[quote=Anonymous]BTDT. DS is 7 and has been dancing for 2 years. My father and FIL are the worst. After about the third "ballet is for girls" comment out of my dad, I shut him down hard right in front of DS and everyone else in the room. My mom (bless her) then jumped in and backed me up. We haven't had any other issues. So I second that you have to be willing to stop being polite in order to protect your child and stand up for your child and his self-esteem. DS plays team sports too. But I remember him complaining about how tired his legs used to be after ballet in the early days. It was way more demanding on him physically than soccer. Ballet takes strength, coordination, and a sense of music and choreography. It's worthy of their respect. [/quote]
