[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry for your troubles.

My kids are younger- oldest is 8- but I can't imagine being this upset myself about something like this (I can't imagine having that much ownership over their activity that I'd be that upset). I don't mean this as a criticism, but I am curious, is that just the way  I am or is it because my kids are little? For instance, the oldest has been dancing for 5 years now and I'd be bummed in some ways but not really...[/quote]

I think music is a bit different in that EVERY adult I have ever talked to about this says " I wish I had not quit or I wish my parents had not let me quit." So, I think it is more that as a parent you are sad for the adult child who will regret this or will have never realized their full talent; they don't really appreciate what they are giving up. ( And by talent, I just mean their best ability- not public performing talent.)

Our goal is to just keep them playing through the rough patches but I so get the frustration, time and expense![/quote]
