Mom has a distinct point, although why Skelly is using a swimmer to make it is beyond my ability to understand. But what I’ve noticed about good parents is that they AMPLIFY and DIRECT what the kids want to do that could be good for them, and they DEFLECT the stuff that’s not so much so. And it’s very clear that the athletes who compete at the top level are monomaniacal hard workers about their sport, as well as having bodies that are way outside the norm. They’re weird… but it sure is fun to watch them excel!
