re: Couple of pics of my daughter from A-Con

Based on the lamp and Fleur De Lis pic on the wall I bet there’s a “Live Laugh Love” sign or at the very least a cute writing about wine somewhere in your house

Nice abs. Butterface.

Tell her to stick with and help her persevere through some testing times but, I'd bet she has a bright future ahead as a Hollywierd costume designer. She's already got the talent to beat a bunch of those on that Fox or Syfy show about costuming!

Fame and Fortune are within her reach with this kind of talent.

While impressive/cool and all (I can’t do this), I hope she is getting top grades in school (assuming she still is) before she puts this much effort (looks like a lot) into these costumes. School first. All this second. Hope you have taught her this and she is delivering the grades before picking up a paintbrush.

While I predict I will get downvotes to hell for this statement, the vast majority of American society today thunderously applauses these types of activities (which is why I will get downvoted for dare saying to prioritize school first) but crickets when children do well in school. The child then naturally thinks the right path for success is to prioritize hobbies (includes sports) over school. People who do this actually sentence their child to a harder life than it needs to be.

There are success stories when it comes to kids who put a ton of effort into sports, music, etc but what are the odds? Astronomically small. Almost statistically zero. Your child better be Mozart.

I’m reminded of school age children who put a tremendous amount of time in what should be hobby type activities. Video games, sports, music, dancing, etc. Of what value is it at the expense of school?

All these activities are great, but school is first. Ace that and then put time into this other stuff. If you don’t do well in school, you will be a slave to the system. A life of mediocrity at best. Kids don’t know this. As a parent, you must teach her this.

Cool costumes but she better be a straight A student. If she’s not, would you not agree that she should put the time she puts into these costumes into school instead? Unless she has a learning disability, school is not hard to get straight As. All it takes is putting in sufficient time. Granted some people are smarter than others but being smart just means they need less time to learn something.

All of this doesn’t matter though if they marry rich without a prenup and have children right away or have a substantial trust fund they can’t drain at will.

How can I be such a a-hole, some on this forum will scream? I almost fell victim to putting too much time into non-learning related activities when I was younger. Got lucky and realized it before it was too late. I’ve also seen plenty of others successfully waste their life.

Time is the most valuable commodity you have. Spend it wisely.

Again, these costumes look great, but I hope she is putting first things first.

Course if you’re Ok with being an average schmuck or your children, I can’t stop people from doing and promoting that.

Now, all those promoting making costumes, sports, etc. over school, downvote away. You schmucks.

why did you bother to type all that?

She's a straight A student. She also works and has more money in the bank than most at her age. She has her shite together.

She is very talented for sure.

Worst take ever.

I’ll take the bait on risk of a ban because this forum is a waste of my time as well and should take my own advice.

I think of the same thing when I see what their culture praises and puts effort into. Sport and the importance placed on it is a huge anchor around the average black kid’s neck. What does the vast majority who put a ton of time into it at the expense of school ultimately get out of it? They live in the Gardere area if they are lucky.
