      Kelley Kitley, a licensed clinical social worker, adds that lawnmower parenting can also manifest as “pulling strings to get your child onto a certain sports team”, ”setting up a rigorous summer schedule that is all work and no play to get ahead” or “not allowing your child to choose activities they want to participate in or forcing them not to ‘quit’ if they no longer enjoy it”.

      “These parents think they are helping their children, but [they’re] robbing kids of the chance to face obstacles, [meaning] these kids don't get practice dealing with challenges and developing healthy expectations,” Rankin says. “Kids who receive the best of everything and don’t have opportunities to practice defeat will later struggle when coping with life's messy nature. Such children are also less likely to appreciate their good fortune; gratitude is a vital ingredient for happiness.”

        Oh, no doubt. If Mama-Admin wants to blow the Club Director she's more than welcome. Happens all the time. Of course, that means that Mama's kid is similar to Forest Gump on the pitch......

            Parents can't cope with their kid being told they are not good enough or need to do better. They come and bitch about people on these types of websites to justify their child's inadequacies.

              Agree with the worst parent admins being those who are really leveraging their "work" to get extra special treatment for their kid. Have witnessed at first hand and it is not good and causes real issues on teams. It is especially bad on higher level teams where many of the players are more than good enough to just go elsewhere once they realize they will never get the same treatment or opportunities the admion's kid gets.

              A good admin specifically goes out of their way to only set up the dinners, hotels, etc and who never tries to own the process, talk to the coaches or horde info.

                it is usually convenient when the team parent's kid is already at least in the top 3-4 on the team because then you know theyre playing because they deserve to. If the admin's kid is at the bottom, that sucks.

                  if the parent admin is doing all this work for zero $$$ there is no argument and they are entitled to perks....if you disagree, volunteer to be the parent admin for your own brat kids team...otherwise stfu!!!!

                    It's one thing if the parent admin is demanding perks as part of their volunteering. But if other people go out of their way on their own to be nice to the parent admin and their kid in appreciate of their hard work, I don't see the problem in that.

                      parent admins make or break teams. had one lady who was using the team fund to help her pay her debts and then tell parents that we weren't getting accepted into tournaments. Reported to club board and they ignored it. Took ages to get refunds, team fell apart and the admin blamed the coach when the team disintegrated.

                        You’re probably one of the worst admins.

                          "Entitled to perks"? Wow, another clueless hell raiser we got here. Decent people don't volunteer for "perks" and good people to expect their kid to be bumped ahead because they are the team admin. Healthy adults want their kids to get things because their kid actually earned it and deserves it.

                          Keep keeping it classy!

                            How much time to you devote to volunteering for the team? To be criticizing the folks that step up to do the thankless soccer volunteer tasks, I hope you are giving plenty of your time.

                              You are acting as if a kid getting to attend some extra practices is some game changing perk. You are being ridiculous. If the kid was undeservedly being picked for tournament teams or was otherwise displacing other kids from earned positions, you would have a point. But attending another teams practice? Get over yourself.

                                Adds up to a few hours a week, at most. Arranging for some travel, being a resource to answer dumb questions, maybe a meal or two. Passing the hate for a charity the club runs.

                                It's called "volunteer" for a reason. No expectation to get anything in return. Any extra trainings my kid is offered she is offered them based on merit.

                                Those who volunteer, then try to lay the guilt trip on everyone else are just martyrs. No need for them. You'd be better off just stepping aside if it makes you so irritable.
