My son just turned 2. I miss the days when my daughter was 2. Didnāt enjoy them enough contemporaneously, was more worried about getting through each day.

When mine were little I lived by: If they are sleepin dont wake em up. If they are eating let em eat as much (good) food as they wanted
And the rest just semi controlled mayhem

Thatās basically the mantra in our house. Oldest in 2.5 youngest in 1yr. So nap cycles never match up, sleeping through the night for both is spotty.
Agree with @4547Lambeth thereās a lot of just get through the day and survive bedtime. But even in the insanity we try to find individual time etc. with each kid and enjoy them. But every day is an adventure.

Wild article nonetheless
Tough because some of yāall know him from school but none of this has been a good look for Claudio. Best case scenario heās treating the national team like a U10 rec team where his son is entitled to playing time

Claudio is my guy so will have to see how it plays out. We most all agree Gio should have played a much bigger role but yea, I get your point. Not a good look for sure
Edit: like you said it is tough.

Certainly run like one if parents have a direct line to management during tournaments. Regardless of any other judgements or changes that canāt be allowed moving forward. Especially as we are likely to see more and more second generation national team players.

Its crazy how the group of US players and coaches and now kids from my era are so intertwined. From Bruce Arena to all his players that played and became coaches or other things around the game

And thereās some good to be said for it. Can help create an identity and maintain continuity as players come and go. But weāve seen the downside of it over the last month lol especially when you let all of the power become consolidated by one generation of former players
