because one of the top WTF moments was when another parent suggested that my kid should find a new path in life (both of our kids are performers.) The disdain in her voice was so painful to hear because all four of us have been (or, I guess, were) dear friends for years and her kid has had every financial advantage and training while mine has had almost none. I never thought of them being in competition. I had no idea she thought that way.
