Daughter had a softball game today. It was over an hour away. There is a young woman on her team, A, who has not been very dependable this year. They were balancing trying to get everyone in with keeping the players in who gave them the best chance to win. A was put in to play the outfield, but the best hitters on the team went down in order, so she didn't get to hit. They lost the game, which meant they didn't get to play a second game.

A number of the athletes were upset, but they did their best. I was secretly glad, because I didn't really want to spend the whole day there, so it didn't bother me that they didn't have to play the second game.

When A came out after the game, her mother said to her, "Why didn't you get a chance to hit? We drove all this way for nothing. It was a complete waste of time." A sat down and began to cry, and her parents turned their backs on her. Her stepfather is a registered sex offender-- the highest level there is in this state. I felt so bad for A. .
Some people shouldn't be parents.
