Could it be that the bags were not handed out at state because they all compete at different times? Making it difficult for that particular parent to hand bags out. Not saying it's okay but maybe it's unavoidable to be handed out at practice.

I agree with this times a 1000! My DD had a rough lvl 4 yr. I can certainly understand the OP's mention of meets being so draining. Our problem was more age group though. Its a very tough age group, 9.225 would be good enough for 10th on beam. My DD missed placing by .05 3 times this year...

As a parent I say my nerves have gone up as dd has progressed through the lvls. Lvl 3 was rough and lvl 4 has its own challenges.

It happens and at times plans change and even though they didn't mean to judge their team. Sometimes it's unavoidable. We had a situation where we were entered into a meet and had to change to a different meet and one of our coaches was judging. Didn't plan it that way but things pop up. I...

I'd like an invite. We have started eating healthy and I've lost 22 lbs and 2 belt loops. I'd love to hear ideas from everyone and learn even more about eating healthy

I thought the question mark made it a question. Lol Sorry couldn't resist, but totally get you

I live in Indy. Any hotel downtown is close to the covention center. Indy is one of the most walkable cities. Check out the Hyatt regency its super close and attached to the mall circle center. For something unique check out the crown plaza. It's in an old train station. Pretty cool

Is anyone else offended as I am on the word troll? It seems like a form of labeling to me. Which is offensive. #sarcasm. Lol Basically when a troll arises don't feed them. Key to life being simple on message boards. Although I would state that just because someone doesn't agree with a...

I agree and let the kid choose. Although kids need to be kids. If he wants to hang out and go to camp let him. Going to camp as a kid is part of the experience of being a kid. Kids think it's awesome being away from mom and dad for that long. I remember camps I went on when I was younger...

We have a booster club and we have fundraisers. It's not mandatory and it's for stuff you use. Candles for Christmas, wrapping paper, all that stuff. It helps. What our booster club has found though is the people that need it don't do it. Kind of the same idea that was shared in the how to be a...

My only complaint with this is to chalk bucket for not having a love button. Because I love this idea

If you want ppl to attend....how about.... Free Beer and Cocktails Lol. In all seriousness... The people that really need it probably won't be there. So I like the mandatory thing.

If that particular gymie is being mean to everyone else it maybe something other than jealousy. If it was jealousy I would think it would only be pointed at the girls moving up. Maybe something going on with the other parents and that's why you feel that disconnect. I think sometimes people...

My view on homework is they should have none. If teachers can't teach the kids simple math and language in 7 hrs each day. then why would I as a parent be able to teach it in 1/2-hour a nite? I get projects. But homework is absurd.

@Iwannabemargo i was just giving a little humor. Lol

Dont forget to pay your TPO dues if you are reading this you r a cgm watching practice. 4 a good time practice your bar skills with me at (enter local watering hole here) Hey let's each other's kids get involved in fundraising, so we can just swap money around and act like we are helping...

I see a breakdown on both sides. The coach should of had her get a bandaid. And you shouldn't talk to your dd during practice. What happens when rips happen? Injuries while unfortunate happen in this sport. A door hitting a foot is not the worst injury they have ever seen. I wouldn't question...

It's nice they are giving big picture stuff. We had no clue what we were getting into on the team side. We had no friends that had kids in gymnastics so we really didn't even know what it was all about. It was only before competition season began when I found this community. Looks like you...

one thing I get hung up on in this scenario is the other child moving to other sports every year or two. Kudos to them for trying to find a sport that fits. Odd that op kinda looks down on that

I don't mean this in a negative way but here is my 2 cents. When we started gymnastics we had no idea the differences of levels or anything. All we knew is that they flip n stuff. I didn't know what talent looked like and had no idea of the length ppl go to get on team. When you want to...
