Soccer Parents
In Bill's post on Bill and Kent's Place on the Web he talks about parents, you either take the job seriously, or you have no business being a parent, period.
The eight points he mentioned all applied to my mother. He also says about attending games your children are in. My mother disliked rugby. She went to all the games of my brothers. She got involved when one brother's soccer team had no coach. She took on the role of coach with the help of a few library books on coaching and rules. That team won the cup that year. I'm proud of her.
