I am really fucking pissed off.
Why do people have to be told they're fucking wonderful all the fucking time, just for doing something to help their own fucking kids???!
As you may know, I volunteered to manage the big boys footy team this season, but I can tell you that if I'd known how much fucking bitching I'd have to deal with from parents and bloody club staff, I'd have told them to stick the fucking job up their arses!
The only thing the parents have to do is take turns to wash the jersey's (which I'm thinking of just doing myself because it'd be fucking easier) and each week, one of them has to wear a vest that says duty official and sit with our team supporters and sort out any parents that make comments which might be considered un-sportsmanlike (which rarely happens, so mostly you just sit there and watch the game like everyone else).
Last night in the weekly newsletter, I mentioned that some parents hadn't volunteered for either of these jobs yet and put a list of the people who had and who didn't need to bother helping out this week.
So what happened?
I forgot a couple of people who had helped out and you should have seen the shit fly. I'm not kidding you. I even had a lengthy text message this morning about how someone's husband helps out all the time at home games blah blah.
The stupidest part of it all was that I even said in the note that I knew I'd forgotten a couple of helpers but clearly everyone wants their fucking recognition.
Fuck them all fucking arseholes!
This is what has upset some parents.

Don’t forget! If your Mum, Dad or any other representative of your family has not volunteered to help out with the few small jobs we have as parents and friends of our boys, then this week would be a great week to start. Some families who regularly volunteer have suggested a roster system, but I’d like to give those of you who may be a little bit shy a chance to come over and put your hand up. At the moment with only having away games, we only have to have a volunteer for Duty Official, and also for washing the jersey’s. When we have games at home, we’ll need more helpers with the canteen and time-keeping which means that every few weeks, it will be your turn to do something again. I will not need a volunteer from the families of the following boys:
Shaun, Nathan, Scott, Jay, Sam, Aden, Mav, Brian, Rhett. There may be a couple of others who have helped out whom I have forgotten to mention, but I don’t think it’s fair if it ends up being the same families volunteering each week, so if you haven’t had a go yet, it’s time to get stuck in.
