[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a parent isn't their own child's biggest fan, who will be??[/quote]

I'm my kids' biggest fan, but not delusional one bit about their athletic abilities, which are very little.  You can be a fan and not be delusional about their abilities.  I will cheer them on, tell them to keep trying, they are doing great, but I know they are not the best athlete...and they know they are not the best athlete.[/quote]

Sure, but I still think my own kid is the best. Don't you know what I mean? My kid's mediocre talents are a hundred times more precious than your kid's "travel team" nonsense. That's just how it goes.[/quote]

Your kid's talent being precious to you is not the same as what OP is stating, meaning the parent thinks their kid *really* is the best.  And no, I don't know what you mean... I love my DCs, but I'm not delusional about their abilities or their behavior.  They aren't perfect, and I would never put them on a pedastal only to eventually fall very far off of it. No human being is perfect. I see the warts and all in me, my DH and my kids, and I still love them.[/quote]
