Autocorrect and texting about House of the Dragon got me. But thanks for the spelling police post.

Recently went through this with our soon to be 16 year old son. I emailed coaches and teachers explaining that he had lost phone privileges and they should text/email us for the next week instead of him. Worked perfectly and they were very supportive.

God please help me. My daughter is making me lose control and constantly pissing me off with her smart mouth and disrespectful arse. Already raised 2 daughters and know where near the issues I am having with her. Can’t go a day without her constantly having a bad attitude and just being down right ugly to her mom and now me. Took her phone away and her mom in my damn ear saying she needs her phone because that’s how her coaches communicate with their players on things. I told her I don’t give a damn they can contact us. She keeps repeating they are teaching them to handle their business without going thru the parents. To be independent she says. I said tough shite. I don’t give a damn what they are teaching. I have to teach her not to be disrespectful. So me and wife arguing now. Ughhh and no pics of the wife…. Damn I needed to vent.

and people ask me why i dont have kids.

WTH? As a head coach, you should be doing that anyways. No coach can contact via email, texts, apps, etc. a kid without copying a parent at our schools.

People like you are the precise reason so many people are leaving the teaching and coaching profession.

I've coached high school softball for 10+ years mostly as an assistant, but the last couple years as a head coach. Every coach I've worked for, including the one that won multiple state titles treats their team like family. We have all helped these kids and parents through all of the difficulties of growing up, gaining confidence and learning to play ball at a high level, we have team activities outside of softball, we have been to mso many of these girls weddings, some have babysat my children, I have gotten to see their children and even passed down clothes from mine to theirs and have developed close relationships with many of their parents as well, It is a true family, where if someone was to ever hurt one of those kids, we would be right there with their parents looking for justice. Being blessed enough to have been a part of so many families lives and help them is easily the greatest blessing of my life behind my own wife and children.

Yet, stupid people like you, are incapable of understanding stuff like that and say dumb shite like above and assumes that everyone might harm your child. You're honestly not helping your kids by treating them that way.

There is a need to share information quickly with those kids sometimes about field changes, weather changes, practice changes the day of while they are at school, etc, injury situations, just the mass amount of basic simple crap that comes up during the course of a high school season. There's absolutely nothing nefarious about any of that. I'm truly sorry that you live such a tortured existence as to fear a bogeyman around every corner. That thought process and isolation is one of the bigger problems in our society.

Not looking forward to this... FML

Good luck. Next beer is on me

I worked with a guy that had a little demonic 13 year old daughter like this. They caught her sending sexting pics and everything to boys. All she does is watch and and make TikTok videos all day long and do everything she can to be a little bitch to him and his wife.

He literally said he hates his own daughter.

I hate to tell you this but this is just the beginning of this shite it will get worse before it gets better

I remember when the wife and I were having children. Ended up having two sons. I really wanted a daughter.

So thankful that God did not answer that prayer.

There is absolutely no reason you can't copy a parent on those emails or texts, though. A coach insisting on not doing that and instead having private communications with kids is a little weird to me, not going to lie.

There are some parents and athletic department admins in the group me that the kids created to get that information, I said that earlier. Some of the parents don't give a crap to be in it, and nobody is putting out shite like that in triplicate because one parent is scared of their own damn shadow.

I also have a parent only email that goes out each Sunday during the season that outlines the initial plan for that week and anything extra that might be important going into the week. But for fast changes it gets blasted to that group message.

I'll also add the bad ones are easy to spot from a mile away and the kids know and say something if they see anything.

The only one I know of was at the place I was like 11 years ago and apparently had some sketchy communication with some kids, the girls knew immediately, told their parents and he got run off. I started there as an assistant the year after that with the parent as head coach that took over when that crap happened the year before. So, I'm not saying it's not possible, just that it's insanely obvious to the whole team if there is even the possibility of a coach being a problem and those kids and good coaches aren't putting up with that crap.

95+% of the coaches out there are working their assess off to help other people's kids and doing everything the right way to the best of their ability.
