A young drive is something to be admired but I understand your wish for her not being so hard on herself. My DD too is a perfectionist. High School was worse than college. Both of my kids were competitive swimmers, for the most part a kinda solo sport, how you perform in the water is on you and there are no French Skating Judges, just who hits the wall first.

But from my 26 years of being a Mom the two things I've observed is When it is the parents and coaches determination they tend to crumble. But they can be as hard on themselves as they please and they come out an even greater them on the other side.

I always tell her I just want her to love what she does - whatever it is.

This made me laugh but it would be un-American to like the post.

some only to 20 1/2

At least he can do fractions!

How so? liking a joke is unpatriotic now?

Liking a joke encouraging the Canadian Men's hockey team to beat the USA Men's hockey team 30 minutes before puck drop would be bad karma. If you're not an insanely superstitious sports fan you can't relate. Gotta call in @Lucky and @PUSH for this one!

You're not a superstitious as me. Your teams generally win.

Not so much an anti-American joke, so much as a sexist joke.
That's why @Nemo14 felt free to like it.

BTW - The Canadian Men's Curling team went out and played like girls today ... and just like the women, brought home GOLD, Baby!

As much as we look like Americans, speak like Americans, eat, drink, drive and live like Americans - Canadians really are very different.

We love our country as much as you do, but we are quietly patriotic.
We are just as proud as you, but in a self-effacing kind of way.
We are generally modest and humble.
We have, however, a fragile ego. We live next door to the behemoth that it the USA.
We love you guys, we really do (and most of us know that Canada only exists because of the protection of the US) but we are like the much younger sibling, living in your shadow - admiring you, but secretly hoping you fall on your butt once in a while. And when you do stumble, we will be the first ones to run in and help you up.

But hockey ... is another story altogether. This, WE NEED TO WIN. It's personal to us. Kick our a$$ in any sport you want, and generally we don't care. Kick our a$$ in hockey, and the nation collectively mourns.

Hockey is our apple pie, American eagle, Uncle Sam, and July 4th all rolled into one. If you're not Canadian, you just won't get it.

And oh yeah, we are, however briefly, NUMBER TWO in the medal standings.

And these are all the things I love about Canadians. I think you forgot loyalty. Canadians are very loyal people.
