They need to be responsible to begin and end on time. It's truly ridiculous how so many parents abdicate their own responsibility to coaches. You did the rught things by getting your kids. I'd do it whether or not it's raining. The coaches will continue to go late as long as they are allowed. How would they like it if you dropped the kids off late? I guarantee they wouldn't like it at all and you'd probably here about it. Besides, whatever happened to kids just playing on their own with their friends in the yard?

I mean, they put themselves out there...for free! Now, if this was a paid position, it would be entirely different. I think you’re being hard on the coach.

Our coach always starts and ends on time. It's just he thinks they're in Olympic training DURING practice. I mean, the kids are FOUR! I have enough stress just getting them to and from practice.

I inflict enough pain on myself as it is. Now THAT (soccer coach) is something I would NEVER want to do. I inflict enough pain on myself as it is.

However, I am already THAT mother. The one who is a Nazi with things beginning and ending on time. ESPECIALLY when I have a bun...errr...chicken in the oven!
