It is so easy for parents to lose their way. You have to ask yourself are you pushing your kid for your ego or is the drive coming from your kid? Fortunately my kids have moved to higher education so I can serve my own ego. Is the child getting anything of value from the experience? I feel like if I were in monster's shoes I would have been good with my kid walking away, since to me staying is supporting a broken system. Obviously monster sees it differently, probably as a perseverance lesson. I persevered in wrestling as a kid and know I gained little from the experience. I have a natural tendency to stick with broken things so my sports lesson was sorta backwards.

Maybe, but I'm thinking if the boy stays she has a perfectly credible alibi... Uh, I mean reason, yeah reason, for staying near the coach.
Lurking... watching... looking for that flash of bare throat... Then leap


to ask about the new programs... yeah that's it, programs.

If you want to beat your kid hope you live in Okeechobee County Florida where the sheriff will send a deputy to make sure you don't break any laws.
I shit you not.

I spank my kids, and I have no worries about breaking the law. Do you have a problem with that?
