It's sad to see kids in high school who clearly want to move on - but momager makes kid feel bad and/or bribes to get them to feis or keep going...even though they get nothing but mediocre placements Seen it. other siblings neglected too. stinks (NT) -- regretful behavior, 09:57:45 09/05/23 Tue

Absolutely -which is why I'm not pressuring my kid to stay in. They are welcome to step down / away . (NT) -- qsz, 10:58:58 09/05/23 Tue

Because sometimes this is the only thing the kid has going for them, and if they quit dance, then they’re going to sit at home alone with nothing to do. If they have other interests they will pursue then go ahead and quit. (NT) -- Jane, 06:39:34 09/06/23 Wed
- agreed - sometimes (definitely not all) a push in the direction of having those goals is a good thing -- C, 08:13:10 09/06/23 Wed
- Agree 100%. My dd took a break in high school and spent her time lying on the couch. I told her she didn't have to go to dance, but she couldn't stay on the couch; she had to engage in physical activity. She chose to go back to dance, danced through sophomore year of college and then got her TCRG. -- .., 14:28:10 09/19/23 Tue
