Rant: Michael Phelps Mom
I know it's not her fault, it's NBC's fault for putting her on TV so much, so I feel bad for saying this. But I hate the women. Hate her. Please go away. Forever.

I met her nine years ago at the 2000 Olympic Trials, when Phelps qualified for the 200 fly as a fifteen year old. My friends and I were blown away that a fifteen year old was able to qualify for the olympic team, and voiced that opinion. Phelps' mom was sitting right in front of us, and we talked to her for 10 minutes or so about Phelps, and swimming in general. She seemed nice enough then. Maybe being the mother of the greatest olympian of all time has changed her, but I doubt it.

The TV people can drive anything into the ground, they could make you sick of Mother Theresa even. But when I was watching that last night, I actually teared up because everyone realizes, or should, the hours and hours that HE has put into practice and meets, but you know that she is the one who has been there every step of the way. Probably starting with taking him to swimming lessons when he was a wee lad and culminating with this. I cannot imagine how proud she must be and happy for him. As a parent, all you want is for your kid to be happy and for him to be able to achieve what he did is amazing.

And if not for locking him in the basement without dinner when he would come in second, he might never had developed the character to become a success.tothebeach08 wrote:The TV people can drive anything into the ground, they could make you sick of Mother Theresa even.

Anyway, I'd be happy too because her son is about to make some serious cash in endorsments.

If that were my kid doing what Phelps did, you'd hate me too.
