Seriously. Laurie Laughlin paid $500k and went to jail just to keep her daughter out of that shit hole.Mad_Son said:

I grew up on racist, sexist, homophobic, jingoistic Warner Brothers cartoons packed with gratuitous violence
Combat, Rat Patrol and other violent WW2 sagas
Watched America burn on the nightly news through the 60's and watched our boys being carried out of the jungle with Walter Cronkite
And look at me -

Kids take up LaCrosse in the spring these days because they sucked at Baseball and weren't fast enough to run track. Most of the kids that play the sport in my area tend to be over privileged white kids who aren't very athletic.TurdBomber said:Baseball dads are awful. I hear Hockey dads are even worse. Soccer parents of all genders are generally too stupid for their own good, and LaCrosse parents? I don't know many. By design. But the few I do know are completely fucking insufferable and can't admit they took up LaCrosse because it's the the only sport white enough for Jimmy to get playing time on the field in.

I’m thankful I never had a Christmas letter phase. God I hate those. I see less of them now because people can brag on social media everyday of the year.creepycoug said:
We actually didn't send out cards this year, and when we do, no letter.YellowSnow said:
I just hope @creepycoug you aren't the kind of man who includes a letter with the Feliz Navidad card bragging about the kids. The non-aggression pact of 2017 might become null and void.creepycoug said:
My kid - the one who liked this show - graduated last spring with a double major in physics and astro.BayDawg said:
I still have nightmares about those creepy fucks. My daughters played that show on loop. And my oldest is graduating this spring with a double major in physics and environmental science. Creep's right, it really doesn't matter all that much.creepycoug said:
I have three. The one who just got accepted into a PhD program for maff watched Teletubbies and loved it. Teletubbies. If you ever watched 2 minutes of that shit you'd know what I mean. Spooky weird. This one:UW_Doog_Bot said:
Screen time even my wife the pro uses. We try to keep it limited but it makes it that much more effective when she does get it.YellowSnow said:Any parent that has a screen time prohibition is FS. We'd be divorced already if it wasn't for the miracle of TV babysitter.
She managed to survive.
Creepy Tim advice for the day: don't try too hard with your kids. It won't really make that much of a difference either way. They are resilient af and will survive and thrive despite your worst parental mistakes; and they're not going to MIT or playing for the DAWGS! if their DNA coding doesn't say so. Life's beautiful and life's a bitch. Boffe.
Maybe the teletubbies thing was good somehow? Who knew?
The whole enterprise has become quite stupid. I don't have a social media presence of any kind either. I'm old school. You either know me or you don't. -
After reading some of this, it's safe to say, I will never have kids....Life is so simple in the basement

So for Grumble, 100% true story from a NYE party last night. Ran in to a couple we used to be close friends with but have rarely seen in the past ~3 years. Their daughter and our daughter also used to be close friends but drifted apart. They are still in the same grade at the same school, HS freshmen this year. No hard feelings, just kids being kids. Their kid went with lacrosse as her sport. We've heard she's pretty good, and her older sister and cousins also played it.
Asking the dad how much he golfs, cause we used to golf together, he says he hasn't played golf in 3 years. Always something with LAX on the weekend. Complaining about tournaments in the Carolinas and other places. Said he just booked $1500 in hotel rooms for 3 big tournaments in the summer and had to do that now because the costs are even worse closer to it.
I'm just like, oh man, that stinks, we only had 2 of those for tennis this past year.
Then he proceeds to show me a recruiting video made for the girl which is on YouTube. Showing highlights of her in tournaments. The girl just turned 15 years old and has not played a single minute of high school varsity LAX since it is a spring sport.
If that is the girl's passion and she loves it, ok, cool, that's really awesome she found it and has the talent and her family has the means to support it. A recruiting video prior to your freshman season??? Come the fuck on, that's all on the parents. -

About once year I make this rant. Look at the sports that are on the decline in HS. They tend to be un PC and require the most mental toughness. Football, wrestling, baseball. Lots of failure, lots of tough stretches. No one wants to deal with that. Now look at the sports that are on the rise. They tend to be sports where you can hide and nobody really knows if you failed. Run around for awhile, slide on the ground a couple times and Gramma thinks you did great. Soccer, LaCrosse. I coached HS baseball and football for 15 years. I never saw anyone eat an orange wedge. Ever.
This country is steadily becoming France.

I'm just like, oh man, that stinks, we only had 2 of those for tennis this past year.
Then he proceeds to show me a recruiting video made for the girl which is on YouTube. Showing highlights of her in tournaments. The girl just turned 15 years old and has not played a single minute of high school varsity LAX since it is a spring sport.
If that is the girl's passion and she loves it, ok, cool, that's really awesome she found it and has the talent and her family has the means to support it. A recruiting video prior to your freshman season??? Come the fuck on, that's all on the parents.
Row boat is the best HS sport of all time. I wish I did it. 5 or 6 races in spring. A few in the fall. That’s it. No recruiting videos. Put a good 2 k score on record and call it good. Physics is physics.
The one problem with row boat is the amount of infrastructure and support required for it.
About once year I make this rant. Look at the sports that are on the decline in HS. They tend to be un PC and require the most mental toughness. Football, wrestling, baseball. Lots of failure, lots of tough stretches. No one wants to deal with that. Now look at the sports that are on the rise. They tend to be sports where you can hide and nobody really knows if you failed. Run around for awhile, slide on the ground a couple times and Gramma thinks you did great. Soccer, LaCrosse. I coached HS baseball and football for 15 years. I never saw anyone eat an orange wedge. Ever.
This country is steadily becoming France.
Otherwise, agree.
And I was talking about chinfrastructure. -
Soccer is an easy sport to play when young, but the coaches demand to specialize in it later on and those select teams and camps are really expensive. Anybody playing soccer after about 12 is paying big money.GrundleStiltzkin said:

We've heard she's pretty good, and her older sister and cousins also played it.
Asking the dad how much he golfs, cause we used to golf together, he says he hasn't played golf in 3 years. Always something with LAX on the weekend. Complaining about tournaments in the Carolinas and other places. Said he just booked $1500 in hotel rooms for 3 big tournaments in the summer and had to do that now because the costs are even worse closer to it.

The oranges get flack here, but we even ate them in high school at halftime in high school football. They were a staple that didn’t really matter what level you were playing at.

Soccer and basketball being the first culprits. Then when the kid washes out of those sports, LAX travel teams.

Normally I love ourº meandering threads, but ditching the subject of engorged breasts in favor of youth soccer is a new bored low.

I'm sure your right. I know nothing about LaCrosse. I just know its thriving at baseball's expense. I assumed it was like soccer.GrundleStiltzkin said:
