More of the 'me me me' culture... and people with far too much time  and money on their hands ?

 - Like these idiots who dress their dogs up, treat them like babies,  and parade them around ?  Truly pathetic. FFS .. get a life.

Not sure if it was the same program Steve but I saw something like that and came to the same conclusion as you. To a certain extent, I think kids should be allowed to be kids and play with their friends.

I agree. That should apply to all activities. It should be based on what the child's interest is and how much they want to participate. Not on the parents.

Well, I would say that depends on the activity.  It is one think to give your young kid a little kick in the butt to try something new like a sport or drama class, etc.  It is quite a different thing to force your young kid to try out for a beauty pageant.  That is obviously about the parent, not the kid.

I concur.

Same thing when attending an organized children's baseball, basketball, volleyball or soccer game.  I never watch the game.  My concentration is observing the parents shouting and screaming at their kids.  Gone are the days when the kids would walk to the park and just play with whomever was present.  They agreed to the rules as the game progressed.

Growing up I was interested in sports. Baseball, basketball, etc. I played on summer leagues and school teams. Not once did my parents attend a game. My participation was driven solely by my interest in playing those sports. I don't recall there was any problem back then with parents.

Yes, but that was way back when those sports were first invented.  Your parents probably didn't know anything about them.  :hystery:
