Don Chase & Sarah’s What Would You Do Wednesday
Hello Don Chase & Sarah: I feel guilty because of something I said when I was tipsy last Saturday. My son plays Little League Baseball on a traveling team. It’s been an exhausting Summerbecause of how much traveling we’ve done. We were away for a game on Saturday when several of the players’ parents got together for a late night drink in the bar. I had several cocktails before blurting out that I hoped the team would lose on Sunday so we could stop traveling and get back to our normal lives. Some of the parents were horrified while the others had looks of agreement on their faces. Several parents took me aside and blasted me for wanting the team to lose. I started to feel guilty, but then remembered how I have been away from my other children all summer and had no ‘Me Time’. The team lost. Should I feel guilty for what I said? Am I not allowed to be honest? Am I a bad parent for what I said?
