False hope

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, after suggesting to my daughter for a while that she should try out for a cheerleading team to become more confident, she went to tryouts. She didn't make the team and she's spent the last six hours in her room crying. FML

Now is she upset you pushed her into something she didn't want to do or because she didn't get something you convinced her she could do? Why do parents suggest really specific things? I mean, fair enough suggest stuff for her to get into, but give her a few options and let her pick one she wants to do.

Sorry but that's YDI for convincing her to try out for the team in the first place.

OP, I think the earlier suggestions to try martial arts (Karate, Kung Fu, Tae Kwan Do) would be the best thing. Just make sure the instructor works well with kids.

Don't force your daughter to do something,first off. It's her choice to do something like that,don't have to convince her,self conceived bitch. :l Besides,cheerleading lame,and your daughter may just end up being a *****. ;D

Lmao it's funny when ppl say that just about cheerleaders. I know a girl in volleyball who dp'd and got pregnant and 2 soccer players who aren't virgins. They're freshmen. It's not Just cheerleaders. Stereotypes are annoying.

Are you stupid? It says the mother "suggested" cheerleading. That means that the daughter liked the suggestion.

Cheerleading? Unless your daughter has a background in dance or gymnastics (or is pretty enough for people to ignore her gawkish lack of coordination), YDI big time, woman.

Your daughter is a freakin baby. Tell her to suck it up. No one likes cheerleaders, volleyball's the route to go.
