So, I don't get it. I went for a walk tonight, and my route took me by the park in my neighborhood. At that time of day, during this time of year, there are lots of children in the park, practicing soccer. They mark off the field and goal with cones. The cars line the park. As I went by the cars, in almost every other car, a mom or a mom and her friend were sitting: texting, talking, but not watching their children. It was a little warm out, and the park does not have benches where the children practice, but there were plenty of parents and siblings near the practice field supporting the soccer players. What's wrong with these moms? Don't they care how and what their children are doing?
I have to excuse one person. She was obviously studying from a text book. If she is the mother of small children, the time at soccer practice is probably the only quiet early evening time she has to study. I get that.
But the other mothers? Get involved! You could have paid a taxi to take your child to and from soccer practice.
