So it is not really a secret that I am excitable. My DD is doing very well her first year of gym. The fact that she constantly asks me to "look into" this or that being a new gymmie herself. The great relationship we have built with her main coach and the owner's of the club. All has been so great, but I always felt that I was standing on the fence of being a Crazy Gym Mom (CGM) which apparently is a really really bad thing in some circles.
THEN this evening I went to prepay for January's tuition and as I walked into the office saw a mother of one of the new Recreation gymnasts having a very animated and heated conversation with one of the coaches. Apparently she was having a "fit" over being at the gym for three lessons (yes that is 1,2,3) and is VERY upset that her DD has not yet been taught how to do a back handspring!!!............ WHAAAAA???? I backed out of the office slowly and will go and pay January tuition tomorrow after I drop for open gym.
I post this only because I am SO relieved that I can say that I sometimes have to catch myself in the CGM pasture (I am disabled and have to be careful about living through my child-yes I know, very bad)........but though I admittedly climb into CGM territory I have never had to have the owner called to come to the gym and escort me out as this woman did. I guess a lot of us have tendencies but never really think about it till we are looking at a situation much like a mirror. Just a story I wanted to share is all.
