[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 520459, member: 3907"] If I had a nickel for every Stage Mom or Sports Dad (or Stage Dad and Sports Mom, for that matter) I've run into over the years I wouldn't need to win the Megamillions draw. Sigh... This is what happens when parents try to live their dreams vicariously through their children. I remember years ago in Little easy child's first season of basketball, there was a shy, willowy little boy who used to wander around the sidelines and who would cringe anytime the ball came near him. I was chatting with his mom one morning. In addition to grumping at me for being the mom of the "kid who's scoring all the baskets", she said that she always dreamed of having a child who was a jock, kept enrolling her little lad into sports of all kinds, and wouldn't even let him try music or art or any other activities. I'm sure that little boy will have plenty to talk about with his therapist later. Duckie has a wonderful attitude, and it will help her to deal with whatever stage moms and jealous girls she encounters as she goes on. [/QUOTE]
