Have you seen sports moms and dads on Bravo? I saw it for the first time last night.

Here is a low down if you missed it:

• Football dad who has underachieved in his own life but is convinced is 10 year old is going to the NFL—no joke Mom wears son’s jersey to game
  
• Cheerleader mom who sends child to 3 hours of hip-hop dance class and has her on two competitive cheer teams. Girl’s goal is to be a national all-American (or whatever the distinction is). Coach gives her a hard time for not landing the final pyramid thingy—basically says she blew it for the team (which took 2nd). Girl is a about 7.
  
• Skater mom. She was the worst. She watches her son’s practices and grimaces every time he falls. She said something about how everytime he falls, she thinks of how much money she is spending on coaches/ice time etc. Son admits that having mom watch makes him anxious, but mom is so anxious at competitions that she NEVER watches. Mother went into a 4-day depression and barely talked to the son when he fell at a regional competition that excluded him from junior nationals (he ends up getting to go as an alternate after all).
  
• Basketball mom/coach. Daughter is talented, but coach is barking at her and others. She is very hard on her. Daugher says she tries to do what her mom says so she doesn't have to listen to her.
• Equestrian mom. She is going through a divorce and most likely will have to sell the horses. She morgaged her house to buy them and said to her daughter that this was her college fund (aka, you need to get a scholarship). She is the most normal, though.
