That is why there so many crazy skatemoms. If you invest so much into it it would be "natural" for some parents to demand results fast. I do understand them from that point of view but I do not want to turn into one of them. (At least I'm trying hard )

You never know even for a talented kids. It's worse then gambling at times. But many just keep going either with their kid's or with their own dream...
