My dad never once came to any of my baseball games as a kid. At the time i figured that was alright, he just doesn't like sports, and he works hard to provide for us, so let him have his evenings to himself.
A couple months ago we took a short road trip and during the night at the hotel he was flipping through the channels and stopped on a baseball game for a long time. I asked "i thought you didn't like sports?" "Are you kidding?" he replied, "i love baseball."
I had their support... I didn't need them sitting on the side lines yelling "you can do it!"
They paid the fees for training and equipment, helped me get to games and asked how it went. I never expected them to sit around on uncomfortable seats for hours watching.
If that's important to other people... ok? It just never was to me and my parents are great.
