Am I the only one...

It only gets worst from here on, If you are seeing things clearly at this age then you are doing better than most. Don't let the clubs suck your life away.

If my 8 yrs old make it out of R1 of Mayors div, we will head to Lancaster. I'm secretly wishing they won't, as that's 3 hrs for us from SD. Yes we could have opted out, but I didn't want my kid to be the only one from his team not playing. But I'm not looking forward to traveling that far! Just curious, any other parents feeling this way? I might be okay if they are much older.

If it helps, my u18 player is signing her NLI next week. I have been putting together photos of her soccer memories this week. Her u8 and u9 photos of trips to Lancaster for State Cups, including the stays at the Oxford Suites where she witnessed her first police activity have been the subject of many of the "favorite memories." Their team won State Cup at u10. And she absolutely loves to tell the story of learning that her still-best friend's mom was going to a baby while we were driving on that road to Lancaster. Those two girls were screaming with joy about it the WHOLE way.... That "baby" now also plays club soccer and just wants to be like the big girls.

Yah, it is not the greatest way to spend a Saturday. But, in 10 years, it just may be the memories your kid finds some of her fondest.

We never stayed in Temecula, since it is a short drive away. We stayed in Palmdale/Lancaster several times (maybe a dozen?) over the years. During that time, there were two midnight police chases that ended right outside our hotel (same hotel, two consecutive years) and a shooting in the bar next door to a different hotel. And the whole town apparently had no bananas one Sunday.

On the other hand, we stayed in a hotel that had once been a Holiday Inn and the nicest place in Palmdale/Lancaster, back in the 70s when the freeway ended right as it came out of the mountains. One Friday night the night manager was doubling as the bartender, so when anyone checked in he let us make our own drinks on the honor system and pay for them when he got back to the bar.
