Re: Haning Up My Hockey Parent Days

Fairly consistent minutes at a prep school is pretty high level man. Where’s you see him going? Hockey parents are psycho. Purposely not watching your kid play because he’s not on the PP for whatever reason is really bad parenting. Although I have a feeling he’s psyched you’re not there. So it’s probably working out for everyone.

Re: Haning Up My Hockey Parent Days

You are right, I am admitting I am the problem/crazy. I also agree that and hope that any current struggles he is having will most likely improve without him hoping I am pleased with how he did or anxious about any feedback. I was being as honest as possible in the feelings going through my head as I watch a game. There are tons of kids who will never get the oportunity my son has and there have also been a couple of big eye openers this year with some very serious accidents on the ice. you want the best for your kid but you cant force it and it can feel like you are failing them when you see crazy amount of comitments and other hype around. I truly appreciate all the feedback, there was lots of good stuff in the comments. Good or bad, I am totally fine with it.

Best thing I've read on here in a long time.

It does make me sad that you don't/can't watch your kid play. Time is fleeting. But I know you know that - sounds like you've given it a lot of thought. Best of luck to your boy and to you.
