1. Someone didn't read my post. In my post above when I start the sentence my gym is non profit where I am speaking to Just A Mom where i say "what you don't know is..." Oh can't find it? I didn't type that.
2. I did indeed take it personally about "some sponsors." After all, you quoted my reply. so which part of the paragraph was directed at everyone: "If you don't want to spend the money to go far away to a national championship, then don't. But that doesn't mean that they should be held all over the country. Like I said before, who else does that??? Get some sponsors to pay for your trip like every other sport in the country." Who was that directed to? If not me, then who, since again, you quoted my reply, who was it to?
3. It is your opinion and mine. And you are entitled to it, but when you quote my statements and respond to them, then you are speaking to me. Giving ME your opinion about what I wrote. And I am answering. I do have a tendency to become hostile when I get insulted.
4. I am a mom too and never implied you were uneducated. Whereas you stated: "I guess you think "mom" means uneducated...since being just a mom automatically means i don't know this (your words not mine}", I say find it. Find where I said that. You are the one who stated "My name is "Just-a-Mom" for a reason--because that's all I am. I'm not rich, I don't own a gym, I don't coach. " I said because you were just a mom, you PROBABLY don't know.....
And to clarify, I stated this because YOU said you were not rich, don't own a gym, don't coach, etc., and the impression you gave was that you did not have the same information as gym owners (although how owning a gym equates to being rich, I will never know), and coaches that you really didn't know that most competition companies don't have a staff of judges.
Im on a phone and on my way to a funeral so I'll have to reply to most of this later. Just wanted to clarify that owning a gym and being rich were 2 separate things that i am not. Meaning Im not rich so Im not saying "oh blah...take your kids wherever nationals is...its just money" AND i don't own a gym so Im looking at this from a parents pov. Not that i don't understand the gym owner's perspective...i just don't share it.
Its really hard to make what Im saying clear on a phone and it keeps coming out differently than i intend so Im giving up until Im near an actual computer again.
