OK, I think we’ve all become a little callous to people who are truly disadvantaged. The liberals have stolen our compassion with all the ADA, prostitution of minority status, and all the “for the children” justification of their agenda.
I don’t think it’s a “Momma Drama”, or “...center of attention” issue at all.
I’ve coached baseball and T-ball for about 20 years, and I’ve run across lots of parents who think their kids are the best players on the planet, and they don’t mess with me. Why? Because I treat EVERY kid as important, and give no quarter to whiners.
You just have to remember what it’s like to be a kid. Look out for them, and make sure you spend time working on their problems. I’m a 53 year-old man who HATES the “everybody deserves a trophy” culture. I can recognize whiny parents and kids a mile away, and this doesn’t sound like it.
I would have had the kids move all the way down the bleachers next to his wheelchair. He wanted to be included. Just like we all do.
It’s refreshing to read rational posts like yours.
