Pups_mum Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 1) You refer to your child as DD in the real world. 2) You wish someone good luck in their audition when they are a middle aged man going for an interview for a new job. 3) You spend 5 minutes wondering where the " like" button has gone before remembering that your work email system doesn't have such a thing. Yes, I have done all of these things in the last 48 hours....please tell me I am not alone... 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dance*is*life Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Well you could be referring to her as darling daughter and not dancing daughter - noone needs to know that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petalviolet Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 You (as in..me) cultivate an expression of expertise when anyone starts chatting to you about ballet...you never divulge your source..you just look..owlish. Then you scuttle back on here very quickly to ask a billion questions to people who ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT and LAUGH AT YOU but enable you to maintain a tenous but mysteriously plausible air of balletic know-how you really cannot justify. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 You check out the forum on your portable device in bed, just before turning the lights off at night. Oh yes...guilty as charged!! 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dramascientist Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Hmm I have grudging respect from my tekkie DH because I am on this forum......he never thought I had it in me! Thank you Balletco for proving him wrong! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiz Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Or you tell your ex dds that a certain Ballet Co Forum dancer or a dc has got into vocational school to be met with blank looks or "Oh, that's nice"... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moneypenny Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 You have a Balletcoforum tab permanently open on your iPad ... In fact it's been open on mine for about the last 4 years! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 You suddenly realise that you are one of the people who says "Welcome to the forum" to new posters! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahw Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Guilty here as well of all mentioned symptoms. But I think it's worth it for sanity..... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dramascientist Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 But its so much more.....sometimes its nice to feel part of an elite group! Having been thought of all my life as "a bit geeky", "square, you're always at dancing and miss all the "cool" parties" and a goody two shoes..... "stop being such a perfectionist, you make the rest of us look bad" its nice to find like minded people who think its ok to allow your DD to go to ballet even when she has a horrible cold because she says "but I need to go, I'll die without it!" because you know it will make her feel so much better that just being miserable at home! Thank you my virtual friends! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinMM Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 When your partner takes to hiding your iPad because of time spent on it .........75 percent of it on the forum or following up forum related info/videos etc. I'm in bed at the mo but away from home and thought I'd have just a quick last look at the forum and then saw this thread!! Also when you check the forum before checking your emails in the Mornings! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacharovitti Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 When you bring your children at school at 8 a,m. and then wait the opening of the supermarket in the parking lot giving a look to the forum before checking your work emails......like me right now! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piccolo Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 You start using the term 'car to barre' in context. Dd opens car window and tips out half a bottle of water onto the road as I prepare to drive off to ballet class... Piccolo: Wouldn't it be easier to just bring home what you don't drink?! Dd: Wouldn't it be easier just to carry a lighter load?! Piccolo: Well you've only got to carry it from car to barre!?! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna C Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Aah, thank you. He's been gone almost 4 years now but was a beautiful and incredibly special dog. We were blessed to have him for 15 years. I could change my avatar to our Mini Schnauzer but he has such a deadpan face. You know the penguin - Feathers Mcgraw - from Wallace and Gromit's "The Wrong Trousers"? Well imagine that stare but with fur and a beard. He's very funny but his photo might put people off hence I keep my darling old laughing Collie. :-) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
