These parents do get out of control, and in certain areas of the state it affects the kids a lot.
THIS darn HIPPIE GENERATION RAISES THEIR KIDS TO BE BABIES.
Kids are no longer tough anymore. You see it all the time on TV and other stuff, my life just stinks because i was raped, or abused, or daddy didn't love me. I am not saying that is not big time stuff,but...
back in the day people had to just get over it and lead normal lives. Now people get stuck in the past and won't move on with their lives, and expect pity and handouts for what happened to them.
People raise their kids with this mentality and they cannot take a but chewing like they could just a few years ago. If your kid is screwing around and doing drugs, they should not be on the team. That is a disease that will spread to other teammates and makes it very hard to reach some kids.
Coaches now have a hard ob of often being the only father these kids have, and mother. They will stay at theirhouse when their moms in rehab or dad is in jail, and they are not respected for the love they have for the kids.
I know that this is a little off topic but coaching is different nowadays and it can be frustrating to deal with parents that are like this.
