I Can Lead A Horse To Water…
As a Mom, it is very frustrating when you see such potential in a child and they do nothing with it. For example, I see a talent for swimming. It’s not only I who sees it, a swim team coach noticed it enough that they send an invite to one of my children.
I don’t mind the driving and the waiting. I have my books to read. But when a child would thoughtlessly let me drive half an hour round trip only to announced that they’d rather not go to swim team…right when we’re outside the door to the pool.
I am not really mad, but quite disappointed since there isn’t any other reason than wanting to say no. It’s a power play, I supposed. I just don’t get it, and I am still stump how to deal with it. When I’m not dealing, I stay quiet because I think it’s better than going off in the mouth and saying something I might regret.
