Seriously, your son is 5...so you need to be paying attention to him because of his age, plus...these moments of watching them grow up are something you're missing and will never get back. Pay attention to your kids, parents...soon you'll wish they were small again. Things like Tee-Ball games are something that shouldn't be missed, especially for something as stupid as a phone call or Facebook. That woman and all of the parents like her make me rage inside. I feel so bad for the kids who always have to wait for attention until the phone needs charged.

Don't even get me started on Tee Ball. I can't believe you only saw one parent doing that! Other then the coach, myself and two other dads every other parent was checked out.

Tee ball needs the parent's help. Each parent can be a base coach. It is hard game to learn and it is impossible for one coach to be expected to watch all those kids and teach them. Especially since their attention span is a minute.

And don't say "well I don't know baseball" BS! Stand at second and explained to the child when the ball is hit go to 3rd base. In the meantime observe the infielders and make sure they are paying attention. Easy as pie.

Why some folks reproduce is beyond me.

The single mom I spoke of earlier is a real piece of work. Her son is a distraction/obstacle to her social life. Her exact quote.
