What's wrong with people?

So there is NO ONE you don’t like? You want to talk to every one of the parents on the team, or after the play, or at the store? Good for you. I’m not that friendly but i’m not hostile.

There was one parent on our team who treated his 16 year old like she was 3. He CARRIED her to the car. She whined (“Daddy, I’m so tired, Daddy my feet hurt”), so he complied. I had nothing nice to say so just stayed away from them. I didn’t feel I was hostile, I just did’t want to watch this, game after game, and he was always standing in the middle of the parent’s group because, of course, his kid was so important (in his dreams). If he would have said something to me on the way out, I probably would have given the fake smile or just said nothing but what I wanted to say was ‘Put her down!’. He couldn’t have touched me because he was carrying a 150 pound kid and her equipment.
