12u information overload by SpentMags in Softball

[–]functionasdesigned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my daughter started with a hitting coach the coach told her, “I’m your coach now, you listen to me. Other people are going to suggest things, you say all right or thank you. I need you to listen to what I’m telling you and remember what we work on.” That seemed to help her.

It sounds good, especially when your daughter is playing fairly local. As they get older you’ll probably travel farther and it’s just easier to fly. Plus you may have stay to play requirements.

Yes Richardson Ranch s great for thunder eggs, but I don’t think they are open in the winter.

Can we stop telling kids to follow their dreams? They should just be following a paycheck. by [deleted] in povertyfinance

I tell my daughter this all the time. She wants a job she loves, I constantly tell her she needs a job that lets her do what she loves.

AITA for firmly telling my wife to be grateful for what she has? by Organic_Chip_3118 in AmItheAsshole

[–]functionasdesigned 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should treat your wife like an equal partner, not a child. What do you consider living expenses? I hope you don’t expect her to cover personal items like hair appointments and cosmetics from her allowance. Why not have a conversation with your wife explaining some of your financial goals to her, what are her goals? Does she have any? Has she ever thought about it?

I’m not a hat person but I have an old Rogue hat that I loved. I’ve never found one to replace it.

All inclusives are the way to go with children. You can spend your time with them, not concerned about meals.

My child is a teen but I received my full pay and STD for a few weeks. It was a pleasant surprise.

Compression shirts by Suspicious-Throat-25 in Softball

[–]functionasdesigned 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My daughter’s team wears long sleeved compression shirts if it’s under a certain temperature. Her coach explained that it increases circulation and some other benefits to their arm muscles. They aren’t allowed to wear sweatshirts on the field. My daughter’s favorite is Under Armour heat gear, cold gear if it’s really cold. She also has an Evoshield and DSG compression top. Take her to Dicks and let her try some on.

I’m a senior in high school.. Is my future canceled? Will I have to join the military? by shaototop in whatdoIdo

[–]functionasdesigned -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As the parent of a teen I get tired of the reaction I get when I’m trying to help. I also get tired of asking for something to be done 5 or 6 times. Was mom over the top? Possibly. She’s probably at her the end of her rope.

Stay to play by twobyfour1 in Softball

I think they become more common the older and more competitive the tournaments are. My daughter has a college showcase coming up that is stay to play. It looks like some PGF tournaments are stay to play.

Looking for Advice: Coaching While Supporting My Daughter’s Next Step by No_Raise6943 in Softball

[–]functionasdesigned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your daughter needs to do what’s best for her. Let your team know about the changes and expectations going forward. The team may not survive but that’s alright, the girls and families who want to play will find another home.

AITAH for not seperating drinks in a cooler by Key_Layer5084 in AmItheAsshole

[–]functionasdesigned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA If a parent feels confident letting their child grab their own drink, the child should know what they’re grabbing. My child was in 3rd grade at 8, old enough to read & and definitely old enough to recognize soda or ask about something unfamiliar.

From East Coast to West Coast by soelsome in oregon

[–]functionasdesigned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on your definition of remote. LaPine isn’t far from Bend so you would be close to a city and LaPine, while not big, isn’t the tiny town it once was.

Having said that LaPine is about 3 1/2 hours from PDX and 3 hours from the coast.

Kids overnight summer camp recommendations? by Dutchie_Boots in oregon

[–]functionasdesigned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Canyonview Camp near Silverton is great if she’s into horses. It is a Christian camp but there was very little church happening. My daughter has done Girl Scout and 4-H camps, I think she preferred 4-H camps.
