My daughter signed up to play softball, and wouldn't you know it she was put on the team with the girl who has been giving her so much trouble at school. Long story short, but she was originally supposed to be on a different team, so she was pretty upset when she found out the change. She said she would rather not play than be on the same team. So, as a parent we end up doing things we say we do not like people doing. Yes, I complained and got her moved to a different team. I always hate causing problems for those who volunteer their time and energy, but sometimes your kid comes first.
I was told she was moved to another team, though I haven't heard from that coach, yet and we have heard from others on the team that the first practice is Friday. I may have to call the coach tomorrow and see what is going on.

More from the saga of girls

Sometimes it's such a fine line of when, as parents, we should step into our kids's problems with other kids. We made the mistake of approaching another kid's parents about a situation on the bus and they were very glad we did and talked to their child about it - BUT, for the next week the bus ride was twice as bad as this girl included other friends to pick on my kids because they tattled on her. UGHH!
Life Learning experience here and there will be more to come for her as I'm sure you're aware. It's not always easy to parent! Praying this all works out. I enjoyed scrolling through your blog.
Thanks for entering the caption contest ...come and see who placed!!!
Sometimes it's hard not to step in when you know your child's heart is breaking. It's so hard to know when to and when not too. I hope she has fun playing ball this summmer.
It's times like these I don't want my son to grow up. Although, I survived all the teasing, etc., when I was young, so he should do OK too. I hope.
You have made a very wise decision as you have placed your daughter's happiness and fondness to continue with this sport - hence alocating to a new team.
Good luck
As a parent we often have very fine lines placed before us. Through prayer, we receive guidance and know when to cross them and what battles to fight.
It's all about growing up.
I long for the simple days when the boys were little.

That would be so hard - I'm glad you stuck up for her though, and made a request for a switch.
Sometimes, our children need to be thrown into something to learn, but not in situations like this. She already knows it's painful, and she will probably never do it to someone else!
