DD (10) wants to be a pop star when she grows up - the only problem is she is a truly DREADFUL singer; she literally cannot sing a single note in tune. Earlier in the year she was bugging me to let her audition for BGT and I said no as I thought it could be humiliating/upsetting for a young child. But as the weeks went on and she was getting more and more obsessed about it I relented and said that she could fill the form in, in the assumption that she'd never get picked for an audition anyway and so it would be a non-issue.
Well she's only just got a bloody audition! (she doesn't know this yet). It's early on a Saturday morning, miles away from where we are and we're going to have to stand there for hours and hours and she will be bored stiff - at the best she'll get to sing one verse and they'll politely say no thanks, at the worst she might be laughed at. Absolutely NOTHING is going to come of it but she's really going to get her hopes up :( So do I let her go, so that she at least has the experience and will know that I am supporting her - but this runs the risk of her being really disappointed. Or do I shield her from it all (she's a sensitive little soul) and not tell her that she got the audition? (she has forgotten all about it, tbh).
I know I shouldn't have let her apply in the first place but I really thought that nothing would come of it - and I can't change that now :(
WWYD?!
