Message: [QUOTE="Patman, post: 644916, member: 16962"] I don't think it matters if it's racing or just riding, spending time with your kid(s) as a parent is THE most important thing any parent could do. Heck it could even be soccer or fishing it doesn't really matter what activity, it's the time and interaction that's important. Since your child likes to ride/race why would his mother deprive her own child of something that they enjoy and are obviously good at? STUPID and SELFISH. Injury is part of ANY activity, fishing you could get a hook in your hand, face, neck... soccer has plenty of twisted ankles and bloody noses, even broken arms. Also any of the team sports is typically you on the side lines and your kid interacting with somebody else. Now I guess origami is possible but those darned paper cuts can get nasty and well maybe your child doesn't like making paper swans so it's not exactly "quality" time. So what could be better than your child spending time with you either riding or working on the bike? Then a few laps racing, then back in the pits for more interaction on what the bike might need or what the child felt, or God forbid no wrenching and just quality time. :laugh: Oh and lets not even go look at how your child might actually have a grat time and build self confidence at a time when they need it most. Your Ex is being a bitch and she's going to hurt the child more than you. What a great mom. :silly: [/QUOTE]
