[quote=outtamojo][quote=Blogstar]Yesterday I was at the gym with my eight year old son. We walked around the pool area looking for a man to do the swim portion of and upcoming triathlon relay. My son couldn’t believe I was going to walk up to complete strangers introduce myself and ask if they wanted to do the swim. I did it though, had a few nice conversations, that is an initiation. Of course, if they didn’t wan’t to do it, I said thanks anyway lil’ bitch.[/quote]
Not supposed to talk that way to strangers ( the lil bitch part). My son and the other kid had more history than that.
I can see now how new this is to you.[/quote]
Not new to this at all. I went to middle school from the wrong side of the tracks in the wrong kind of town. I spent 6 years as an enlisted man in the Navy and worked in construction after. I have been on plenty of sports teams. I have two middle school boys beside the 8 year old. I don’t see the lil’ bitch and other stuff as constructive. Common yes, forgivable yes, not that big of a deal in many circumstances, all true.
I can understand your wanting to discredit my perspective though. For whatever reason , you think it will help your kid. If anyone is new to it , that’s you, after all you started a thread on Piggington’s about basic stuff.
