It's hard not to get super involved in your kid's life. You want them to succeed and you want them to be as amazing as you believe they already are, so why not enroll them in some friendly, recreational sports? Perhaps you can cultivate their competitive side and help bolster some confidence. Maybe they'll even make some new friends! Little did you know that when you first signed your kiddo up for the local soccer team, you were signing away your life and freedoms for at least 10 hours on Saturdays and you might have accidentally volunteered your husband to be the coach. Uh oh– what have we gotten ourselves into?
As a soccer mom, your life revolves around early weekend mornings, gallons of coffee, gossipy interactions with the other moms, and trying to refrain from getting too fired up in the sidelines of that U11 soccer game. But we all know that after a CapriSun or two, soccer parents are going to get a little rowdy on the sidelines, making a scene and threatening the referee's career over a miss-called foul.
