Embarrassing, Awkward, Football, Soccer and Kids: Shame! Shame! Shame!

Shame! Shame! Shame!

Today, I went to my son's school soccer game. Unfortunately, I couldn't get excited about it because my idiot son kept diving the moment anyone so much as breathed on him. It eventually earned him a penalty shot that won him the game. I was so ashamed, I snuck out to avoid being seen with him. FML

Today, I went to my son's soccer game. I cheered his name at the top my lungs and waved with a grin on my face. I saw him whisper something to a team mate so I watched the film my husband took later that night. His friend asked, "Who is that?" and my son replied, "I don't know some fat bitch." FML

Today, I went to the pool with my son. One moment I'm sitting down, applying sunscreen to my legs, and the next I look up to see him squatting on the diving board, seconds before dropping a deuce into the pool. As we got kicked out, he screamed that it was my fault. FML

Today, after soccer practice I was looking for my dad. Last night he was an hour late, so I was pretty pissed. When I spotted him, I saw him flirting with a much younger woman. I then tried throwing my soccer ball to his feet, but ended up slamming his head. Only to find out he wasn't my dad. FML

Today, at a soccer game held by my girlfriend's family, some idiot went to kick the ball, missed by a mile, and hit the ground hard. So I started a slow, sarcastic clap. I got a load of angry looks, followed by verbal abuse when we found out he'd split his head open on the ground. FML

Today, I went to my son's high school play. The moment I arrived at the auditorium, I shouted out his name to let him know I made it. Thinking I was a student, a teacher yelled, "SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN!" Scared out of my mind, I quickly obeyed, to mass giggling from the kids. FML

Today, I argued heavily with my dad over being dragged to a family game of lacrosse. All through the game, he kept "accidentally" hurling the ball straight at me on the sideline. After he eventually nailed me straight in the heart, he screamed at me to "get out of the fucking way". FML

Today, my ex's mom got a job as our new soccer coach and recognized me from our New Year's party last year. She made me, and me alone, do 10 laps around the field in the rain for breaking her son's heart. FML

Today, during a soccer game, some utter moron got the bright idea of trying to score a goal from his side of the field. I sarcastically made a big show of just barely stopping the ball, and nailed it off to the side. The ball hit a kid so hard in the head that he had to go to the hospital. FML

Today, my son, who to my great shame is a typical bully, was suspended for bullying a disabled girl. Her father must have been the biggest, meanest, most tattooed ex-marine I've ever seen. He blamed me for bad parenting, and I actually peed myself a little in fear, which he saw too. FML

Today, I went shopping with my two sons and my wife. We got separated after a while, and I spotted my son in the video game section of the store. I snuck up behind him and playfully slapped him on the back of the head. The kid turned around and it wasn't my son. His mom was none to happy. FML

If his little, it sounds pretty adorable; if he's older, he's a strategic asshole.

Welcone to soccer. I got in trouble for trying to be a tough guy and not taking dives. Its part of the game. Be proud if he was halfway believable

if you ain't cheatin' you ain't Tryin? And don't worry too much, dives are easy to spot - I played in a rec league this past summer where the sidelines kept bursting into full applause when one of the guys kept taking dives. just make sure to coach him to roll around in pain holding the wrong leg after. . .

Ashamed of your kid? You could've taught him better. Shame on you.

That is considered a game well played in the professional league

It's a shame that this is all people see from professionals on TV, so they think it's the way to play

I'm sorry but I don't care if you're american but as a Brit it is my duty to tell you that it is 'football' not 'soccer'. Tell your son that it's the winning that counts and it doesn't matter what he dies to get there.

The people in this comment section are a bunch of assholes...Every comment saying he shouldn't call his son an idiot and that the kid's just being a kid is thumbed way down. You guys need to grow up. And so does the OP.

It sounds like your son doesn't like playing soccer. Did you force him into it just because you like it?

I don't think I get it. He was diving a lot, and that eventually lead to him getting the winning shot of the game? If that's correct, then why would OP be embarrassed? I'm really sorry, I'd appreciate it a lot if someone could explain.

As a former soccer player, there was nothing more annoying than an opposing player diving and acting hurt just to get the ball. Most of the time, they couldn't get the ball on their own, so they did this to get a foul and the ball handed to them.
