Well, I care because I'm supposed to. Trying to enforce the TOS is a big part of what moderators do.
It's here because someone started it here and chit chat is supposed to be kind of a grab bag.
Guess we'll just disagree, as usual, on the rest.

Very true, and I probably should have added that the parents who stay at dance practice never pull up a chair and watch -- they might peer in through the window every now and then, but that's it. They read or visit.
If I'm the hanging around parent, I go to the comic shop next door and get my geek-fill.

Unfortunately my D's studio wasn't like that at all. These were cut-throat Mama's who sat and observed with an eagle eye, taking notes and commenting on who needs to watch their weight (they all looked anorexic to me) and whose "turn out" wasn't as good as it should be. I tried to sit and quilt there but their behavior made me sick so I had to leave and come back an hour later.
These were high school age girls!

And I'm afraid that because we no longer have or use any boundaries for what normal or healthy involvement is, parents like this, or whatever like this is for the activity, are more and more common.

Actually that's a completely fair response, Delt - thanks.
