I regularly anxious about our a single son, and he is a honestly bright young man, and has several talents, however some of the careers he has mentioned had myself and others anxious for his future.
He regularly wanted to be a singer, and while I usually strongly encourage our children to follow their dreams, not so much in this case… Even though he has talents in several other areas, singing is not a single of them.
He sounds similar to a sick person attempting to sing, it’s not pretty! Not only that, however the fact that being a musician comes with high competition, and usually only the best make it through, only increased our problems. I tried to let him down gently, and let him think why it would be a bad idea. At first, he didn’t accept it genuinely well; But later on, he agreed and told myself and others I was right. As an adult, he decided to go into the Heating, Ventilation and A/C career field, and I couldn’t improve more. Heating, Ventilation and A/C specialists make a nice pay, and Heating, Ventilation and A/C repairmen are regularly in high demand, so I knew he would be safe in his job prospects. But I wanted to make sure he was glad as well, and not just choosing a job to make myself and others glad. Thankfully, he did adore repairing heating and cooling systems, and did adore his job as a Heating, Ventilation and A/C specialist overall. As an adult, he later told myself and others he was ecstatic I convinced him out of being a musician, because he couldn’t imagine embarrassing himself in front of everyone.
