Will high school soccer be cancelled/postponed?

[Unregistered]

I would support those studies. If they do not cancel, then I would also counter that they conduct studies of the psychological effects on kids that played, became infected and of course due to the ".00039%" chance of being seriously infected by COVID, then passed the virus onto parents and loved ones. We both know that the stats are not so favorable in that scenario, right? I get it, sports play a huge part in kid's lives, and this has been horrible. However, your child and mine are not going to play sports forever. This virus is real, and is teaching them a whole hell of a lot more about themselves and the real world than soccer.

So spare me your sanctimonious BS about the have and have not kids/families. My child is a have not in the grand scheme of things. But, he does have his health. He has both parents, and he is learning about character right now. Don't rely on sports to teach your kids about life and character, be a parent and do it yourself. This is the new normal, and amateur hour is over.

Yes! Families don't need to rely on sports. My kids have both been doing private training three times a week during the shut down and they are getting a lot better, even though it's costing me almost $1600 per month. We are having a small turf field installed next to our basketball court. It's important to mix in strength and speed with technical soccer training. My kids are getting better. My kids also eat healthy because we spend a ton buying high quality food. My wife is strict about food and invests way too much time and money. We get grass fed beef, organic vegetables , raw milk and fresh eggs delivered. My kids have never had fast food and we don't eat any processed food.

My wife has taken this shut down as an opportunity to get the kids enrolled in French, math and SAT prep classes online and they are locked into a schedule from 9am to 1pm. We have game night every Friday and as much as I think board games are boring we have a lot of fun and laugh a lot.

My wife see clients by video conferencing two hours a day, three times a week and is making more money now than she was before. She just raised her rates and slashed her costs. This gives her a lot of time to focus on the kids. I highly recommend it.

There are a lot of things that you too as a parent can do to replace sports. I am sick of the complaining. People are just lazy and want other people to raise their kids.

These are all good suggestions. During times of crisis we need to step up and be resilient. Work smarter and work less. Spend the time needed during the day to keep your kids engaged and off the mindless social media and video games. Online classes is a great idea. Be the teacher and set the example. Don't expect the government or sports coaches to lead your kid. That is bad parenting.

Interesting how you mention money a few times in your post. Do you think parents need a certain income level to be good parents, especially during the pandemic ? In my experiences and observations on planet earth a families level of income has nothing to do with quality parenting.

I grew up poor, very poor. However, my parents were great. I never had private training's but I had a dad who never played soccer that would play soccer with me everyday. No one enrolled me is special classes but my mom took me took me to the (get this) library and checked out books on the SAT and we studied them. Dad worked two jobs, mom one and they worked together to make it work for me. I miss those times, my parents loved me very much. It was never a struggle it was just family.

See, it's that easy. Increase your income while working less. Focus on keeping your kid off the xbox and snapchat. Entertain them yourself. Make sure they get the exercise they need to stave off depression. They don't need social interactions outside the home.

Easy peasy.

Please see the post above this one. The first thing it references is money. You can't buy your way out of parenting. Sorry

What if you are a single parent on one income and you have to work the front lines every day? What if you can barely stand up after working all day?

Sorry to be this person but you need to figure it out. Being a a parent is a big responsibility and your child comes first. Maybe a career change, maybe moving to where you have a better family support. It was a choice to have a child

Who are you crazy people? The person who wrote about their wife. Come on. That is a wonderful situation, but not everybody can cut their hours, work from home and make more money. And this has nothing to do with “they should go get a career change”, seriously?! How many people can change their careers to maybe get an ideal job opportunity for their family (again, Maybe get it) without extreme family time loss or debt to their family for 4-5 years???? This is more likely before or after kids are out of a household, unless the other parent makes a lot of money, but even then it is years of family time sacrifice.

The fact that no one responded to how absurd the writer was writing about his wife as if somehow a normal human being lives in that rarified situation, is really stupefying. It just means this is a blog for very financially well off people and they have no perspective.

Get a grip on reality please!
