What makes soccer parents so nutty? I don't get it. I just can't take it any more. I can't even enjoy a game any more.

Agree with above poster. Don't sit with other parents. Be cordial, but keep your distance especially during games. I don't use a chair, prefer to stand anyway. Added bonus is I'm then mobile and can move away from people if needed. My kids play soccer, gymnastics, lax and baseball. Soccer parents are by far the worst.

My kids play/played soccer, baseball, basketball and some swimming. Parents were crazy in all these sports and are crazy at school stuff as well.
My experience is some of the wealthier communities are worse than middle class areas, but not always true.
I think things are just getting more competitive as foundations of community and extended families are breaking down.
Turn on the TV, there are competitive cooking shows featuring pre-teens. It's sick.
I'm not religious. But I'm starting to think people need to get out of the house and go to church more, at least in an attempt to connect with their neighbors.

The parents on my kids team think they know everything about soccer and are constantly critiquing the kids and making excuses for losses, etc. They count down time and remind their kids how much time is left. Joystick the kids around the field meanwhile kids are trying to think for themselves and listen to their coach. I can't imagine the pressure they are putting on their kids. Games are not enjoyable being around them.

we have one mom that loudly criticizes kids BY NAME to everyone around her. It's maddening, esp. because I wonder if the kids can hear her too.
