
Not one of these parents view the scrimmages as simple opportunities for their kids to improve. Not a single parent has mentioned that scrimmages, because they don’t count and don’t matter that they offer their player an opportunity to play more freely without the fear of negative consequences. Players have a chance to attempt things at game speed they otherwise wouldn’t do in a real game.
But, since all you parents are so competitive, and feel the need to ask and to report the scores the opportunities are wasted on your kids. They won’t attempt to grow, in short they will do what they always do and not risk getting better because you, the competitive parent, want the “win” because of your investment and because you’re their “biggest fan”.
You believe it is the same as a regular game and sadly, that is exactly what you’ll get.
Can you two just get a room already?
You mean it is just two people? I thought everyone cared about scrimmages?

Interesting that you mock numbers that will actually matter but you will brag about a scrimmage score that doesn’t matter.
I wasn’t mocking the academic scores. I was mocking the parent who acts like they don’t care but then post their child’s achievement on social media in the form of a “humble brag”.
But you knew that. You just want to be argumentative.
A lot of back and forth from these laid back non-competitive parents.
You’re being very competitive. Are you trying to win?
I personally don’t brag or humble brag about my kids. Most rational, modest people don’t, but I would believe that a person who brags about scrimmage scores is most likely to brag about anything.
Scrimmage guy and hashtag guy are the same guy.

I can't speak for all the teams across all age groups at FCV and Loudoun but re: 07G, neither coach wants that! Both sides see it as "nothing to gain" because if they win, "well, of course we should have won! we're better than they are!" and if they lose, well, half of the parents would commit suicide and then the losing coach couldn't claim that they're still "the best"!
Interesting that this would be the attitude of parents of U14 players.
Makes you think?
Uh. Stick around. It’s real. And yes, the kids even talk trash in the HS halls (Well, they did once upon a time). I laugh when poster say the kids don’t care. Trust me, the kids care. ECNL/GA kids are competitive. Losing should suck. If it doesn’t, well.....good luck
Actually, no one really cares. Not even the kids. Well, maybe the FCV parents and kids care, cuz, well ... that’s all they have in their lives.
And this is likely who thinks scrimmages matter and demands scores.

ah yes, right out of the gaslighter's manual. Could you possibly be less clever? The fact that you even post here says you care. I liked the way you wove in the dig on FCV though.
