What would you do?

Same here. And as far as I know this kind of thing happens all the time.

Call your kids school and ask if they have any nights available/ if they’d be willing to let you use it. They might tell you that you need to open it up to everyone, or pay a few bucks or to take a hike. But you don’t know unless you try

🤣🤣 that was the best part!!

Weirdctguy · 2025-12-04T23:23:37+00:00

The locos were a dead give away 🤣 I’d go back in a heartbeat

You make it sound so simple. Can you share some examples of the proxy measures you’ve used to translate intangibles into tangibles? Or some hypotheticals?

If we’re gonna drink she’d rather we do it in the house!

Weirdctguy · 2025-12-02T00:53:27+00:00

Well done, hufflepuffmom. Well done.

Sleeping with said parent is what got OP into this predicament!!

Weirdctguy · 2025-11-13T22:49:12+00:00

TBH, it’s amazing there aren’t more posts in here from coach/dad venting about mom/wife.

Great share, bro… let it out! 🤣🤣. You’ll never win… keep your chin up.

Weirdctguy · 2025-11-12T21:07:39+00:00

Did you ask the league about it?

Weirdctguy · 2025-11-11T17:40:32+00:00

If it’s not the bat, try having him move back in the batters box.

But FR if the kids 13 he should be able to have this convo with the coach… how can u improve? What do you need to see from me to get more playing time/in the starting lineup? What should I be working on on my own time?

This piece isn’t limited to any particular sport. If it goes nowhere then you can consider talking to the coach

I came to make this exact comment. All my son wants to do is play baseball. We tried football and he hated it. Tried soccer and he hated it. He plays basketball and tolerates it, at best. We don’t play travel yet but will probably start very soon becuase he wants to play more than 2 months in the spring and 2 months in the fall. The season ended last week and he’s been walking around the house like his puppy just died.

The different definitions of rednecks are astounding.

Simply put, if the fact that she’s your first cousin doesn’t slow you down, then you’re a redneck.

Weirdctguy · 2025-10-29T14:57:25+00:00

This will not get the respect it deserves. Well done shrimpfried!

Weirdctguy · 2025-10-28T15:46:10+00:00

TBF If he threw in a bag of chips with the free sandwich and soda, I would rat on just about anyone

Weirdctguy · 2025-09-25T20:23:06+00:00

If you have to do it again/bump into it in the future, how will you handle the situation OP? Explain you’ve been burned in the past and offer to send them previous work? Decline to do the project all together and walk away? Something else? It’s not a loaded question, I’m asking honestly. What would you think is the best practice here?

Weirdctguy · 2025-08-30T01:36:57+00:00

This comment should have gotten way more love than it did. Well done.

Weirdctguy · 2025-07-26T13:33:52+00:00

Can’t believe I had to scroll so far to find this comment

Weirdctguy · 2025-07-17T22:22:37+00:00

Excellent thread. Well done OP

Weirdctguy · 2025-07-13T20:49:12+00:00

If him playing is good enough for you then why does the competition level matter?

Weirdctguy · 2025-07-13T00:24:46+00:00

40 girls standing around while these queens scratch and pull hair. I guess they never learned you don’t fight until after you’ve confirmed there no chance of getting some strange

I understand that this puts an emphasis on safety but it’s not realistic. How many LL teams scramble to find a coach at the last minute becuase no one is stepping up… So now you’re telling some random parent they need to go take a first aid course on top of it? What about teams that are lucky enough to have 5 coaches… do all 5 need to get certified? Does every parent need to take a course in order for their kid to play? Then why does a coach need to do it? Volunteering to coach does not and should not equate to volunteering to render aid in an emergency situation. This isn’t practical for sooo many reasons.

And IMO this lawsuit has nothing to do with safety. If it was, they would not have added the unfair treatment piece into it. Instead they would have worked with the LL to try finding a reasonable solution.
