I know why. it makes sense now.
I don't like it, because my parents put me there. After they neglect me and don't give me support for my college education, they brag about me to their friends-- how brilliant their daughter is. on the deans list, etc.
After refusing to support my efforts to become a better violinist, they use my recital repertoire as a trophy, and exhibit, about how talented their daughter is.
no wonder I don't like it. would you?
thanks pseudo for posting that "priveleged child" child thing on parenting board. really helped. wow. I feel-- like it makes a little more sense.

Lrrrp,
I don't like it either. Never thought why. Even when I had "earned" it. Yeah my parents pushed me and bragged about me too. I was told I could have one year at college after that I had to come home no matter how well I did.
Substitute piano for violin. I haven't played in YEARS. I was fairly good. Didn't like limelight.

> Are you my sister?Is it possible we're all three triplets?
I know exactly what you mean llrrrpp. I dont really have anything else to add because it's really not something I've come to terms with yet either, but I definitely understand. If theyre going to ignore and neglect me, I'd rather they at least be consistent! Of course, not being negligent would be ideal....Frustrating, I know.

Boo Hoo to me. My Mother was dead and my Dad didn't care. So no bragging from my parents. Love Phillipa
