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.
In all seriousness this is incorrect. Daughters are awesome. I'll take whatever the bad years bring for all the good ones. I love the boys too but that girl is something else.

There are some parents in the group me that the kids created to get the information, I said that earlier, some of them don't give a crap to be in it. Nobody is putting out shite like that in triplicate because your scared of your own damn shadow.
CC'ing parents isn't difficult at all to do. If parents don't want to be copied on it, that's one thing, but your argument is that it's too much of a burden on you, which is downright absurd. No parent or administration is asking too much of you to copy a parent on all private student-teacher communications. That's a really basic request.

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
So you allow that ~5% of coaches may be "bad coaches" and you're still OK with private communication between a coach and student? This the book that inspired you to coach?

I didn't mean to suggest you shouldn't be. I just don't think it's a gift from God that you weren't blessed with a daughter. Sons are a blessing as well.

Feel free to make all the quips you like, judge people and love your life in the guilty until proven innocent mentality.
I'm just going to continue to spend my life helping other people's kids improve their lives and continue to treat everyone of them as if they were my own family just like I do now.

How long before she turns 16? Because the prospects of her going to driver's ed and eventually getting a license are yet another bit of leverage in your corner...
As for the wife, tell her to stop undermining you. That never seems to work out well for the kid or the parents.
Just some thoughts. Good Luck with this, man.

People like you are the precise reason so many people are leaving the teaching and coaching profession.
What the frick ever. We're not those types at all. I'm stating a school policy which isn't a bad one at that. Why? You are dealing mostly with minors.
quote:
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.
Is this where you want a pat on the back before you begin this:
quote:
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.
Really? Are you serious with that statement? I'll give you a chance to reflect on what you just posted.
quote:
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.
Yeah, I know and it's simple to have the parents aware since we are the ones attending the games, picking up from practice, dealing with that simple crap which affect minors.
quote:
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.
This guy here. The more I read your post, is there more you need to tell us or get off your chest?
Posted on 10/4/22 at 2:39 pm to Cdawg
You are the one that called me out. I didn't ask for your opinion, but since you chose to share, I did as well. Now you don't like it. Your problem.
I'm gonna be settle a bit and add this. I responded to this thread to help the OP. Knowing that his wife was right, that his kid likely has a group me text where she gets information for her team, that if they would contact the coach , he or she would be glad to help them get any information while she didnt have her phone.
You and a couple others took that as a opportunity to make presumptions about my and other coaches actions in dealing with OUR teams. Perhaps phrase things in a manner that doesn't suggest people you don't know are doing things wrong when you share your opinion and you won't get such a terse response.

It will get better. It’s very difficult now, but it will get better. I can empathize, as I have been through this twice, and it definitely gets better.

I’m seeing this now. It’s brutal. Social media is stoking the fire. It’s a mid- life crisis issue.
Mom is living vicariously thru the youngest daughter. Daughter is treating mom like total shite, since mom has no leverage. Dad puts down the hammer and mom goes nuts.

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.
Not reading 11 pages to see if it’s been mentioned but I’d start right here. She wants to be a smart arse and disrespectful, then she’s done with the team for the remainder of the season. Call her coach and let them know that until her attitude changes she will no longer be a part of any team activities. You’ll get her attention real quick

Does she know you speak in the 3rd person under a pseudonym here while judging everyone?
I thank GOD everyone knows exactly who and what I am, crass and vulgar as I may be.

Scruffy simply described every poster on this board using OweO as the template.
She thinks y’all all deserve it now.

Well done buddy. Well done! I hate the anonymous assholes who lead double lives. They are Sassy anonymous perverts here while they are meek submissive married bitchboies IRL.
Mikel officially apologizes to Scruffy and takes it all back. Tell Pete L. I said I miss him and hope he's runnin shite these days.

No, without the 3rd person, Scruffy is pretty much like this in real life, although maybe more jovial. Dark humor often comes across a-hole-ish…and, well, can also be an a-hole.

Will do. He’s doing well. Been a bit since I’ve seen him, but will pass it along.

shite, my daughter was doing this at 7.
The rules were simple: question whatever you want in your head. Obey mom and dad immediately and without arguing or face consequences. If you need to question something, after obeying, you can ask with respect. We may justify, we may say "because I say so". Argue with either answer and face more consequences.

I raised two of them and never experienced the poor behavior that was described above...
