My son's coach is an asshole.

@boomerang,

Why on earth would an adult do something like this? I understand people think Mo should handle it on his own but maybe you should talk to Mo once and ask him if he wants you to talk to his coach. Have a mature adult adult conversation with the coach, no blames or accusations, and see what excuse he has. This behavior from a child's teacher can just not be acceptable.

He said he was being an asshole (that's a direct quote). He made some noise about how is his an asshole to his own kids and how that helped them get things done and blahblahblah. That Mo's been around for so many years that he was just treating him like his own and blahblahblah.

Honestly, it scared me for his kids. At least I know he's not so awful to them that they won't call him on his behavior.

I know he's a good coach. He's coached for years and years. I know a lot of the kids he's coached and many of their families. I've never heard a complaint about him.

You know he's a good coach. You have no reason, really, to believe he's a bad father and yet you are fixated on this one thing and seem to want to crucify him on it.

Move on for God's sake. It isn't the end of the world and years from now you're son will, I hope, be telling this tale to his friends out of interest rather than to a therapist.

If this is one of your kids worst experiences, count your blessings.

@Finn dAbuzz,

What in the heck are you going on about?

Considering that I posted that a week ago I think it's safe to say I've moved on.

Nowhere on here did I say I wanted to crucify him. Nowhere on here did I suggest that I would do anything other than have a conversation with him about it.

You have no idea what other things I might know on which I judge his fathering ability. I never mentioned anything other than this one incident. But yes, if that's the way he treats his own kids it makes me worried for them.

@boomerang,

I'm "going on" about your going on.

If you moved on a week ago, it's hard to see how your current postings reflect that initiative.

Good Lord, obviously you didn't actually say you wanted to actually "crucify" him. Really?

Clearly I have no idea of facts or fiction you are keeping from us and so I comment upon what you deign to reveal.

From what you have "shared" with us, I am convinced that what I have commented upon is accurate. If you wish to "share" with us a blockbuster such as the coach was convicted or child molestation you should do so and not suggest you have some special knowledge we don't.

Over protectiveness by a mother is vastly preferable than indifference, neglect and abuse, but this doesn't mean it is the optimum reaction.

Really?? Please EXPLAIN how moving on will benefit God, Find Abuzz.

You're not really advancing this as something worthy of Finn discussing, are you, Dave?

I'm sorry, I've been busy being feisty. I generally am yes on Boom's posts.

We argue once in a while.

What I think about what, osso?

This issue has been resolved for a while now.

In fact, we had dinner with the coach and Friend last night.

I still have some concerns about him, personally, but not as a coach. He's a good coach.

Not at all a child molester as Fin insinuates.

I knew what I meant at the time, but I'll have to look back so I can be imperative.

@ossobuco,

Your son will be verbally abused many times in his life. You have given him the skills to verbalize that he did not like it and you gave him permission to leave the situation if he chose to. That's good enough for right now.

Now you can step back and let him fight his own battles.

IN THE FUTURE, he will know what to do if he gets ragged on by a coach. - and he will!! believe me. (As mother of 2 boys and 2 grandsons, believe me, he will)

@PUNKEY,

I said what? because you were addressing me as if Mo were my son and I should change my ways.

Stop being disingenous (or simply stupid) boomerang.

I never insinuated he was a child molester.

You really don't like to be challenged when it comes to your mothering, do you?

You would prefer to go on and on about this or that adventure or misadventure of Little Mo and have everyone nod their head in empathetic agreement or simply smile at a glimpse into the life of the perfect family.

You're going to keep posting these threads and I will comment on those that I find of interest. If you don't like what I have to say...so sorry.

On the contrary. I like to be challenged. I wouldn't post about it if I didn't want to hear a variety of opinions. Hearing a variety of ideas helps me clarify my thoughts.
