when i read no 10 I just burst out into tears, because my daughter’s swimming comes before anything: school, my husband, my other child and a series of so many things. i am embarrased.
Numbers 4,6,7,8 are totally me!!!!
you have a car bought a month before they turn 16 so they can get used to driving it and immediately start driving to morning practice
Good one! Not sure if you are talking about you or me because we did just that!
You forgot ” you don’t hesitate to hug your wet swimmer after a great race”
I have boys and do at least TWO loads of beach towels a week. Haven’t missed school for swim except 1 travel meet a year.
You forget: Share swim swam tips or articles on the Facebook club two or three times a month! like “two tips about parents on swim meets!!!”
You carry a sharpie and highlighter in your purse at all times.
Your “mom bag” is stocked at all times with snacks, extra goggles, bungee straps, and charging cords.
LOL. I sooooo don’t know my kids times!
