It’s no secret that soccer mums can be feisty, but this altercation between two soccer mums actually has nothing to do with the game on the pitch.

A soccer mum has taken to an online forum, to ask whether she was in the wrong for not watching a fellow soccer mum’s younger child.

“My 13 year old plays soccer,” she said. “There is one particular mum who has a younger girl not on the team, maybe seven or eight-years-old.”

She explained that the mum of the younger girl is a ‘gentle parent’.

“The kid is an absolute brat and does whatever she wants. During games if mum gets ‘touched out’ as she calls it and basically is overwhelmed and needs a break from her own kid she’ll just walk away and assume the other soccer parents will supervise.

“I don’t feel like I am responsible for her kid so I won’t supervise.”

The situation came to a head recently when the young girl got herself into mischief while her mum wasn’t around.

“Last weekend Crunchy Mum walked away and left little Meri sitting next to me. Meri decides to run out on the field and obviously got trampled. Crunchy Mum comes running over furious with ME because I should have been watching her as I knew she stepped away.

“Mind you she never asked if I’d watch her just assumed I would because I also have younger kids (two and 11 months). I explained that I too was ‘all touched out’ by her kid who thinks she can climb all over ANYONE get into everyone’s stuff so I too was taking a break from her kid at that time.

“So Am I the a**hole? Is it my duty to watch someone else’s kid because our older boys are on the same soccer team?”
