Nah, she’s away with one of my daughters at a dance competition.

Is your mom upset yet?

That’s why you’re posting! Your wife isn’t home….
My mom doesn’t know you exist. Your wife knows I upset you to the point where she tells you to stay off the site. Essentially, she knows I’m in your head, and you’re a .com pussy. You can yell at me, but she knows I’m in your head and get you bent out of shape. Why else would she tell you to stay off the site…? She knows you’re in a chess game, and your bitch ass sucks at checkers.

Lol, oh your mom knows I exist.

Haha! It’s questionable whether your mom even knows you exist.

It’s okay. Yours does.

Nah, she’s away with one of my daughters at a dance competition.

I see you and I are both “victims” of money pits. Boats and dance competitions.  My daughter was into dance for a period and we spent a fortune in new costumes and traveling to those wretched events.  Fortunately my daughter lost interest.

If she’s good more power to you.

For the record I was opposed to it, but man does she love it. I had hoped she would just do ballet at a studio, but she caught the competition bug and she is hooked. Now spring weekends are filled up trying to schedule travel to towns all around NC and SC. It’s just another travel sport and yes it eats money up. Factor in multiple kids and now life is crazy.

As a parent you understand though…

My daughter’s a bit of a lone wolf and doesn’t like being in cliques.  Now’s she’s and adult and found a hobby that she loves.  She’s heavy in to knitting and crocheting.  She inherited both of her grandmother’s appreciation for a traditional skill and she finds it very relaxing and she’s good at it.

Hey, if you find something you love you gotta go for it. So many people spend their lives trying to find something. She has that hobby for life.

I have another child who can’t find her place in the world and it is a struggle for her…she is trying though.

I’ve unleashed a monster in my son and he is a football/ rugby fanatic…sometimes to the point of absurdity. He loves it though.

I’m with you on that stuff. I’m in a hotel now because of a soccer tournament.

Coach? Family?

My daughter plays on a travel soccer team. I tried to avold it and didn’t raise the idea, but she brought it up on her own, so we wnt with it.

Where does your son play rugby?

Local club… goes from youth to adult but it is essentially travel also since there is only one group per town. It is just less expensive than the travel sports that feed into more mainstream high school sports.

He freaking loves it and now watches all the international matches on peacock. It is his spring football. A lot of the high school players play also on the older team. He looks up to them.

Just looks like smear the queer that I used to play as a kid but I am learning the rules. Lol.

It’s a great sport. I’m happy to see it starting to catch on, but a lot of places still don’t have it. There’s a comradery to it that’s really cool too. I understand on the rules. It doeslook like there are many.

I suspect it will take a similar trajectory as lacrosse has over the past 20 years. The idea that high school lax teams would exist in NC/SC when I was a kid was laughable. Now it is huge.

I think in 20 years Rugby might be in high schools as it is less head on contact than Football but still rough and tumble.
