I did not get to go to the game tonight because KR had gymnastics, anyway at every game the batting coach subs in and out my two kids, they are the only kids who are subed in and out, (okay they are five years old, they play well, my sons always hit the ball well and have gotten several outs when they are in the outfield) So Dh gets there with the kids and sees the batting lineup he walks up to the batting coach and says to her " You never start both the boys, you always have them out of the game and you pull D to put JM in, you never sub any of the other kids it is always mine, they will never learn the game if you do not have them play. her response, well it just seems fair because you have two playing, this way you always have one child in. Okay what a freaking idiot. the team has eleven players, they can have ten boys playing at one time, so because we have two boys playing one of them will always be subbed. I do not think So. I think mom needs to make a phone call prior to Thursdays game. Okay vent over.

I agree, that's just uncalled for. Either there are other parents in there saying their kids need playing time or yours are being singled out. Honestly they are FIVE YEARS OLD, how are they supposed to develop in the game if they never play????? Sounds like phone calls need to be placed, that's just wrong. Equal time should be given to each player. In all seriousness, this could hurt them later on. They could loose the passion for the game because they are always benched. Make those phone calls. You are right in thinking this isn't fair.

I will be at Thursdays game and if my either of my boys are pulled from the game it is going to get ugly, and I made that phone call.

I think that is ridiculous. Your boys are individuals, each their own person and should be treated as such. Just because they are brothers should not mean they have to take turns. ALL the players on the team should be taking turns and not just your sons. If the coach does not see this then you should attend a league meeting, if possible, and have it discussed there.

I got it taken care of I was "that" mom but I had to be in order to make sure my boys were treated like individuals and not like the same person

I can understand why that would upset you? Not fair that it is always your two, not fair at all! Some people have a weird type of logic that just doesn't stand up to any kind of scrutiny! xxx

I agree, they were treating the two boys like they were one. Which was not right to them
