he is going to look back when he is older and go wtf was I trying to do?
Gina, kids do not do this on their own. Look at the damn programs for 4 year old beauty queens.
There is a big difference between fathers that take their children both boys and girls out with them when they do work on a truck or tractor. Big difference when a parent teaches a child to cook or sew, paint or sculpt.
Some of our best entertainers were born in a trunk, as kids they watched their parents entertain all over the country. They worked behind the scenes for years until they had mastered the parents craft.
Today we see these kids that need to be in school to be come educated years before they can claim they have a carear in anything. Parents are pushing to make the kids Minnie-them in a time far different from their own.
No parent can or should claim their child at pre teen has any kind of carear. Kids need to feel their way about and decide for themselves after years what they are best suited for.-------Screw the parents-----what they want for the child may be the worse thing for them.
My two boys when it came time for them to go into the military, their father had been a Sub Sailor, born and raised into the Silent Service. One went to Merchant Marine Academy, the other into the Army.
We as parents could have Pushed they go into the fathers profession, both sons would have as both were eligible for that service due to their grades on tests.
However both had their own talents and ideas that were outside their fathers profession.
These Poor kids being forced into the lime light to at a very early age to get into the same carear as their parents is a recipe for disaster.
WTF are they doing there but to please the parent, no wonder a 12 year old looks spaced out.
