Hi More,
I know about as much about bands as you do about baseball. i however tried to stay interested ….. all time thinking what waste he threw away pitching in baseball.
what I think is important is the confidence and support given. in each cases ….what is important is support. Maybe … gainst all odds .. they may succeed. in my case …. my son chose radioligist (not spelled right) …. but point is ….. he eventually saw the odds himself ……. and went to college … took a much more realistic approach …. but had to find that for himself.
I suspect same will happen for you. just support don’t crtitize …… though point out the odds. then say ….. “but I support you”. with any luck ….. your child will find a partner like mine ….. to make them see “the light” and take a more realistic approach.
my prayers are with you. *say a few for me. I can only say ….. support your children ….. no matter what. you never know. my son has 10 pages at my space about his band. he’s all but given up on it in trade for studies. I’m very proud. GF had much to do with that.
good luck. its a long …… hard. …… tough to find the right answers …… to do the right thing. hang in there. don’t give up. don’t be too hard. just supportive. I think in the end……… they find they’re own way.
