Scrimmage

But those who judge minute details of parental that are ultimately meaningless are the good guys 

I'm sure almost everyone falls into the good guy, well meaning category. Everyone loves their kids. But (imo) being a good Dad or Mom comes with some difficult side effects - some nights the kids will go to bed less than happy with you. Hardest part of being a parent but it's essential.

Nothing better than people telling other people how they should raise their kids.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Can we talk about a "6 year old" having the audacity to say "I'm pissed."

I would have had my mouth cleaned out with soap. Never mind the lack of gratitude for complaining after mom and/or dad took me somewhere. Yikes! I'd be washing out toilets by hand for a month.

But shame on Marquette....

Is it the word pissed offending you? Or are you arguing that children shouldn't articulate when they are upset about something?

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

+1. Parents who try to be best friends with their kids do everyone (especially their kids) a disservice.

What about brews story (which is what the post you quoted was about) leads you to believe that he is "trying to be best friends with" or "doing a disservice" to his kids?

That's not audacious. I was proud of her for using the term properly. I'm not a puritan who's afraid of language. I don't hide my children from difficult phrases or topics because I'm raising them in the real world, not sheltering them from it.

Come off your high horse, you know nothing prick. You know less than zero about my household or how I raise my kids. They are comfortable enough to speak their minds to me because they know they are safe, yet despite her saying the word "pissed" to me (oh heavens to Murgatroyd!) her teachers always praise how well behaved and rule following she is.

Mind your own goddamn business.

One month out from the season and even the somewhat rational posters are coming unhinged over a hot dog. We are so back! Bring on Stony Brook!!!

I wasn't there, I have nothing to go on but Brew's own description of what happened. I think a parent that defends (or celebrates) the sort of behavior he described is doing his child a disservice. Others are free to disagree - parenting is certainly not an exact science.

Because his child said "I'm pissed" because she was hungry? AFAIK, she didn't have a tantrum, make a scene or did anything that would disrupt the people around her.

I personally could care less about how you parent your kid, but getting all twisted over a scrimmage not having hot dogs/concessions available makes you look like a high horse riding, prick. 

Not sure what's gotten you to become such an angry, unhinged, individual, but this rant, along with your incessant criticsim of MU's social media content (which is actually quite good), is just "weird."

A few takeaways....

Ben dove for a ball at practice this week..needed 9 stitches....the reason for the mask.

Chase will have a great year per Shaka. Wearing sleeve on left arm.

DO really look the part. Hoping to able to practice this week, slight injury.

This is the place to be at marquette...no place better (Shaka).

Walkon Jack Anderson can shoot the 3 ball...Shaka said so....and then he did.

Caedin crafty and big.... Several offensive fouls on picks....help d (showing on screens)very solid.
Learned alot from Oso. Stutter step croosover, looking for back door cuts, etc. Body way ahead of Oso at this age.

PG Stevie very crafty at rim...both hands. Very solid.

Jop 50% or so on 3s......but some head scratching decisions/turnovers.

Kam frustrated in first half. Old Kam second half.

BG short on every 3 attempt. 0-5 from deep, I believe.

Sean coaching blue in TOs.

Royce can score.....3 times in a row late in the game.

I was going to say Al is still behind, but I think this is what he is. Shaka calls him energy guy.

Clark had ~8 dunks off help d commitments.....nice to have 7'1" to lob to.

My biggest takeaway is Caedin got an education from Oso and it shows. He said as much. He will be a focal point at some time.....maybe next season.

Thank you for the synopsis.

I'm pissed. Although generally I use "pissed off".

[Lennys Tap]

I assumed that Brew being moved to a tantrum over such a minor issue was his overreaction to a child's overreaction. If it was all him, I apologize to the child.

Can you explain how defending a six year old expressing that that she was disappointed (without throwing a tantrum or making a scene) that they were given a choice between being hungry and attending an event they were looking forward to is a disservice?

Is your opinion that children should be silent if they are disappointed by something?

Edit: I see in you last post that you mistakenly assumed that the child was throwing a tantrum

We had hot dogs last night for dinner.

I'll call them Chicago style.  Had the traditional toppings, minus tomatoes.  Even got a jar of Vienna sport peppers.  Used Neuske's applewood smoked skin on wieners.  Pretty darned good.

Yes, how dare I expect that Marquette would do what they've done in the past at such events, including the oh so distant past of the night before at the women's basketball event?

Ironic coming from the king of "weird" incessant posting about a coach that hasn't been here for years.

I know I'm coming to Scoop for parenting classes if we're ever expecting children.

Brew's poor kid would be better off if he was an absentee father. Kid's going to be a spoiled brat.

What a joke this place is haha. Imagine telling someone you've never met that they're raising their child (that you've also never met) incorrectly. My god talk about overinflated sense of self importance.

SUPERBAR!

Because she used the word "pissed."

A couple weeks ago, my 3 yo let fly with an "Oh, dammit!" when he accidentally knocked over his Magna-tile tower. I surrendered him to child services because I'm an unfit parent.

We try to censor ourselves, but we're human too. And kids pick up things in all sorts of settings, especially if they are in daycare/school.

What a ridiculous discussion, even by Scoop standards.

Magna-tile

Love Magna-tiles.
