How to deal with my son's coaches wife
If there is something I never thought I would have to deal with when it came to my son's baseball team, is the coaches wife. I have only seen her twice (baseball season just started), the first time she was by the dugouts the whole time away from the rest of the parents and this second time that she was in the bleachers with everyone. It is a rule that the coach made that while the players are out on the field the parents cannot tell the kids what to do, they are only to listen to the coaches. Which is fine, we obey all their rules. My husband went over to see and talk to my son through the dugout fence, as they were waiting to bat. Appartently, that is also not allowed. The coach while my husband was speaking to my son announced it to the parents. Okay, our mistake. But, the coaches wife was not willing to drop it. She keep repeating the it is not the parents whom should be coaching and that the kids need to be concentrating on the game. Like, I said it was a mistake, that has never been an issue in the past. It was uncomfortable b/c she was talking about my husband (not directly) and wouldn't drop it. It even made others around us uncomfortable, everyone sort of had a plain look on their face. It felt as if she was doing it on purpose. I thought well maybe I'm too senstive. Then, about a few minutes later she began shouting on to the field ( to her son) to pay attention, to open his glove; in other words she began coaching him. Excalty, what no one is suppose to do, and what she had been preaching about. I don't get it. What was the point of her doing that? Does she feel b/c she is the wife she is allowed to do so? I would probably never say anything to her regardless, my son is my priority and I will not let anything ruin him playing baseball. But what do you guys think is the deal with someone like that? Or I'm I being too sensitive?
