Yesterday at Tanner's baseball game, one of the coaches freaked out twice because we wouldn't let his hitters take extra pitches so they could get a hit no matter what, and his parents were yelling also. "They're 6 and 7 years old", and "this is minor A, let them hit", they said. So even though it was against the rules and our team was trying to follow the rules, we were still being yelled at.
So I have two points. First, sometimes we can get away with not following rules, or bending them because we think it's for the greater good, but then we don't learn to have boundaries. Second, this just supports a whole new generation of everyone wins, lets give everyone what they "need" to make them feel better. It makes me sick! but I have to say, all of our parents stood behind following the rules and letting the boys learn that you don't always win. It made me feel hopeful that there are still people out there that are fighting for the things in our society that are deteriorating.
