Quote GH FAN 4 LIFE: Good Mornig everyone.
First of all Mommyof1 my prayers are with you. I know what it is like to suffer personal lost. I hope that you will chat with all of us if this makes you feel better. Do not want obe pushy. Just wrap your arms aroungd yourself and your baby and know we are all "hgging" you as well.
I was catching up on the post/lounge. Wow and OMG.
My youngest son had a basketball game last night, and he did not get to start. He is a freshman in college and after 21 games he has dropped to the 4th spot in a point guard position. He hardly gets any minutes on the floor. I was very emotional last night could not sleep and all I could think abbout was wanting to get back to here and talk to someone. Then I read some of the chats and found out that some of you have ballplayers - Kikia and GHROCKS23 your kids playing BB? I know my son is only a freshman and has to wait his turn, but I tell you there is a lot of politics going on even college sports. I do not want him to get discourage. I wish I had time to share with you all what my boys has been through for both of these past several years. My main goal is both of them to get a scholership and finish up in college with his degree. That is first. However we as mothers cannot make up thier minds for them it is hard. Anyone out there feeling my pain?


My daughter is only 13, 14 soon, in 2 weeks. She is in the 8th grade and not bad for our area. I take her to the city in the off season, alot of traveling, to play AAU. We've gone to Nationals and everything.. well Nationals 2 years ago, this past year they didn't make it. I tell my daughter that I would like for her to use this talent to get her college degree, even if she has to sit on the bench all four years. She looks at me like I am crazy cause I know they have their hearts set on playing the entire time. It's hard cause you know they want more than just to sit there watching, they love it so much it hurts. Just be there for him, be his comfort and listen. There's really not much more you can do and I've learn that sometimes saying too much doesn't help. I instill Education as #1. I hope he is feeling better. It sucks, but tell him to be patient.

My daughter hasn't had to fight her way onto any starting positions yet, but I think this year she's going to have to. We are going to have her try out for 16 yr old teams in AAU. Something that she needs, she isn't challenged enough and she needs to work hard for it if that's what she wants. This season will be challenging for her. She's not getting great coaching at the junior high level so that's more frustrating for me and her at the moment. It's pretty bad when the entire team says "No coach we didn't do well at all!" I'm thinking ok, yes they are girls, but they are big enough to handle the truth, don't baby them. I would rather she play with the 8th grade boys, it's that bad.

I have found that there are so many things learned on the court that they can apply to everyday life, things like never giving up, want it bad enough, you have to work for it, an opportunity arises take it head on, etc. etc.


I thank you for your response. I will try not to say too much. My son tore his acL/knee injury which we know can be a "carrer killer" for a bball player. He was an emotional wreck. He ws the staring PG and he wanted so much to play with his team his final year to go for the championship and also paly in the "all star game" at the end of the year. He aked me and his doctor "has anyone ever played with a torn ACL?" His ortho doc said no but he would only allow him to do so if we bough him this speacial brace and he "beefed up" his quad muscles. So of course we discussed it and said if this is wha youwant to do we will support you. However the doc did say plating injured may hurt him more. He did not care. So $$$$ laters and four weeks of rehab we got the brace( of course our HMO would not cover) and he played. Not only did he make it to the CIF game (we did lose) but he played in th ALL star game and game in first place in the 3point contest. They did a little articlein out local paper, about his determination and perserverance. I am sorry dod not mean to brag, but I am so proud of him. Unfortunatly no UC offered him a scholership so he ended up at a JC. Ok I said enough. I guess I was jut hoping that a coach would bemproud to have such a fine young man on his team and my boy has so much heart!!!


No need to ever apologize for being proud of your child. I think that is awesome and it's always great to hear something positive. Just keep your head up so that you can keep his head up and with faith, there is nothing that is impossible.

Quote efizzle: kiakia, what part of Cali do you live in? I have family there. I'm supposed to go out there in September for my cousin's wedding. They live in Oakland and Richmond. The weather is nuts here in Louisiana. It is 28 degrees. For us southern folks, that is FREEZING!!


I'm in Newport Beach which is normally sunny & warm. But because of the ocean you can get a nasty wind sometimes. Richmond and Oakland that is up north. Straight Bay area I've never been there. I've been to San Francisco which is the bay area. I try to explain to people Cali is like two states one is northern California and the other is southern. They could not be more different. From the people to the weather to the attitude.


Is it odd that I don't like the ocean? I hate water, except to bathe. I don't like to swim or lay on a beach. We were planning a trip to Hawaii but found we can go to Germany for the same price... I'm on board for Germany.. hands down!! My co-worker and his fiancee' are planning a trip to Hawaii for their honeymoon and he says going to Germany over Hawaii is STUPID! Alot may have to do with me being so self-conscious about my body. Come to think of it, that probably has everything to do with it.


Good morning everyone. Germany is nice I liked Italy better. Well look at it this way you can go Hawaii anytime that is part of the 50 states. But how long will international travel be safe. So take advantage of it while you can.

Quote kiakia: GHRocks23 no I don't think you're too strict. I think you sound just right. I grew up in a really strict household not able to date 19 so 16 would have made me do cartwheels.


lol on the cartwheels. I grew up the same. My first date with a guy... I ended up marrying (and ultimately divorcing) him. And we started dating my senior year. I thank my mom now though because I saw so many girls go astray because of parents letting them do whatever.


Yes I agree I thought it harsh growing up now I thank God. I see so many girls living life so fast and then they end up looking older then they are. And life has used them up. I prefer my innocent outlook on life then that fast pace one. I appreciate the values and rules that I was given. And I hope to pass them on to my children.
