chipping at the foundation
People are really getting to me lately.
I was at my sons baseball game last night and almost blew up hundreds of times. Here is what I saw: ( i wish this was fiction)
1- A child struck out and his father (the coach) yelled at him in front of everyone and said he was grounded from Playstation.
2- Same child struck out later. Father grounded him from everything. Father runs his hands through his hair run towards the fence and kicks an equipment bag.
3- The word fun was said one time. By the biggest asshole of them all.
Parents are ruining kids sports. They are 5 and 6 yrs old, jesus christ. I am as competitive as can be, but until you have a solid grasp on the basics and fundamentals of anything you will not excel. Sadly, most of these kids will say fuck it, I am not playing before they get that grasp. Great job COACH.
A mother of one of the boys, who is a great athelete, is about 7 months pregnant. She was smoking. Not like smoking hot, I mean light up a cigarette and suck on it smoking. Bitch.
It was revolting. I am no saint, don't get me wrong, but come on people. I looked at my son in the outfield playing with the flowers and kicking his hat...I smiled at him. Good job buddy, you are having fun. At this age thats what it is all about. Life gets too serious too fast anymore. I would love to be 6 years old, and have the summers off again. But, I tell you one thing...I sure as hell wouldn't play baseball with assholes like that in the game.
The entire experience taught me something...so it wasn't a total loss. I tend to be hard on my kids, certainly not physically...but they know when they have disappointed me. As most parents, I have high expectations of them. Life is a bitch...I hate to be so cliche, but fuck it is true. I never believed my father when he said that. I do now. Last night taught me to let the kids be kids. They will be swallowed by the shit of reality soon enough.
To fathers everywhere: Happy Fathers Day
