"Definitely right Lana, kid needs someone other than parent to talk to him, agreed, especially if his behavior is not changing. However, as parents we are responsible for how our kids behave while they live under our guidance so telling his dad…"
Lana Johnson replied to tennisbuddys's discussion 'What would you do if it were you?'"I think the kid needs someone to talk to him before he gets in trouble. And not with his parents, because if they were any good he would understand by now that throwing a racket randomly where people are can get his ass kicked by those…"
"Good insight Mark, thank you! I know the kid very well and my son's played him many times at Super Champ tourney and at the club just practice matches that we parents setup randomly. Got a reputation of hitting the racquet on the ground and…"
Mark / The Mayor replied to tennisbuddys's discussion 'What would you do if it were you?'"Interesting question. To me, it depends what my relationship with the kids is. Am I there to watch them, do I know them, etc? If I don't know them at all, I think the men playing next to them have more responsibility than…"
