- Can you imagine? This is do informative and relatable and makes you want to hug the sender.
- Ugh. Remind me to avoid this Debbie Downer. “tumor” was benign.
- Np it's the proper term, anyone who had that gets it.
- I had breast cancer. I highly doubt the biopsy was of a tumor.
- Tumor is swelling of part of body, does not indicate malignancy

- Tween/Teen DC got one of the leads in the school play and now wants to quit. I'm more upset than he is.
- he can't
- I know but he's not showing up to rehearsals and his heart's not in it this year.
- This has to be fake. A kid who got the lead is not going to bail like this.
- No, he's unhappy with the dynamic of other kids this year and even though he's got the lead, that is not what motivates him.
- np: what does motivate him?
- I'm sure there is someone who would be thrilled to take his place
- He should be motivated to get the job done not that he got the lead
- He actually doesn't care about being the lead. He cares about his cast members and the chemistry isn't there this year.
- ita. he'd be thrown out already

- I know but he's not showing up to rehearsals and his heart's not in it this year.
- What do you think you should do about this?
- We've had lots of conversations but he seems to have made up his mind and if he will bail, maybe better now than closer to the show so someone else can have a shot at the role?
- I think the issue is that he took on a responsibility and is backing out without consideration for the consequences.
- np: It's OK to realize that something isn't working for you.
- Yes, but that doesn't mean you walk away and create chaos for everyone else because something isn't exactly as you'd prefer. There is nothing wrong with finding a situation...(more)
- I understand, but he's apparently been avoiding rehearsals. Better to be up front and quit.
- Right. The issue that the parent needs to address is that he is not living up to his responsibilities and is letting others down.
- Yes, but quitting would also accomplish that.
- He has already missed multiple rehearsals? Should have quit already
- Yes, agreed. I'm saying he should buck up, have the conversation, and take care of it.

- He should go talk to the director and back out. The people who are saying he "can't" are just wrong. It's not working, and it will be helpful for the director to be able to put...(more)
- np: It really depends on a lot of circumstances.
- Like what? He's not required to do this.
- When were auditions? When is the show? Are there other people who can fill in?
- These aren't his issues. Whatever happened has happened. He's not up to it.
- That's not correct.
- Really? He isn't attending rehearsals. He doesn't want to do it.
- That's not correct.

- Like what? He's not required to do this.
- On a personal level I'm so upset though. He's very talented and I feel like he's about to burn bridges. And drama is a small universe.
- Yes, this would mean no more roles.
- That is so not the point.
- or: talent is't the whole story. you have to really WANT to do the daily work of it. If he doesn't, that's OK
- OP: Agree, and there may be kids who are hungrier for the role than he is.
- I have a student I know who has an amazing singing voice, but hates performing and won't do it. It's hard to not see that as a waste, but...the talent is not as important as the...(more)
- np: i recently went through this with a student who would sign up and quit for four years. Then she finally was ready to do it and she lost her voice. It was such a shame.
- that sucks!

- OP: Agree, and there may be kids who are hungrier for the role than he is.
- I am a theater director, and yes. If he were to quit the play he would not be cast again and it would also impact other leadership opportunities.
- Yeah, but mom said he's skipping rehearsals. So he should go have that conversation.
- I would question why the director has not cut him, to be honest.
- Well, yes. That part of this story doesn't make sense. But, my point is, his best course of action right now is to have that conversation and finalize this.
- I see what you are saying. Yes. Instead of just avoiding he should step up to his responsibility and talk to the director.
- yep. And you know--sometimes as kids do things, they realize that it really doesn't work for them.
- I absolutely get that, but I also feel that they need to see it through to the end. Quitting in the middle (or at the hard part) doesn't really give you an idea of it works for...(more)
- I guess. If he would actually commit himself and do it 100%, ok. But it doesn't sound like that is the case.

- wait. pee all over the bathroom at age 12?? has he been suspended?
- op - sorry, he's 13 and the peeing happens at home
- So that's when you and dh hand him a bottle of cleaning solution, paper towels, and stand over him and make sure he cleans up every inch of the bathroom.
- op - we tried that and he ran off to his room yellng
