Last season I couldn't enjoy myself watching my daughter play ball because one of the other players dad complained in my ear all season about his daughter not getting enough playing time, his daughter is top three on the team, blah blah blah. I'm not one to talk about other kids but she was not at the same level as the rest of the team skill wise, not even close. If feel that as parents we need to pick our daughter up when they don't perform great but when the timing is appropriate, also let them know where they need to improve and offer to do extra practice at home to help them.
All this guy could do is gripe about the coach (who spent a ton of time with this girl to try to help her) I couldn't wait for the season to be over because I knew she would not be asked back. I've actually seen her roll her eyes when the coach was trying to help her swing (which was a golf swing) then after he was done working with her go to her dad and roll her eyes. Seriously! You're not helping your daughter the least bit by allowing this or by thinking she is better than what she is and feeding that to her. Being on a different team each year is a sure sign that you're the problem.
I keep my mouth shut and move to the outfield where if I can try to enjoy the game, but this guy always seems to find me. Not sure if other parents have experienced this, but my daughter has been with the same team since 10u and this is the first time having to deal with this.
