Aly Raisman’s Crazy Boston Parents Are Awesome

US Gymnast Aly Raisman is from Boston. You would never know it unless you saw or heard her parents. And you should, because they’re the best. They’re so Boston that Ben Affleck just adopted the whole family. posted on July 29, 2012 at 10:07pm EDT

I loved it! The parents of Olympians are stealing the 2012 Olympics! They aren’t obsessive or psychotic. They are parents of an Olympian. I’d be freaking out too and twitching like they were.

As a parent of an athlete, I can honestly say I have never acted this crazy. I’m surprised they weren’t upside down by the end.

Not to be that person, but they’re from Needham, not Boston. Needham is an affluent suburb.

How in the world are these two freaks “adorable” or “cute”..? They’re two obsessive parents watching their star daughter compete in the Olympics. I bet they act the same way in bed with each other.

I like these parents more than the ones that cover their eyes and cower when their kids are performing. I’m looking at you, John Orozco’s mom.

adorable? hm. seems more like this girl worked from the time she was five to now to be in the olympics because her parents are psychotic. too bad her mom couldn’t have made it when she was a girl, maybe then they wouldn’t have pushed their kid so hard.
