Re: Help! - I don't want to have to hurt someone..
To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't know! I was not a cheerleader or on the dance team <perish the thought!> so have no clue about the mothers, but I can imagine. Preferably, my future daughter's would enjoy sports, or the indoor activities (like Chess or Math club) over cheerleading or dance. I'd be one of those mothers looking down my nose at the cheer moms, because having my daughter wear the quarterback's letter jacket is just not my goal in life.

Girls that play soccer intimidate the boys! My stepdaughter (12) plays on a U14 coed team and they are all scared to death of her.

My youngest is a girl scout and the other Troop mothers are really horrible.
I volunteer for everything, join in with everything but am still completely and snottily excluded from nearly everything they do.

More than the score, I was struck by how agressive and fearless the girls were. There were boys lying all over the place.

No idea. There are a couple who are the worst and the others just seem to follow them.
We had a similar thing with ice skating classes but thankfully she dropped that activity.
The nicest parents are the equestrian team mums and dads. We have a blast wherever we go and they are all so nice.
(I also have found most of the other cheer mums to be really nice and normal and uncompetitive ...she said, running for cover)

Years ago I read a post in the Usenet high-end audio group. The author had a very expensive system - full range Martin Logan speakers, Mark Levinson amps, etc. Whenever his teenage daughter brought a boy home, dad showed off the stereo, and any thoughts of hanky-panky were immediately displaced.
