My son is playing JV baseball.  Last night it was 6:45 before we left school.

  6:45!!!!!!!!!!!!

I realize that I am not used to the “sports world” and there are lots of things I don’t know, but what I fail to understand is why we don’t have a set time for practice to be OVER.  These kids are practicing every day after school.  Do I ever know what time he’s going to finish?  No.  He calls when he’s ready for me to come get him. 

I cannot tell you what a pain in the ass this is. 

This past nine weeks, my son had a C–missed a B by one point–and therefore has to attend study hall after practice on Tuesday and Thursday nights.  (That’s why he was so late last night.)  I wouldn’t have a problem with that either, IF we had a set time for practice to be over.  I spent forty-five minutes in the parking lot last night, seething.  Though I know that it’s going to mortify my son, I’ve decided that a talk with the coach is in order.  This willy-nilly I’ll call you when it’s time to come and get me crap is for the birds.

Is this normal?  Does anyone know?  Is this just par for the course and I need to get over it?
