Shut up already!

Ugh! Can I tell you how much I hate going to my kids soccer games? I love watching my kids play soccer but I hate all the parents! I kid you not, I got three phone calls BEGGING for one of us to coach Matthais's team. They couldn't find anyone willing to coach. That is totally AMAZING to me since there were 5 dads yelling so loudly the boys couldn't hear their real coach! Seriously, if you want to yell at the boys and tell them what to do, volunteer to be the coach! If not, just sit down, shut up and let the coach do her thing. I think next time I'll sit on the other side of the field.

Angi, you're hilarious. I am the coach for both Isaac and John's soccer teams and I swear all little boys are ADD. They are so cute, but it feels like I'm yelling for an hour straight.

AMEN, sister! I am learning that is gets even worse in football. But I had to leave a game of Jill's once because of that. I knew I would say something in retaliation and gave myself a time out first. Hang in there. Your kids will see YOUR example and they'll feel how the "bad' parents make them feel. You're doing it right!
