Attended DDs first sports day this week and I was so happy to see and hear all of the children and (most of the) adults cheering on all of the dc, if one fell/tripped or wasn't as fast as the the rest of the group there was lots of cheering for them and they were so visibly happy.
About half way through, one year 5 dc didn't win his race and immediately dropped the ground crying. Parents jumped up, dad dragging the boy up telling him he didn't try hard enough and mum (well known mlm SHE-E-O, Regina George type) screaming at the teacher because it was the whistles fault her dc didn't win... her tantrum when he also didn't get the sportsmanship medal at the end was something special too 🙄
Thank goodness there was no parents race!
