So my DD has been battling her way through some major fear issues - lost all her back tumbling in Dec. and I am sooo proud of her for just keeping on keeping on and working through it. She is an amazing kid with great determination and I DO tell her that. But tonight, the night she nails her first layout 1/2 in two months, I am filling my third alter-ego role at the gym "mock meet". I am judge. (we have a small gym and in an effort to keep us going I am not only gym mom, I am board member, judge, sub coach). So instead of jumping up and down high fiving, I'm saying: "That was Great but, I had to deduct points..." GOD I hate making my kid cry! Nights like tonight I just want to be only the mom again...
 
I feel for you. I am a teacher and alot of people ask me why don't I teach at my daughters school, wouldn't it be easier. Answer - I just want to be her mum. I do coach at gym but I have an agreement not to coach her. We fall out LOL. Did you tell her afterwards that inside you were jumping up and down and screaming YEAH BABY!
 
Gotta be a tough position! I coached rec classes at the gym, but could never coach my own dd--way too hard!
 
Thanks for understanding - and of course we danced about it after and it is all good. I am jsut so proud of her! Thanks again.:)
