jaedmc Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 First Tee-Ball practice yesterday. The first game is today. The Coach was telling everyone that there'd be hotdogs and hamburgers being grilled by the rest of the coaches for the Opening Day celebrations. He also mentioned that if you wanted to bring stuff to add to it, feel free to do so. Then he said the following: "So yeah, we'll have hotdogs and hamburgers and we'll have, you know, over to the side some stuff for the fathers." He said this at least three times, about some stuff over on the side for the fathers. So my question is: should I be prepared to be offered prostitutes at my son's first teeball game? Is this standard practice among teeball leagues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsey Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 When my youngest finished her soccer season, we all met for frozen yogurt. No whores that I could see. Mind you, tee-ball has always been a haven for drugs and easy women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Sugar Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Posting this here as well as the "Photos" page. Spoilered for size: The 9th Annual Father-Daughter Dance was held at Parkinson Rec a few Sundays ago; it's the third year my girls and I have been. I didn't know about it before then; and in fact I think my ex signed me up without my knowing three years ago, because she was insistent I didn't spend enough time with the girls. She was probably right, but since our separation I can't get enough time with them. Funny how that works. Regardless, each year this is one of the best afternoons of my life. So much fun: games, face-painting (I have a sweet Warrior tribute I will post later), and dancing. It poured so the outside playground portion got canceled, so the girls and I danced for about two hours straight...I was in agony the next day, but it was totally worth it. I did learn that there are far too many country songs about Dads who love their girls that will make you bawl in public...or maybe that's just me. Could be. I worked all morning and had to work all night after the dance, so I was running on fumes come Monday...but this could not be missed. Not sure if there's anything like this in your area, but if there is...DO THIS. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 We've had a hard time putting the 12 year old stepson in any activities, since we have to drive 60-90 minutes every other friday night+sunday afternoon to drop him to his dad's (We both drive half way but his dad is many miles away). So we lose weekend activities, basically. He does violin AND his middle school orchestra just won a big competition at Hershey Park BUT I'm excited for what we'll be able to put the 23 month old girl into as she gets older, be it Krav Maga (So she can destroy the boys) or Gymnastics because she's already a little monkey or fencing or what.

offspring515 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Good thing I have a son. Surely no songs have been written about father/son relationships that could bring a grown man to weep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I suspect you're being sarcastic, but I'll put this here anyway, because this got me when I was a kid, and gets me even more so now. One of the most powerful public information ads you'll ever see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 They all look like this kid: TODAY'S PLAY OF THE GAME: Pirates had the bases loaded. The hitter knocked the piss out of the ball into deep right field, a possible grandslam for sure. The third base runner then proceeded to run across the field from third base into right field to retrieve the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsey Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 My oldest daughter won Freshman representative in her class elections today. She gave her speech on Friday and some little shit kicker and his cronies came up to her afterwards and basically insulted her and said they hoped she didn't win. She no-sold it to them but it bugged her all weekend. She didn't tell me it did, but she didn't have to. Today she fed them shit sandwiches. Today she crushed her enemies, saw them driven before her, and will hear the celebration of her father. Fucking hillbillies anyway... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swift Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 It's funny what kind of songs kids get hooked on. My 5 year old son has an eclectic playlist in the car. Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough Lou Reed - Perfect Day Katy Perry - Roar April March - Chick Habit/Laisse Tomber Les Filles Mashallah - from the Bollywood movie "Ek Tha Tiger" but by far his favourite tune is the one below. He's been humming it pretty much non stop for the last couple months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonteCarl Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 12 weeks away from becoming a first time Dad. Nervous. Excited. Scared. I've never been a baby guy. I'm fine with toddlers and above, but not so much the babies. My fiancee has two other kids (7 and 12), so she's done it before and she will be my saviour, I'm sure. Getting the last ultra-sound tomorrow afternoon. Baby shower this weekend. I'm embarking on something I never thought I'd do. Crazy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
