tell me what you think about this:
Okay, my boyfriends parents, really are never proud of him.

He takes all honor classes, and has an above 95 in every class,
except one which he has a 92. He spends all his free time studying.
He works sooo hard to impress them, and all he ever gets out of them,
is a "Garrett, you could do better"

He plays baseball and football, sometimes they take sports more
seriously than school. He's the only sophomore starter in football,
and he's great in baseball. They freaked out when he asked to skip
one practice out of one week so he can just have a break for a
couple hours. They usually have practice from 4-6 on Monday & Tuesday,
Wednesday its 4-5:30 cause of church, then 4-7 on Thursday's and Fridays.
They still have football practice also, its 7th hour until June comes around
and its two-a-days morning from 10-1. Evening from 4-7 or 8.

By the time he's home from school/football practice/baseball/ (wednesday) Church/ he still has to go eat, shower, and homework.. & he's gotta be off the phone by 10.. sometimes 9:30. Its horrible sometimes.. When he tries to sit them down & talk to them about what their doing, they don't listen.. I don't want to seem disrespectful towards them, cause they're like a second family but they just don't listen to him. I hate how they make him feel sometimes, he feels like he is never gonna be good enough for them, no matter how hard he tries. It's heartbreaking listening to him talk about
how they're never proud of him, and i never know what to say.. I think
they treat him like this cause of the trouble his older brother has gotten
into.. I just wish they'd realize that he is completely different..

okay well vent DONE.
 
Tough situation. I dont really think you can do anything about it though. Just let your boyfriend know that you're proud of him and support him in sports. And offer to help him with homework and projects and stuff like that
 
They're his parents, they think they're doing what's best for him. One day he'll probably realize that they're right.

Maybe his parents have a hard time showing how proud they are of him. I mean, my parents never physically say 'We're proud of you.' but I know they are. They push me, and it's made me a better person. (Not to sound cliche)

My only advice is for you to be there for him. Make sure he knows he has atleast one person in his life that will openly be proud of him.
 
i think his parents need to relax a bit. or a lot. being that busy cant be the best thing for him. theres not really anything you can do though, just be there for him and dont be as stubborn as his parents. sorry if i sound rude but i hate when people are too stubborn
