My DH family have an awful habit of always expecting the kids to stand up and do some sort of entertainment at any family gathering we have. I have watched the older nephews and nieces go through it and now attention is being turned to the younger ones - mine included. It was excrutiating to watch his cousin being forced to read out a speech he gave at school no less than 8 times until he got it right (he is 7 and barely speaks as it is) at a 50th party yesterday. Then listen to him being admonished endlessy for not making enough effort. Does anyone else make their kids play instruments/sing/read poems they have written?
