    I am a bad softball mom.

    "Is it wrong of me to hope that she does not get her letter and will have to watch all the freshman softball players waltz by with their new jackets this winter?" Yes

    How did you decide?

    DD was in Softball, Soccer and Figure Skating and doing well in all. But it was too much for my wallet and watch, even with my mom helping with getting DD to skating lessons. Her mom, my ex, was too busy doing her own things. I just told her she need to decide which sport to drop, which to do...

    Dating ads?

    I get ads for auto insurance, grocery stores and "Only you can prevent forest fires" from Smoky Bear. Might want to scrub your cookies and browsing history.

    What to do in CO between games

    Head for the mountains! Enjoy the beautiful drive up to Estes Park, play in the snow up on Trail Ridge drive in Rocky Mountain NP, have a burger at Penelopes in EP and browse the gift shops. Head back via the Peak to Peak scenic byway. PS. Not to burst anyone's bubble but "The Shining" was...

    Well I found it amusing.... ITB and opposition chanting during IBB

    A lot of work goes into dugout choreography at DD's University. And if a game is televised the sky's the limit. When they we're little I always told them to be "on the fence."

    Why the mask threads generate so much heat

    Don't forget that parents who don't put a mask on DD are stupid and neglectful.

    UGA corners wearing masks

    Is there a debate? Apparently the people who want to wear them are wearing them, even in the SEC.

    Giving the ball back?

    Kids at DDs games like to retrieve foul balls so they can go drop them in the ball-return-tube-thingee by the dugout.

    Very limited funds; question

    I saved some money by sending my DD with another girl to some tournaments, then returning the favor. Saved both families on the hotel bill and food portions of the trips. Just depends on how comfortable you are with that arrangement. DD and the other girl had played together for years (and...

    When do coaches start watching?

    DD's college coach says DD showed up on coach's radar during DD's freshman HS year, but no offer until junior year.

    First unofficial visit is on the calendar

    Let DD do most of the talking and asking. Time for parents to fade into the woodwork for the most part.

    college choice-softball coaching beliefs

    DD's college coach changed DD's offensive role and her batting style, as well as her defensive position. And I don't care because DD's been a starter since freshman year.

    Was I wrong?

    Player, Coach, Ump, or Fan. Choose one only.

    How do you not live vicariously through your kid?

    How do you tell? We all love our DDs and wish them success. We all are competitive and passionate about the game, but: Are you following DD's plans and passions, or is she following yours? Do you have your own interests and accomplishments, or are your personal feelings of self-worth...

    Switching Throwing from Lefty to Righty

    Me too. I tune out when I hear that. My DD is a natural lefty and it never crossed my mind to have here try to throw RH. Leave her be and work on her natural throwing, fielding and hitting. Perhaps if her hitting is really good she'll make 1B over the slow girls, whom I assume are on the...

    What NOT to name your team

    There is a team in our area called the "Hummers."

    Softball Glove Closes Wrong???

    We told the girls that their glove should look like a burrito, not a taco, so always keep a ball in it. Might be time to shop for a new glove if that one has developed hinges in the wrong spots.

    Highest level of travel ball

    I would concur. College coaches are thick on the ground in Boulder. You want DD to be seen, try to get her there.
