| "Comparing children to their siblings crushes their spirit. Don't do it, I beg of you. Just because D doesn't talk to you as much as S did, doesn't mean D isn't as nice or intelligent or that she dislikes you. She's just different."
To coach - even though D2 is much more athletic than D1 and has the potential to excel in D1's sport to the extent that you can groom her into a state champion (and you already know it), she will never run for you no matter how hard you try to convince her because she is sick and tired of coaches, gym teachers, academic teachers CONSTANTLY comparing her to her older sister. Seems the only one in the community smart enough NOT to is our pastor, which is why she loves him so much and is looking forward to confirmation..... |
