I am a very involved dad when it comes to my kid's sports. I have coached their teams, taken them out to practice with them on weekends, and do everything I can not to miss a game.... with one BIG exception: swimming. I told my daughter who is on the swim team (she does like 5 other sports too) that she could be competing in the Olympics and I wouldn't attend. It's freaking awful as a parent.
Learn swim mom smoke and a bar that is open during the meets.
