Being a parent and being a best friend is incompatible. I feel like those are conflict of interest being your kid's best friend and parent. What sports he or she plays, I really care that they have good coaches. People say, oh my God, sports teach such great life lessons. No, they don't. Great coaches and parents do through sports. My kids not playing sports to be a D one athlete. And it's also why I don't really, I don't care. Period.
