I'm struggling with this one, 2020. Why should we respect everyone's parenting?
Obviously you mean within reason, I'm sure -- but still. Think about how many REALLY AWFUL parents there are in this world. We have laws to protect children from bad parents, for goodness' sake!
By the same logic, I think it's incumbent on parents who've been there ... to point out where they think parents of ball players are wrong -- based on their experiences. When someone thinks I'm wrong about how I'm handling my son's baseball experience, I want to know it.
Then it's up to me to weigh that against my own experiences, beliefs, etc.
I think the wisdom of the parents on this site that have been there and done that is invaluable. I also think that several on here think that the way THEY chose to do it is the ONLY correct way to do it...and I think that is where 2020 is taking offense. It's like saying only party X knows how to run the government and only religion Y worships correctly....parenting has no manual and we are all likely screwing it up in some way, or have already.
