[quote=Anonymous]I hope this is a joke. That poor little girl who has to go thru life with such a cold, heartless mother! What will you do when she has acne at 15, keep her out of school until her skin clears up? You sound dreadful OP. She needs your unconditional love, encouragement and support to grow into a confident young woman. You seem to be her harshest critic instead of her biggest cheerleader. Watch her performance, she will definitely be looking for you, and try to find positive things to say. She can probably tell you are so critical of her and that is why she is watching the girls around her, trying to be perfect to please you. She needs confidence, not criticism. I really can't believe you'd rather look away than watch your child do something she loves. I was horrible at sports but loved participating. I'd finish a full lane behind the competition in swimming and lose 6-0 6-0 in tennis but my parents were always there cheering for me. I knew I wasn't very good and found other interests by HS but I cannot imagine how painful my childhood would have been if they had made me stop something I loved because of how they felt. [/quote]
