so proud if my dd I could bymurst

[listsandbudgets]

DD is 12 just gone into year 8. She is so shy she won't even ask for a bill in a restaurant and it was year 5 before she would even ask a question in class.... but she desperately wanted to be in school play. she went for auditions in year 6 and 7 but told me it was so difficult for her she froze and run out of both in tears.

Last night she came home and told me that shes auditioned and got a decent speaking part. Not a main character ( they went to 6th form) but a lovely humourous character part. I didn't even know auditions were on. Now I've just had an email from her drama teacher saying how pleased he is with and how hard shes worked to improve her confidence and acting over the last year

I actually went an had a private sob I am so proud of her..

sorry I know I'm boasting but just so happy for her

If youve got a really shy child theres hope yet

Glad for you both.

Wonderful. Really pleased for you and her.

Ahh that is lovely. Well done to your dd 🤗

Well done to your DD.

Aww, that's amazing.
Well done to your DD, you be proud and burst just a little bit x

Aw how lovely! Good for her! 👍😊

AIBU is a fine place to put it, and, of course, YANBU. It can sometimes be very difficult to say in RL how proud you are without feeling that you are boasting.
Well done DD.
Thanks for sharing.

YADNBU. Well done to her! and have a good old happy sob.

Thank you OP, you've given a lot of people a great deal of fun this morning, though sadly we weren't exactly helpful

Do stick around though, I'm liking your style.

Whoops, completely the wrong thread, I do apologise.

Well done to your DD though

It’s a perfectly fine AIBU. And well done to your DD!

That's is wonderful!

Ahhh lovely this actually brought a tear to my eye !

That's wonderful news, OP, and all the better that she had the confidence to take the initiative and audition all by herself, without telling anyone. This is a massive development for her and you must be so surprised and happy.

That's amazing!! I can see why you're so proud, bless her for doing this all on her own too. Best of luck for rehearsals and hope she really enjoys performing. 😊

Hurray!!! A good news thread. Well done DD and you have every right to be proud. THank you for sharing .......

Wonderful! Great to hear some good news .

Wonderful, well done her. Confidence is so important.

Bloody brilliant!

I hope she has a wonderful time.

nice one :-)

Aww that's brilliant! Well done to your daughter, what a great achievement.

That's lovely, congratulations and well done!

Well done her! I'm a shy person but I always loved doing plays at school. I think acting gives you an escape from being yourself for a little while.

@JaneJeffer you are so right. Acting is very good for shy people. A lot of professional actors are actually very shy but feel more confident when they are playing a role. One of my children is very shy and was stunned (and initially anxious) on being given a lead role in a play recently. But loved the experience and is very keen to do more.

That's lovely! You should be proud!! It's actually brought a little tear to my eye! Mind you, I am due on any second!!!
