Soccer Mom DON'Ts

  • Don't forget to bring a snack for the children who are on the sidelines watching the game.
  • Don't forget to bring a drink for the other members of the family.
  • Don't forget to have plenty of things to occupy the baby and sister while the game is going on.
  • Don't bring anything that you don't want covered in grass, dirt, goose/dog poop, or get wet.
  • Don't forget to dress warmly.

Most importantly:

  • DON'T bring bubbles to the field. Even if you think the wind will carry them in a different direction and your baby will be distracted, inevitably, the players on the field who are 5 and 6 years old will be distracted as well, and rookie soccer mommy will be fussed at. (Just like the Far Side comic strip: "Oooh! Goldfish!")

Just sayin'.
