Your child is a rock star and you are her agent

I imagine an agent has the same experience I have as a  parent.  You client (child) is a rock star. You are just there to serve. (Somehow they envision that you are being paid.) You are expected to be quiet in front of everyone, drive her to her appointments, stay in the car, don't talk, never address her friends, support her efforts, stay in the background.

But then, she snuggles next to you on the couch, asks you to do her make-up, wants you to pick everybody up after teen night, and feed everyone good food.

Take a back seat. Watch and observe. She wants you there, but silently.

Practice.
