Really? Isn't this the opposite of what Coach just told me?
pretty much.
my son started playing little loop football. And I was making fun of one of his little buddies' mom cause her feet were green from mowing the lawn wearing flip flops. The little kid kept asking "when is dad going to show up." It was there 1st scrimmage against a team from another town. The mom didnt have an answer. The boy asked him mom the same question, "when is dad going to show up" every water break.
The dad finally shows up and him and his ex-wife start fighting. Got to the point the girl realized she had to walk away so they could argue with eachother where noone could hear.
Scrimmage ends and they are still arguing. I ended up taking him to the snack bar with my son for pizza, pop, icees and to talk about all the "great" plays and hits they made. Then threw the ball around till the mom came back crying.
The chick didn't need to have green feet. The kid could have used a little extra practice. And Steve wanted an extra slice and ain't planning on doing any weed whacking.
Moral of the story: less time spent arguing with your wife the more time to spend with your kids.
