Social Media postings

[Guest]

Battle of wits? It's an expression, obviously went over your head. My apologies. Unfortunately I don't have the crayons to explain this to you.

My kid will marry someone with better genes? Ouch.

I envy people who have never met you. You are impossible to underestimate.

I keep reading this post, because you have to admit, this guy is funny.

^Tell me where the bad Instagram posts touched you!?^ this whole thing is BS! raise your kids. There are worse things on Instagram there is real child exploitation on the internet. you guys are talking about folks who really post things they are proud of that their kids are capable of... I really just read somebody talk **** to somebody who posts on insta for their family you guys are petty... No wonder your kids cant eat with a fork, or breathe with its mouth closed! Being real these kid work hard. and that makes us proud. if we are posting about our kids who have a nack for rocket surgery your would all stfu, but it is soccer and your kid sucks so you gotta hate... I understand,,, raise your kids.

I am just wondering what rocket surgery is :)

[Guest]

It is a play, Rocket Surgeon/Brain Scientist that is used in military all the time. "It isn't brain science" "well it isn't rocket surgery, private" etc.
I think it is funny though I am not bothered by it. I see it online and see it as a kids account, the kid is the showcase of the account. Behind the scenes why do we think it is some crusty perv running his/her kids account? It could be a person helping teach his kid to use social media. Maybe both of them are working through the editing/and things to say together. Could be a cool project just seems like too much work for me. Kudos to those who can get it done! I just don't see to many of you Washington youth soccer parents in that light. Seems to me a lot of you are giving a push, and adding some motivation. but the strict minority are toxic (not even 1 on every team). I couldn't believe these Instagram things/social media is just a bunch of posers living through their kids. I am sure it is sometimes but are we paying too much attention to a few accounts? What kind of people does that make us?

For that matter My own kids have asked me to start one for them. I don't have the time but if I did have time should I not start one because parents on this thread judges me? Also I am noticing all of the most talented kids in my sons age group have and maintain Instagram (and you can tell it is their parents running it) I am sure it is the case for your age group as well. Is that a problem? Maybe these parents not subscribing to the method you are prescribing know that it is a better way, or maybe they feel in conflict, maybe they feel that they need to run it to keep their kids safe or show them the ropes. I don't know. My kids do want one though and have no idea how to start/maintain/edit/tape for it. and I don't have the time... But I think I would do it if I did have the resources.

What could be the possible advantage of having a parent run a kids social media account? It's the kids account!

If your goal is for your child to become an influencer, great.

Otherwise, keep your kid off social media. If your kid needs to be on social media, teach them how to use it appropriately.

meanwhile.. yawn... you will be doin the lords good work shaming folks who are proud of their kids^

Seriously. One thing a quick skim through this thread has reminded me of....the biggest problems in this sport are the jealous parents who will be raising jealous kids. Everything else is in that shadow! Stop worrying so much about what other kids do. If it isn't designed to harm you or your dearest, please act like a real grown up.

Sincerely,

Why do you care? Do you have social media? Are you an "influencer"? Don't worry about everyone else's kid. Based on my age group, most of the talented kids have a social media managed by their parents. I think the odds are your concerns come from a place of jealousy.. That's weird! Stop that!

Same question to you. Why the fu6k do you care what I post on talking soccer? Are you the talking soccer police?

don't worry about other people posting on talking soccer!

my kid has a backbone, a life, and wouldn't dare let his mommy post on his behalf. He's not 4.

great logic. Do you wipe ds/dd's a55 for them still?

the original post asked for opinions. Because mine differs from your broke a55, only your opinion matters?

you are right, I'm jealous of a mommy posing as her 10 year old child posting on Instagram.

get a life douche.

Serious question. Why would your kid ask you to run their social media?

None of you 3 address any issue. Makes sense. You have nothing but ugliness. I'll address your issue. And you will continue to be ugly. My kids don't want me to "run their social media" they want an instagram with their highlights. They don't know the first thing about it and would like me to help figure it out... reasonable I think because I am the one with the access to any media that would go on it. These last 3 posts are from people who are just hateful. A lot of the top athletes in youth sports have instagrams ran/assisted by parents. You and I are the ones on the out and I don't have a problem. But somehow it makes you angry.

I like opinions and didn't crap on yours. Or the opinion of the people posting their kids on social media. Being that nobody on the end that is opposing the posts, and just offer anger I have to assume you are all the same poster. Or you really are hating/jealous that your kid isn't doing anything worth being proud of or your too lazy to help them so your outlet is to post angrily. That's cool for you! I don't have an instagram for my kids but don't see the problem. You should see somebody for you little problem. After that maybe try engage with people with some humility.

Do you read the posts you write? Does it make any sense to you?

So your kids aren't old enough to do their own posts- maybe that means they shouldn't be on Instagram. But you do it anyway, and your reasoning is because all the cool kids do it.

you have your entire life to be an idiot. Why not take today off?
