[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 594768, member: 14557"] If there will be a Loser Table I will be more than happy to stay there (and not move.) With difficult child's agegroup we certainly had most fun in Loser Table, well in cynical, disdaining way at least. But I'm not sure if there is a loser table with easy child's age group. What I know, there is two 'officially lively' (read: have been in trouble during camps or tournaments or in serious trouble in their club teams) boys. Another one is a bit of fringe player to this program and has been cut (he is likely the one whose cutting gave a spot to easy child) and according rumours other one doesn't have 'strong and involved' family. I don't know if he really is from more than averagely dysfunctional family or if his parents have just decided that they don't feel driving few hundred miles just so they can be looked down the nose at. But anyway they apparently don't usually come. Too obvious daydreaming would look either 'uninvolved' or snooty and I don't want to appear especially latter one. I'm often little quiet first and more of an observer and I'm also tall and I have to be careful not to appear snooty or haughty (I don't know what the heck being tall has to do with anything, but it is reason people have given me when they have told they were surprised I was nice and not snooty like they first thought when they saw me. Apparently they think I'm looking down on them or something.) Our boys are already at the level there their talent is more or less officially evaluated and boys already have professional agents so everyone actually knows quite well there their son currently is. Of course they are still young and things change quickly. And of course there is some truth that these different tiers tend to lead very different careers and next few years in sport so I do get that especially parents of the stars feel the need to get to know other families in same situation. My difficult child's issues do keep him back, but even with him, he is living very strange and different live compared to kids of our friends. If he had less issues and would had been able to capitalise his talent better, he could be living in incredibly strange world by now. I have to say that only people I know who also deal with those issues sport causes are the ones I got to know in those very boring meetings. So I do see also a point of these meetings. But I don't have to like going to them :winking: [/QUOTE]
