[QUOTE="Star*, post: 263355, member: 4964"] Dude would NEVER participate in sports. His biofather told him that sports were for sissies and XXXs. When he got a little older - I bought a ball, bat, and glove for him - NOPE - turned it into a huge ordeal that I didn't throw the ball RIGHT to him or that his glove was too big, or the bat was too thing, I threw it too fast... Then I thought - football - Bigger - able to hold on to better - nope - threw it once - hit his nose - NOW I'm trying to kill him. Wiffle ball? - Lighter bat, lighter ball - less to get hurt from - and then the whiffle ball was stupid and not like real baseball - (blinking I stood in the yard thinking - but baseball was ....oh crud never mind) Took him with me to Karate class and let him sign up for beginners class. The sensi finally came to me and shook his head and said - no. I politely bowed out of further classes for myself - and DUde used the Karate outfit for pajamas and told everyone he could kill them - ugh. Dodge ball, - HUGE MISTAKE to take an ODD kid to dodge ball - it's like a blood sport......and he was OUT to get anyone in the face with a big, red, round, air filled projectile missle. Running? OMG do we have to jog this is killing me - I am dying, I am out of breath, I can't breath - you're killing me moooooom. Tether ball? - WEll that lasted one turn.......I'm taller, this is not fair, you have advantage - I played on my knees - he came back - then I LET him win -OMG are you kidding I'm on my knees here kid. Volley Ball? Stood there - then said this was just dumb - Basketball - He tried this - and the first time someone took the ball from him he ran after them, jerked them by their shirt, threw them to the ground and threatened to kill them if they did THAT again - when HE has the ball it's HIS......GRRRrrrrrrrrrr...... Riding a bike? Loves it - he's alone. RIding a 4 wheeler? Loves it - he's alone. Walking in the woods? Loves it - FIshing - loves it - again - alone. But contact sports or anything where there is a team? NOT GONNA HAPPEN. When he went to the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) - they had organized team sports and a ropes course - he did VERY well in that - got elected captain and made sure his team was first place. He's very clever and figured things out faster than the others - then the other teams copied him and THAT peeved him off. As if ropes course was ALL his doing......omg.... So yeah - I hear ya. I would have loved to have had a picture of him playing popwarner football or baseball or tball or something - anything -even though he was great at chess - he hated loosing. Now he may play - but he's so much better than me and it makes ME angry. lol. [/QUOTE]
