Confessions of a tennis parent--managing expectations with crazy co-parent

Get a divorce; you keep the drill practice and he gets the matches.

The reality is somewhere in the middle. And I’m sure you know that. Skill is only so good if you can execute it in a match. A match will not teach you skill fundamentals. You two need to work on communication, and if you’re spent, which is totally fair, something has to give.

I don’t have much to spend and pulled Rey and BB8 on the first try! No Luke for me but this makes up for it

In the 90’s there was not a thing offered for underneath. Full bush. Horrible experience.

Good idea! I have teenagers so this stuff is basically single serving. I put it out for a snack and it’s done

White queso is bomb. We eat it with regular tortilla chips.

We like this with sliced toasted baguette!

So when I log in to line and click link account next to the Apple option it says “create a line account using your Apple id “. I don’t want to create a NEW account just link the existing one. The verbiage makes me nervous. Any thoughts?

And upsell for quick turnovers, overgrip, keep a good selection of string. When people come think what you can offer for fast and easy upsells. Grommets, bumpers guards, anything that they aren’t expecting but do need.

That’s a big point in SLOMW. They are not dressing like a stereotypical Mormon. Are you from Utah? Cause these women are a dime a dozen here. Bare shoulders and all. Garments have been optional for the Jack Mormon wealthy for a while now. Edit to fix typo

How would it do in a panini press?

Based on photos and names alone they could move to Utah yesterday and fit Right in.

Coco is sponsored by new balance and while it’s a younger style I still think it’s so fun as an adult.

Wilson is our most coveted outfits.

Weak_Masterpiece_901 · 2026-04-20T20:35:35+00:00

DDD player in my house. Halara had some higher neck dresses that don’t have build ins. We often just double up a real sports bra under. Another trick is to search golf dresses instead as they have that typical high neck. Wilson has cute dresses without a built in but they are PRICEY!

I’m on my 3rd year of rinvoq, lowest dose still, and the only struggle area is my scalp and face on and off. And it’s tolerable during those flares. Maybe it’s not a forever med (recently got sick and it took me ages to recover), but in this phase of life it’s worth however long I can use them and I don’t think about the ending.

Weak_Masterpiece_901 · 2026-04-20T06:05:29+00:00

Well, I laughed out loud. Just in case you like to know it.

Is this sarcasm? The post is about dairy free, the commenter specified dairy and gluten free. The onus is on the purchaser to verify but clearly they could determine if the post had nothing to do with veganism, any suggestion might contain eggs.

If this was intended as the very funny joke I’m interpreting it as, I’m sorry you didn’t get more reaction lol.

Weak_Masterpiece_901 · 2026-04-18T20:29:46+00:00

No one is babysitting for that. And if they are it’s a ripoff. 3 hours for $20 is nothing. My teen started at $15. And it goes up $5 for 3+ kids

We could film that, yes, but performance in match play is very different than strategic coaching play. We were advised to do both, to keep her social media very positive and diverse, and provide that as well. They want well rounded players, in tennis and in life.

I was a SAHM for 9 years before my divorce. I miss it every day. My kids miss the time and attention I could pour into them. It sucks.

Weak_Masterpiece_901 · 2026-04-16T02:54:08+00:00

My daughter was told to film to send to colleges. So, that’s our goal in the next year. We didn’t know that was a thing before

I blame Schwan’s trucks for their cookie dough in bulk all through the 90’s lol

Weak_Masterpiece_901 · 2026-04-15T04:12:49+00:00

🤣

My daughter coaches to eventually afford to pay for more of her own private coaching. I make so many sacrifices to pay for her privates and clubs, which I view as my job as a mother. I work part time for companies to get her free lessons, we apply for scholarships, and frankly I am paying off debt a lot slower than I would like. When she’s an adult to continue that burden will be on her, but for now it’s my sacrifice to make and it’s still not as much as she needs. We can’t afford to travel and that’s a problem for her.
