re: Travel ball is getting a lot less crowded for little Jaxson and Brayden

Sorry your beta kid sucks

Not surprising given that a dollar is worth about 75% of what it was worth two and a half years ago. If that.

Holy crap. If you’re being serious, then you are embarrassing yourself. If you spend that kind of money for your kid(s) to play a game…yikes.

I know you think it comes across as “look at how much I can spend on this!” But anyone with a brain sees it as “look at how retarded I am with money!”

It’s not bragging at all. It’s real world talk of expenses of some of these things and once you start adding a World Series week stay, you add 8-10 weekend or longer weekend tournament stays at hotels, haven’t even thought of gas costs if travel, volleyball dues are expensive, either sport you’re talking $300-$500 bats, it’s just a revolving door of various expenses. But this is our life for a few years, it’s what we enjoy and all this becomes our vacations and leisure time.

Both of my kids just start taking lessons. Luckily neither one of them show any promise.

Some travel ball parents live through their kids not all. Mine didn’t start playing tournament ball until he was 11.

I’m on the oh shite side of spending for a child’s sport. Sometimes that’s the thing you have to do.

Dey in for a worser fate

Breh y'all obviously aren't on the level of some of the dad's I know. They take their soccer kids to camp.... In Europe! Can't possibly get little landynn exposure to clubs in Italy unless they go over there and show them what's up.
