Don't blame the guy dude. He's just one of those children who take their parents for granted.

shytt that sucks! i agree with #95

All these people saying "ground him" or "nooooo dont whoop him" and "TALK to him" THOSE are the reasons kids are doing crap like THIS. because they get "talked to" or "grounded" oh heaven forbid they dont get to watch their precious t.v.. If I EVER said that about my mother my daddy would have beat my butt! I was brought up to have RESPECT for my elders ESPECIALLY my parents. and all this politically correct "dont spank your kids its child abuse" bull is getting REALLY old. I was spanked as a kid and i turned out just fine. as a matter of fact i love my parents even more for raising me right. he should be grateful that his parents care enough to be at his game much less cheering and supporting him.

i played soccer for 13 years, premier soccer for eight years, there were probably hundreds of times that my parents embarrassed me just like that and i never once said anything like that, or even thought about saying something like that. there is no excuse for that. sure growing up and being a kid is tough sometimes, but life is tough for everyone all the time. he needs to grow up a little bit and start respecting you. that just sounds so ungrateful, im really sorry.

Wow, FYL and YDI... YDI because you raised the kid.

I used to get embarrassed by my parents cheering for me (I prefer to blend in than stand out). But I also knew that they only did it because they were proud of me and that they enjoyed being there... I'd just talk to him about it. But under no circumstances should he have said what he did, that's rude and disrespectful.

Wow #65, you expect the kid to be as mature then as you are now? What's that old saying? "The youth can never know what it is like to be old, but the old are fools if they forget what it's like to be young." You aren't picturing yourself in his shoes, maybe he has a different outlook on life than you did when you were younger. Everyone has 20-20 hindsight and can say "Oh, well I wouldn't have done that. They deserve it!" Beating your kid because he didn't want to get made fun of will just make him not trust you, lie to you more often and you will lose his respect. You better believe when he gets older hes going to kick the crap out of you. Or at the very least, drop you in a old folks home and leave you.

Well cheering at the top of your lungs for your child at a game is sort of embarrassing, and will probably cause kids to make fun of him. In any case, it doesn't give your kid the right to call you "some fat bitch", even though you shouldn't really expect him to react positively to an outburst like that.

Bookie - Instant respect for the Red Sox logo and your posts. Seriously... Anyone going on to say that it's normal for kids to say shit like that, is a dipshit who wasn't raised properly. You don't say that about your mother, period, let alone to other kids. Embarassment or not, that's your parent, be glad your parents give a shit enough about you to even come to your games and root for you. Personally if that was my kid he would get it. Ungrateful little pissant.

Sorry for the double comment, couldn't edit in time. #87 Someone else said that sometimes it's better for the parents to be there and show thier support, they don't need to cheer. Maybe they did it out of love, and really do care about thier child. The child cares just as much for the mom, but do you not remember how much you just want to fit in at that age? He just has this "I don't care" attitude around his friends and blew OP off because he didn't want to be made fun of. Someone else said that the mom could have just saved the cheering for the ride home. I know that when I played soccer, I would much prefer that becasue while I do like to stand out and have attention, I like it to be of my own making. And in a positive light. A parent shouting out loud at a soccer game is one of those classic, over bearing soccer moms and the kid doesn't want to be ragged for it. I don't blame him at all.
