So, let me back up this post first with saying I am certain my daughter is just stubborn, and praying this is a phase--but it's gone on since 2 and we're getting close to 4 so it's an awfully long phase.

We started DD in Ballet/Tap in August because she had been asking us, so we enrolled her. It's just a drop-off, pick-up class. She would come out of class not particularly enthused but would tell us what she did if we really pressed it. The last 3-4 classes have been us wrestling her to even get dressed to go and I HATE having to force her to do something she doesn't want to do, but want to make a point if she starts something she needs to finish it.

We missed the last 2 classes because we were out of town the last 2 weeks. When I started to get her ready today, she flat-out refused to go and I ended up throwing my hands in despair. We've tried bribes, consequences, etc. previously just to get her to go but I don't feel like it's worth wrestling her over and making her hysterical just to prove a point she needs to go and finish.

Anyone else in the same boat? I want her to be involved in something she loves, but I'm not going to pay for her to do something and halfway through the season she decides she doesn't want to do it anymore. Ugh!
