Yeah, we all know better than the parent.

I've got a good idea. Let's conservatives allow parents to guide their own children's lives! I am not sure Bindi needs our village to raise her. Not sure her parent needs our village to judge her and point out the errors of her ways. Maybe our village should legislate Bindi's raising since we know better than mom.

You make a very good point. Some kids love to perform.

"It's a part of her life, it's like ballet is to another girl."

My daughter loves ballet. She has done the Nutcracker for six years in a row, did 21 performances this year and looks forward to next Nutcracker. She dances five days a week, and is currently trying out for summer programs at different ballet schools. She would not have it any other way. She is the one doing the pushing, not me. Let the parents decide. They sometimes are right. Even if she doesn't make it to the pro level, she will have learned so many life lessons that the average kid doesn't learn, it will all be worth it.

Thank you !
