Okay first of all:

1. Who cares who started the trend.....it looks lame either way.

2. this is a CHEERLEADING messageboard, not a messageboard to talk about jeans, get a life.

3. hey parents, stop living through your children.

The parents who pay the gyms for the kids to cheer should be able to live through their kids if they feel like it..we should be able to if we are footing the bill..ha ha ha

I think its ok to have your kids enjoy the program, but to have a comment about every step of the way is another. Let them just enjoy cheerleading.

You wouldn't have a life if it weren't for your parents. You wouldn't have anything, if it weren't for your parents. So what we do is of no concern to you. We shall speak of whatever we wish. Don't like it? Tough. Go to another message board. You're only embarassing yourself with your selfishness, nastiness, rudeness, and apparently your own parents inability to teach you manners. They didn't teach you much if you can hide behind an anonymous board and make such unkind comments. Sometimes parents do live through their children becuase they have given everything up for their children. This is called love. Something you don't know about obviously.

Nobody is talking about birthrights or being selfish. Thanks for the big DRAMATIC message. The bottom line is to support your child and let them enjoy the activities they are in. You may not agree with your program most of the time, but the point of all these programs is to have fun, be comeptitive, and to create memories. Some parents take it out of line and just create more chaos then help. Again this has nothing to do with love or sacrifice, just letting your child be a child.

OH MY GOD!!! I forgot! We're NOT suppose to enjoy ourselves, even for a moment of walking down "Memory Lane' and talking about our "Jeans". It's all about the Kids, right?? Parents are suppose to sacrifice for their kids, right??? Well, both my kids wanted to cheer..so guess what????? In order for them to cheer, I have to work my a$$ off and sacrifice to let them cheer!! I know, I know...You wern't "asked" to be born...blah, blah blah. Guess What?? News Flash!!!!!!! Neither were we!!! In fact, I drive a broken down 1986 Toyota, instead of a "2006 Beamer" so my kids can cheer! Am I complaining?? NO!!!! They appreciate what I do for them. So, you need to GROW UP and realize that it's not about YOU all the time!! Learn some manners and quit being such a BRAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Be Brave! Show your parent what you wrote!! What??? You can't??????? Oh, no surprise there. They'd kick you butt I'm guessing. Of course, you'll respond with "Oh, they support what I say. They just give me what I want because they "Love" me"...GAG!!!!!

What????

Anyway, when these children have their own children, they will understand. We as parents cannot argue with them because there is no way they can comprehend what goes into being an adult and having the responsibility of another life. It's not about the money, or how much we work to give our children a happy childhood. It's about teaching them to become good citizens and doing for others. As our children grow, we are also teaching them alot by being happy ourselves. children learn to be happy when their parents show them the way. Some of the children on this message board may not have the parent who shows them the way. They just pay the bills and let their teachers and coaches show them instead. Unfortunately this is only PART of the path of parenting. But some parents cannot do EVERYTHING for their children for some reason or another. I believe this is where the nastiness towards parents who participate in their childrens cheer lives comes in. They just don't understand it because their own parents to do it.

So arguing with a child will not teach them anything. It will just teach them that it ok to behave this way and they will keep on embarassing themselves. I say we just ignore this behavior and hope someday they will grow out of it. And hopefully their parents will show them that talking to other parents this way is disrespectful and hurtful. It's like throwing a temper tantrum when your toddler throws one. They are just throwing temper tantrums because they don't agree with what we do as adults. But we all know that they are wrong, so why would we argue with them?

And if someone comes on here and SAYS they are an adult and agrees with them, well, we all know that it's not true either.

Live thru and with your children. They will do the same for their children and we will have happier teenagers for our future!
