Well, when they take down an entire program, what else would you call them? They don't just destroy cheer programs, I have seen them gossip so bad about other kids. I've seen coaches destroyed by them. Cancer would probably describe them. Cancer starts out small, and if you don't cut it out you may loose your entire program.
As a Parent, I would tell them to stop. Let them know you and the other parents do not care to hear the B.S. ....as a gym owner, I would talk with them. They either knock it off or they can no longer stay in the gym or just kick them out. Sucks for the child, but better now then later in the season!
How do you get rid of your cancer parent or how do you other parents handle your cancer parents in the lobby?
Oh, lord knows we have one of those! "My daughter is the best tumbler on the team! She's so talented, She should have last pass... she's the best... Why does she have to be on the back for the dance!? She shoud be front and center..." God, I cant stand that woman. Quite honestly, she kept running her mouth one day and one of the parents finally got tired of it and said "Its not about your daughter! We have 36 kids on the team... its not '-----All Stars' There are a lot of talented kids on this team..." She hasn't opened her mouth since..(fingers crossed)

I think every gym has that type of mom...sad, but true
We put in our contract and constitution that gossip and negative comments about athletes and familys in the gym will not be tolerated and will result in removal of parent from gym, i.e. closed practices to them. If it continues, then we let the family go. We don't seem to have the rampant problems that it once was after we removed the first few parents.

Great job! Please speak up and handle that person, because what they do with the coaches and with the other cheerleaders is play them all down. Like it is all about them and their child. Awesome! (we'll keep our fingers crossed for you)
Parents can start so much and they try and get all their buddies to jump on board. They don't just sit there and be quiet and leave quiet they get really mean and want to destroy before they leave. They try and take as many people with them. So if you have a problem parent I think you should x them as soon as possible.
We were with a program where the owner banned the parent of a child from coming into the gym. You do what you have to do so that the cancer does not spread.

I have found if they are a problem the will not stop being a problem they will just find another way to keep their issues going.

Thank you. I go to watch my children practice, not to hear someone talk about their kid (s) like they are the only ones in the gym. Its one thing to be PROUD of your child.. its another to act as though they should have the routine made completely around them. My kids (as well as others), have been given compliments from other parents in our gym, they humbly say "Thank you" with a smile.. thats it. I have seen some kids let it go to their head, because their parents/mom are allowing it to happen. Every mother thinks their own child (children) is great, and thats fine, but do it with some class, and respect for others around you. Talking like your child is the "star" of the show only makes you look like an bumble booty and it's offensive to the other parents. Here's to a NEW exciting season for everyone. Oh, and here's an idea, lets all be possitive! *smile*
