I was wondering what to do with the Boxing Fixation ...last time I would go after them for reading their Bible of Football and hide their football every night without fail and it had the Contrary Effect ….my kids went Krazy for football …. every day for the last few days I would wonder about How to get the kids OFF boxing ….
and then suddenly ...just like that ...
Boxing is Off !!!!!!!!
the new friend they had made is a huge JP and LP fan and Boxing was his idea …. both that kid and mine went to different boards and schools …. finally those kids dumped a friend my kid had introduced to the group
and the differences started ….
it became a school thing and the collaboration is sooo Off …
when discussing what happened and how it happened and everything else …. I voiced howwww horrible Boxing can get to be …. no matter if it is Amateur ….. luckily the elder kid agrees on most things I suggest ….
Phewww…. that was that
however the most surprising thing was the networking and crowd support boys get ...the minute their friends got wind of an event being organised around a Boxing match …. out came a friend who is into Football and is a State Level Boxer !!!
the last school my kids went to was an IB board and the friends the elder kid made are his big fans too …. ergo he is used to making decisions ...it was educative for him to deal with older kids and getting into a situation where those boys were not in favour with his designing ….
another thing I was worried about was ...Not knowing the parents of these new kids …. I know the parents of all their other friends and I know who my kids should not call during exam time …. as I know what each parent's goal for their kids are ….
meeting and discussing and setting the rate for hiring a venue and everything else that went into organising an event …. I take it as practical application of what they learn from text books ...
ergo it was not time wasted … plus the elder kid got a brush with dealing with people older than him ….
the little one is still boxing in the air …. hoping that will stop soon … hmmmm
and I seriously Hope ...Fauzy Tube gets well and returns to YouTube …. he is any day better... than the others out there …
as for me ….I learnt how peer pressure can be a Force to reckon with …. vehemence and force to deal with peer pressure can have weird outcomes at times …. ergo I was waiting to see how this would pan out ...as every time I wanted to meet his new friends …. something would come up and I never got to meet those kids and talk to them ...
