Uber parents are patently obvious at the sporting events my kids used to participate in and still do participate in. These parents are the ones who want no score keeping for self-esteem's sake, despite the fact that all the kids keep score in their minds. These are the same parents who (I ahve coached Hockey for years) run a stopwatch to make sure their little Johnny gets the same amount of ice time as other kids. Do you have any idea how hard it is to keep track of that? Not to get into too much hockey detail , but if the action is up and down the ice, lines must change more quickly...if the action is all at one end, the lines can stay and sometimes have to stay, particularly if you are in the defensive end (otherwise you end up shorthanded).
These are the same parents who end up dumbing down the educational system by whining about little Johnny's "B" instead of an "A", ultimately causeing all kids to earn an "A".
These folks need to watch playground justice, where their kid plays right field and bats 9th because he sucks at baseball. They need to see little Johnny as an adult in my office, where he thinks he is entitled to a fat raise every year and responsibility he is not capapble if handling.
These parents need a swift kick>
