This is purely just out of curiousity, I can't post on the Parent's forum so I'll post it here. The thread about if you stay if you have a commute sparked a question of my own.
I totally get why you stay if you have a preschooler or 1 hour rec. kid or have a long commute or sometimes when you just want to watch but why do you stay for long team practices? The whole time and everyday? I'm really wondering as it seems we have a lot of level 4/5 parents that stay the entire 3 hour practice 4 times a week that live close. No big deal we have the viewing space just not the parking space. I just think it is kind of odd. I am not a parent and my parents could not wait to drop my butt off at activities when I was a kid but it seems like it might get really boring.
