There are so many good reasons, including the kid not wanting them there, and it can be really hard to tell who is in the stands for which kid. I am remembering when my eldest wanted to do basketball, but stipulated that I NOT watch. Or when another one of my kids wanted to be on swim team but I had two toddlers and a baby to take care of; before he signed up, I warned him that I would not be available to come to the 4-hour meets. Thinking of other parents pitying my children makes me feel pretty cranky.Swistlehttp://www.swistle.comnoreply@blogger.com
