Hey, we (other parents) are thrilled you're checking out our gym. We're a bit confused that you spent so much time looking through the glass belittling our children's skills and our coaches' technique. We get that it's a sport where people can get a little competitive, but we're people and you're talking about little girls. That one you said shouldn't be out there? Well, she just finished level 5, is skipping 6, and is now training for level 7, so you're right that she doesn't have all the skills yet. Her dad was 6 feet from you when you said that. That one you said was a wreck on bars? She won state three days ago. Her mom was 5 feet from you when you said that. Exactly who did you think the other people in the lobby were? Random people seeking shelter from the cold? Perhaps you noticed that wherever you went, we moved away. It wasn't the most polite thing we could have done, but most of us were actually trying to not engage with you for fear that we'd lash out in response to all of your comments about our little girls.
If you end up coming to our gym, we're the people you'll spend a lot of time with. We'll carpool with you, dine with you, hang out with you at meets, banquets, parties, etc. We all get along pretty well, and we'd like to get along with you, too. Changing gyms is stressful, so we'll give you a pass for now, but we'd really rather the relationship start off on a different foot.
