I responded to a public post. I did not need to send a PM.

Then it would be just an irrelevant personal insult used in a heated argument. But you made it in public, and you seemed to be calling a broad group of folks out with the name, "part-time parents."

It was hardly an insult. I explained why I coach already. Others have stated that when they coached they behaved poorly. I prefer to have my son see a good example of how it is done. Another stated that coaches are merely living vicariously through their kids. Maybe some are, but painting with a broad brush is dangerous.

I read this forum; I don't coach youth sports. As I read your public post, I meet the criteria for your derogatory remark.
I'll ask again, did you intend to call me by that name?

Do you have children who are engaged in competitive sports at the moment?
If you engage in bad behavior that your children see then yes, that is part time parenting. I prefer to set a good example whenever I am on the field - as umpire or coach.
