I'm stubborn by nature but I think DS is going too far on this. Basically he's very much into his performing arts and has always taken part in performances at school, often getting the main part. He played the part of Joseph in the year1 primary nativity play, Joseph again in year 3, The main part in a smaller play in year 4, Joseph in a citywide nativity at the city hall when he was in year 5 and he played the main part in the year 6 leavers play.
When he started secondary school he joined the drama club and was disappointed to get a 'moderate' part in the summer performance. This Christmas the club are performing Scrooge and he went for auditions last week and today found out he'd got a small part with 2 lines to say. He was expecting to get the part of Scrooge. Because of this he's now refusing to have anything to do with the christmas performance or the drama club in general until next year.
I think this is a bit bratty! ok so he's almost 13 and can make his own choices in these things but AIBU to tell him he shouldn't be so stubborn and do the performance anyway? I mean, we don't always get what we want in life but we still have to take part!?
