So I was on the phone with an aunt of mine. She has an 8 year kid. I was telling her that NBC has a casting call (at first I said, "Talent thing") for kids 4-11 that she should put her kid in. She told me that her child has no talent and that she's not going to let her child embarrass herself. So let me back up a bit.
My aunt always talks about how she wants to give her kid things that she didn't have growing up. She wants for her child to be a straight A student that is smart, has common sense, and is very intelligent etc. And I will say that she is a pretty smart kid for her age but the thing is how can you snatch an opportunity like that away from her child before it's even given a chance to flourish. This isn't your opportunity it's for your child and if you really want to give this child something give her the opportunity to show her talent or non talent abilities.
This particular aunt often criticizes her sisters for not giving their kids these sorts of opportunities but she's doing the same thing. She says she often watches her sisters and how they raised their children and that she won't do the same to her child however she's really just learning how to do everything her sisters do. It's annoying. She's the main one always being critical yet there's a problem when everyone else does it to her.
It's sad and she'll find herself regretting it later on.
