Kids will drive you nuts!!!
| Thu, 08-14-2003 - 9:14am |
well, my ds has been in try-outs allweek for high school football.there are other kids who are older,bigger and into their second year,,so OF COURSE thay will be first string--WELL NOW he wants to QUIT!! ARRRGH--after all i went thru for him to try-out.All the kids "make the team" but not all PLAY. And he will have practice 5 nites a week for 3 hours.I told hom " No way are you quitting yet".He needs to bite the bullet on this one for awhile..what sucks is he is tall but thin--has more of a basketball body..but time will tell. AND tonite I have to go to his other PAID league and tell him hes quitting..which i dont mind cuz the coaches are TERRIBLE on his new team and one coach brings in 5 black kids from the projects so they can play and pays NO attention to the kids who have been in this league for YEARS!!!So..The first game is this saturday..they wont have him, but i am relieved because they are playng a really big tuff team and risk of injury is high. Better safe than sorry.. So i guess I paid $180.00 for a jersey he will never use basicallY!!!--sorry,just venting...mel

>>My mother gave me the last say in it, but said that if I quit because it gets hard I'll just turn into an adult that quits when things get tough - maybe do that to my family someday.
**Smart mom sliverpink. Thanks for that share. :)

**Don't mean to rain on your vent or anything, but shouldn't "project kids" get a chance too?? It may help to make the *TEAM* better! There's no "I" in "TEAM" remember?? :::wink:::wink ;o) ;o)
Much love,

me: "I'm sorry! I'm doing the best I can! I've never done this before!"
him:"I don't give a @#$% about your best!!!!!!!!!!! The second that bull @#$% comes out of your mouth you've put a limit on yourself AND your team!!!!!! Now get your @ss out there and shock yourself!"
-I thank him every day I attack something difficult HEAD ON!
Hey Mel,
It's hard when the kids don't get what they *want*
However after paying for it ..
We always tried to tell our boys that quitting is not the right answer ..
You will let the team down as well ..
Good luck on this one hon :)
~Hugs~
