Would you let Kobe Bryant tutor your teenage daughter?

He didn't go to college, and isn't all that smart, (1080 SAT score apparently). If you mean would he be unqualified for the job because of sexual allegations, then sure, as long as she was an older teenager, i'd be proud if she could fuck Kobe Bryant.

Could it be that maybe the coach is giving your daughter and the rest of the team each a trophy as if to say "Thank You"... Or to express something like "We may have lost the playoffs, but you're all winners to me and you all deserve a trophy!"  For a coach to go out of his way to do that, he obviously thought quite well of your daughters team, thus the trophies... HIS winners.\n\nI could understand you as parent catching heck for it... I would've told you off as well, for putting a damper on the spirits of these girls...  Sure they may have ranked last place...  But the coach saw them all as champion players...  Ever heard of an MVP award?  That's pretty much what the coach AWARDED them ALL with.\n\nYou know, with the fact that you had a problem with this, it makes me wonder...  When the league was over, did you approach your daughter and say "CONGRATULATIONS!!!  You're a bunch of losers!!!", or did you say something like "You're always a winner to me."?  Hmmm???\n\nUnless the coach is abusive to your daughter, I'd say mind your own business and get over it... It's not like he caused any problem, as you have for objecting to his good nature... What you could've said instead was "You got a trophy???  Aww!  That's so nice of the coach!"

My wife has problems controling our 12 year old daughter also. The punishement that works best with her is me! LOL! I give that deep "DAD" voice that makes her tremble and she straightens up. I know thats not helping you out much but it's not really the punishment that keeps her in control, it's the seriousness in my voice that she hears and knows I WILL FOLLOW THROUGH with whatever punishment I am telling her I am going ot give to her if she doesn't straighten up....and if she doesn't, I do follow through with the punihemnt no matter how much I don't want to. Good luck!! I have a 19 year old daughter also so they do make it through these tough times!

sounds to me like it wouldnt be very 'easy' for her to gain custody of the 13 yr old. she has a lot of things going against her like lying to the courts in the past about how many kids she has, how some dont even live with her besides this boy, etc. but its hard to say. i just hope that the boy is happy and loved where he is now and wont become a pawn

The second offer sounds good,but I wouldnt want my daughter knowing that mommy sleeps with different men every night for money.What kind of a role model would I be setting for my little girl.I know it would be hard,but I would stay with the regular paying job and then get a second one if possible to help get the bills paid.

No. Remember that there are always three sides to every story.\n\nYou can treat two kids exactly the same, and they will react differently, so who knows how she's taking it -- you will have to be the best judge of her character.\n\nAlso, your upbringing may affect her now, but also how she behaves in the future (as an adult), indeed it may have a strong effect on the way she brings up her own kids.\n\nYou can never tell, only do what you think is best for her and society.  She can rebel or embrace.  You cannot be responsible after a certain point.\n\nI am sure she will do you proud, eventually -- the path will not be perfectly smooth, but overall I am sure you have given her all the tools to do a good job.

I have coached a lot of players this age as a professional trainer. The three main ingredients for success are probably talent, drive and luck and if your daughter has all three she has a good shot. Supportive (but not overly aggressive!) parents certainly helps.\n\nSuggestions:\n\nMake sure she plays on a 'high profile' club or select team that enters tournaments where college coaches are likely to attend. Visibility is the key, particularly in those last two HS years.\n\nIf she hasn't already she needs to develop personal training habits so that fitness levels and (equally important) skill and first touch levels are constantly maintained and improved.\n\nMake sure your daughter knows her strengths and as much as possible ensure the coach plays her in positions that emphasis her strengths.\n\nCollege based soccer camps are good shop windows\n\nEncourage your daughter by all means but she needs to be self motivated or this will not happen. If she loves the game and is fortunate enough to have knowledgable, caring coaches she has every chance.\n\nFinal thought - allow her some time to be a youngster and to enjoy life. All work and no play - well you know...\n\nGood luck!

Teach them to mind their parents.

I doubt very much that your daughter would agree to any form of family counselling to help resolve things, but this is one thing that may help.  By having a non-partial mediator discuss things in an open and mature manner would allow everyone involved to speak their mind and help sort things out perhaps.  Perhaps you could try and inform your daughter that this would be the greatest gift that she ever gave you for Christmas by agreeing to attend such sessions.  I'm certain also that you would like to be escorted to your daughter's wedding by her father and with all these unresolved issues I'm willing to bet that you'll be going stag.  Inform your little girl that although her dad did make a mistake that you have forgiven him and that everyone should be given a second chance if they have so deserved it.  Best of luck to you and your family as a whole.

Sometimes as teenagers have to learn the hard way. Let them bump their head but as a parent be their to give her the bandage and never tell her I told you so.

I think this situation will be a growing process for Odom. Life is more than Basketball, however basketball can give him the motivation to do something positive for other Parents who lost their child in a similar situation as his.

I would teach them both sides, and when they are older, they can choose the right path for them, even if it is completely different than your two.
