Some Parents Parenting....

Parenting is an issue I take to heart... for many reasons. 1) I want my children to be respectful, well liked, and well behaved children. 2) I want my children to know right from wrong 3) It builds and shapes the futures of our children, and many many more to name. Another issue I take to heart are the parents who DON'T PARENT!!! Dylan plays Northeast Concord baseball and I think he does a good job of it. He tries really hard, but most importantly he has FUN. Isn't that why they have it in the first place for 4, 5, & 6 year olds? They don't make allstars that young so I don't see what the big deal is. Everyone is learning and trying to better their skills. Some kids aren't as good as others... and since when did laughing at another child become an appropiate thing for other children to be doing? That's where that lovely parenting roll comes in. Nothing burns me more than a parent allowing another child to get away with that, especially when the child being laughed at IS MY OWN!!! I have no problem opening my big mouth and telling someone off and I have no problem opening my big mouth and telling another child to shut theirs. If their parent isn't going to take care of the problem, I will do it! Then I'd be first in line to tell that parent where to go too... because at no time is it ever okay for a child to make fun of another because they can't hit a pitch and need the tee. One thing I will always stand my ground and do is take up for my children... no questions asked, I don't care who I am standing up to. I wasn't there last night at baseball practice because Kelly and I were coaching t-ball, so this is all from Erik, but you can bet your tail I will be at the ball game tomorrow at 8am and if he is being laughed at, so help me lord... I will make a scene... I will drag him out and take him home before I allow another child to purposely hurt his feelings. He's my little boy and I love him and I am soooooo very proud of him... he deserves to be out there with the rest of the children and I will make that known if need be!

Okay, done venting now...

Go Dylan!!! #6
