Quality Time with the DD, being a bucket dad

Nothing can replace quality time you spend with your kid catching pitches.
warning,has one swear word.

I would be lying if I said I didn't feel that way many many times. Never said it though.
I spent a month building a beautiful fence along my property line. I finished it with a hand crafted lattice at the top of the fence. DD would set up facing the fence and I would have my back against it. Over the course of 2 years of learning to pitch she destroyed the entire section of lattice on the left side of the fence with her "wild" pitches. Today we look at it and laugh about those days. I refuse to replace it as it's a great memory we share.

Some time ago, I watched a 10U coach/dad show up early to his team practice to get some pitching in with his DD and another kid. He told her she was wasting his time by sucking, being worthless, not running hard enough during punishment laps, etc. I made my opinion clear to his league that I did not believe he was fit to work with kids.

Dan right! If that seven year old throws ONE MORE wild pitch she will be punished!!

This is certainly not the quality time that we are talking about sharing with our DDs.

Such a shame to see that video. I made many memories with DD. Not gonna lie...there were tears of frustration, pain, angst, disappointment along with cussing...especially before I got smart and started wearing shin guards. And our neighbors stopped talking to us after we destroyed the fence from wild pitches. Even Dh's attempts to patch the fence up didn't do any good. LOL. She is a junior this year, and clock is ticking...my heart clinches with every tick.

So that is the second ruined fence story, where ever you are both from your standard yard fences must be gigantic compared to ours out here. one of my dds wild atomic rise balls in her early years would have cleared the Berlin wall and most likely require FAA clearance
And just in case there is any question, that is not me in the video, although both my DDs will tend to disagree.lol

Reminds me, I need to stop by the lumber yard ASAP to buy some replacement boards for the neighbor's fence...

lol just did that last week myself the dd threw a wild one and split one of the fence boards in half. luckily he had an extra board cost me 3bucks. gotta figure out a tarp set up to save the fence.
