I totally feel like with the help of this forum, I have made huge strides this past year or so when it comes to handling my DD's on field performances. I try not to get too high or too low. If I feel my mouth about to open wide enough to fit my foot, I move to the outfield. With my parental growth, my DD has shown much improvement on the field. This is where the latest bout of daddyjackass syndrome came in. So far this fall, she has played great. Hasn't lost a game. Back to back no hitters in tourny championships. Hitting much better than last summer. This past weekend she has faced her toughest competition in a while. To say she struggled would depend on who you talked to. She allowed 1 run in two games. Sounds good, right? She had a couple more walks than she has in the past. Wasn't very sharp on her spots. Struggled getting a change up over the plate. I think she was 2-12 batting this weekend with a couple walks. Team went 5-0, and she picked up 2 wins. I was totally irritated since her last game. Grumpy with the wife and kids. Yelling at the dogs. The friggin Eagles lost yesterday. I can't shake this mood. I really think it is because my DD was not as "on" as she has been all fall. I really think I have a case of daddyjackass syndrome. I think the only cure may be to get back out a sit on a bucket for couple hours the next few days. Ridiculous, right?
