ILVBB,

Been there. At the end of the day, you are offering realistic, experienced counsel to the parent and the player. You've been through it with your sons and probably helped countless people on HSBBWeb. One of my favorite sayings in my professional life is that "Facts are stubborn things -- John Adams". Some people are just oblivious to the obvious.

This is the good ol' USA and people are free to do and raise their kids as they wish. As my parents used to tell me, "you don't get to choose your parents". Not to worry, their regret will come later.

PS...I didn't realize what great parents I had until I was about 25 years old. I'm guessing the opposite is also possible.. realize how a terrible some parents are at 25 years old.

Chive on!
