[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 392472, member: 8831"] [I]She needs to know that she has to deal with this[/I] without a crystal ball handy, i'll wager i will hear about how she "chickened out" forever. she'll ruminate, after the fact. i'll try what you suggested, marg....(maybe later--i can't calmly deal with her right now--both she and the whole thing are on my last nerve!) it is so frustrating to me that someone can be so smart, and yet take the easy way out, every.single.time. heaven forbid she applied herself and has some kind of internal motivation--she probably cure cancer in my kitchen. its honestly not even about this single try-out, its about the pattern that i cant get her to break. (and i will say, this whole thing is so a result of "those who can't, teach"...this person is making it overly hard for heaven knows what reason--i happen to know a professional in the area who almost fell off their chair when i told them, but since its what's required, it is what it is) but she needs to know that life [I]ain't[/I] easy....the sooner she gets that fact, the easier it WILL be for her.
