Dude, you have got to give some sort of context here.

Not you. You’re clueless as to how to raise a son and expect the OT to do it.

Thanks for the future gender neutral prog voter.

I have no idea why you would post this sans context. Most of the posts in this thread assume that your son merely failed to earn a roster spot on the team--which is not about life being unfair because it is only fair that the spots on the team go to the best available spot fillers.

But even assuming some really unfair crap happened in your son's life--like the loss of a mother to cancer or a car wreck, then

is not the answer. Best not start teaching him at 14 that alcohol is a solution to any life problem.

take him shooting? Let him beat an old tube TV with a bat?

These suggestions too are no good. Violence is not a good coping mechanism.

Best approach? A lesson in resilience. Don't let this snag break you, son. Get back up, brush yourself off, and get back on the horse.

Life can indeed be unfair and cruel. You must teach your children to be resilient, to be perseverant, to be dogged. If they fail, they must attempt to learn from the experience, then press on, fight on to the next opportunity. There is nothing else. That is the only way to achieve anything in this world.

Drinking surely won't resolve the issue. You are running away from any possible solution

Tell him the character of a man is defined by how well he handled adversity

He can man up and work through it or wallow in self pity like a bitch

Exactly. OP and OP follow up is the vaguest of vague.

Page 5 and still nothing about what actually happened.

OP deserves a stint in banland to think about what he's done.

You really have to go drown your sorrows day drinking because of some sort of sports team decision regarding your 14 year old?

You started a thread asking for advice with a situation but refuse to let anyone know what the situation is so nobody can give you advice.

So this is one of two things:

1) A pathetic attempt at getting attention. (Congrats, you got it)

2) A pathetic way to ask advice on parenting



Oh and

isnt good parenting whether you have good advice or not

It’s my 9/80 day off, just having lunch at TBT...

There really have been some good posts recently...

Guess I’ll go see what I can do.

But, that's a nice spot for day drinking regardless how silly the reason may be.

YA has a good point. Dude, no 14-year old is going to listen to you about anything if you can't cope with it yourself. You're suggesting to give a 14-year old a beer because you think having a drink during regular working hours is an okay way to deal with shite. Seriously. What kind of parent are you?

Coping skills; resilience. These are the tools your son needs. Hope you can find someone who can teach them to you and your son.
