Are you ready for some football?

Went to my 's football game last night, I was super excited. I've missed all of his other games because of work, so I was psyched that I was actually going to be able to see the last game of the season.

I sat in the bleachers until my ass was numb and my breath hung in the air like frost... They never played him.

To say I wasn't disappointed would be a lie.

The other team was totally kicking their asses, it's not like one play would make or break the game. My heart went out to the handful of who patiently waited on the sidelines for their chance to jump in.

I was a little pissed at myself, too, for not making a bigger issue about getting a previous Wednesday off to see a game. He had literally played in every previous game.

Sometimes I think being a parent is harder than being a . Every fiber of your being wants to charge in and defend their honor.

Put my in the game!!

The hard part is NOT doing what every fiber of your being wants you to do. I KNOW that talent and experience dictate whether or not your gets to play, and I know he needs to experience a sideline to WANT to gain talent and experience.

I just wish I had gotten a chance to see him play.

 That is bad luck for both of you. Have a great Friday!

 awww, that is just crummy luck on both your parts. Hopefully he just appreciated mom being there at all. Hugs!

He went to his dad's house after the game, so I never got a chance to talk to him. He was a little cranky before the game, so I didn't really get a chance to talk to him, but he knew I was there.

 been there, didn't get to see that, too. It can be hard, but we have to set the example.

I just wish it didn't make me feel like such a scum mom.

 I remember my younger brother going out for freshman football.
My dad went to a couple of games my mom didn't have the heart
and said she'd rather someone else use there stretcher.

My dad would shoot some super 8 movie film.My brother got an interception
and was clocked almost instantly.He said everything got real quiet and he couldn't see and he lay there as people were piling off and started to panic that he was really injured.He couldn't see and barely hear anything.
Suddenly he was lifted from the field and had his helmet completely turned around and we haven't stopped laughing since.
Using more than all the road!

It was the last game of the season, so, I think I'll have to wait until next year. I just hope he had fun, he ended up not joining robotics club so he could do football.

 How old is your son? I am thinking it is High School football? I might display some ignorance here, I mean I know football is a lot bigger there than it is here. But seriously, if it is high school football, only high school football, why can't everyone get a chance to play? I mean, it's not like it was the state championship game or something, right? And even if coach was trying to send a message, what's the point? It's the last game of the season.

He's in 8th grade. And, no, not a championship game or anything, they really were getting their asses kicked. Honestly, I don't know anything about football, either. My oldest son is 22 and had no interest is playing sports at all even though he was a pretty athletic kid. This son is not an athletic kid at all but I'm still pretty excited he's giving it a try.
