Total and Complete Enlightenment with regard to Youth Sports

Does anyone know when, timetable-wise, adults become knowledgeable on the topics of which they post?
My guess is about 5 years after their child moves out and they stop posting, but I am not certain.

I also am speculating that this cycle starts again with grandchildren.

It does start again with Grandchildren... see Gunners9 as an example!! Sorry Gunners9, it was too easy.. HAHA

BEST laugh of my day!!!  Excellent observation and it's true.  

For me, it's never, but it doesn't seem to stop me from posting...

What are you offering as evidence, that any adults are posting here? Ha!!!!!!

For me - a dad who was wound up way too tight for way too long about select soccer - the transition hit when my oldest daughter was going into 10th grade. I remember thinking "This is all just kids' soccer!" By her senior year in high school, I could watch games and joke with those around me, win or lose.

With my second daughter, I didn't get sucked into the hoopla for a second. Now I either post relevant information or throw a little gas on a brushfire (such fires are not hard to find on this forum). Just depends on how I feel that day. But I sure don't take it seriously at all.

On the downside, there are parents (primarily dads) that never can distance themselves from it all; whether it be their first child or fourth. That's just piling misery upon oneself in my opinion.
