His Mom Is Forcing His 12-Year-Old Sister To Perform At An Easter BBQ In Front Of A Ton Of People Even Though His Sister Has Terrible Anxiety
A 16-year-old teen has a younger 12-year-old sister who recently got very interested in aerial dance.
His sister began getting interested in this at a local dance studio, but just before she was set to perform a recital, she stopped going due to the anxiety she had over that big event.
After the recital had passed, his sister began going to some classes at the studio again, and then his mom and dad got her a $2,000 aerial rig so that she could dance at home as well.
Unfortunately, his mom and dad had “strings attached” to purchasing his sister this aerial rig, yet they never disclosed this to his younger sister.
There’s an upcoming Easter BBQ in their community that more than 1,000 people are going to be attending this weekend.
There’s a parade, food, performances, and raffles at the BBQ too. Well, his mom signed his sister up to be one of the performances, without even telling her.
After it was “too late to back out” his mom then told his little sister that she was going to be performing in front of 1,000 people.
His mom is now using the aerial rig, in addition to a couple of other things, to hold over his sister’s head and force her to perform at the BBQ.
“She also said that she’d return the rig along with other privileges, but my sister wants to keep it after being hesitant to practice at the studio as much after dropping out of the recital,” he explained.

“I told her that she doesn’t have to do anything she isn’t comfortable with and that I could try to purchase her own rig someday, but she’s been really uneasy and anxious about wanting to keep it, but I’ve seen her shut down for weeks with the recital and hate how they’re pressuring her to do this.”
“I’ve argued with my parents, but they refuse to hear me and said that she “has to overcome it soon”, but I disagreed. The studio recital would’ve had about 50 people, and this BBQ has been in the hundreds before.”
“They also put her in the schedule as a performer, and I really need help on how to help her. They said they’d take her out of sports/soccer and TV/games and hangouts if she refused, and I don’t want her to feel pressured and shut down again as the date nears.”
He’s not sure what he can do to get his parents to back off and stop trying to control his little sister like this.
