Their next oldest son is on meds for depression. He isn't any good at soccer, and she had the nerve to tell him that he needed to quit b/c with Son 1's expenses, they couldn't afford for him to play mediocre ball. He has really struggled, but finally seems to be coming out of it. I just get a little tired of being told that I don't understand. So I try to not comment on it at all; she doesn't like what I think b/c I think she and her husband are dumb.

That is so sad. Maybe one day they will see how much they damaged the other 3 kids.

That is awful. You tell me where star Son 1 is in 10 years. I gaurandamntee it won't be on any star soccer team!! That is horrible.
America's unhealthy obsession with school aged children and sports is sick.

You understand M2K. You totally understand. You're not the crazy one here.
