re: Tell the truth, do you ever hope your kid's team loses so you can get home?
Posted by jm_1776 on 4/29/25 at 10:28 am
I have a son and a daughter that play on competitive teams that play mostly on the weekends and we have parents like you on their teams. My advice to you is to just go and do whatever it is that you would rather be doing instead of "being there to show your support."
First off, for the others that actually enjoy being there, the constant whining is tiresome and pathetic. You're a grown up, or supposed to be, so act like it.
Most importantly, your kid knows you don't want to be there. So they either have to ignore the fact that their parent would rather be doing something other than being there or adopt the same attitude.
I understand that there is a huge commitment of time for these things, but you did sign up for it and could've played rec ball instead. And lastly, this stage of time for doing this type of thing is very temporary. Why not try and relish this time with your family?

re: Do you allow your kids to have screens in their rooms?

Trust your instincts and always over-communicate with them. They may not always like your reasons for why you do what you do but one day they'll understand.
I have a 14 and 11 year old and they have laptops for schoolwork and occasional browsing but not unfettered internet access. They also do not have screens in their room. My 14 got a phone last year but it has limitations and he only has access to it at certain times. We spend a lot of time together as a family and just remember that the time they would spend staring at a screen could be spent doing an infinite number of other things that are a better use of their time.
Raise your kids the way you want and tell the parents of other kids who may scoff at your parenting techniques to kiss your ash. You'll be glad you did.

re: Umpire Tonight Has Sucked Both Ways
Posted by jm_1776 on 3/16/25 at 6:42 am
sec umpires, much like their refs in football are just bad. I watch a lot of college baseball from all around the country and the sec has some of the worst. I guess officiating doesn't fall into the "it just means more" department.

Or you could accelerate recession by heightening inflation with stupid arse, tariffs, and firing cheap labor by sending all the immigrants back to their countries. That’s what this dumbass is doing. Y’all are lemmings…
So you believe the status quo from the prior administration is a better and more sustainable path moving forward? Constantly kicking the can down the road, printing and spending more money will only accelerate economic collapse. If the doge findings tell us anything, it's that the government has not only been spending recklessly, it is destroying our future through intentional theft.

He does it so that everyone can clearly see the absurd hypocrisy. And also so that the people that still watch these outlets can see him in his own words and not cherry picked edited clips that they can lie about what he says.

Can someone explain why is Rick Scott is so popular for some people. Maybe he has changed his position but he was pushing hard for red flag laws passed along with his buddy eyepatch McCain.

I don't see how the DNC last night captured even a single more vote than they already had. Not a single one. That was just a look at us, take it or leave it, internal celebration.
They know they don't need any more. Their plan is to steal this one too. How else can anyone explain putting KH on the ticket?
re: Best looking/working seat covers for heated/ventilated seats?

I've had Marathon seat covers for the last seven years. They're not cheap and take a few minutes to install but they fit great, are extremely durable and repel liquids.
re: Kids and tablets - out of control
Posted by jm_1776 on 8/11/24 at 5:37 pm
Keep fighting the good fight and never give in. Mine are 14 and 11 and have never had a phone or tablet. They're both extremely well rounded and they are both complimented constantly on how they behave and interact with others.
Some people make excuses as to why they give in but most parents are simply too lazy to not give in to their children's or societies' demands on what is "normal."

Grinds coffee pouches helped me quit Copenhagen after 20 years. Each pouch has about 1/4 the amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee.
re: EVERYTHING is about Fear
Posted by jm_1776 on 3/12/24 at 6:43 am
Kind of. It's about money and power. Those with power and money use fear to keep those with less at bay all while they lie, cheat and steal to obtain more money and power.
