[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many bitter people jealous of a small child with a dream. OP, tell your kid that Olympic swimmers work very hard for many years, so if she wants to try for that, she needs to get to work. [/quote] No one is “jealous.” We’re just calling a spade a spade. OP’s own words: “I am THRILLED about her swimming -- she loves it, she's good at it, she's fast. I'm not going to pretend I don't love it.” You can’t talk like that about an 8 year and then say “but, hey no big deal if she quits I’m cool.” OP is really, really into an 8 year old and swimming. [/quote] That's a lot less weird than being really, really into a stranger as their 8 year old. [/quote]
