What to do when your child says they want to resign from show biz? Let them. Let them do it. Let them call their agent and book themselves out forever. Look at Joaquin Phoenix -- he actually had to sit down and talk with his colorful agent about his decision not to act any more. I would have hated to hear that conversation and thankfully I wasn’t the person to talk to her (because I know her) after he gave her that bit of news. She cussed me out over the phone for just calling the office to confirm an appointment after Ms Dunst left her agency for bigger deals.
When your show biz kid, grows out of the running here and there to auditions and they’re not booking any way - even if they are, let them quit. Yes, we as parents possibly do know what’s best, but it’s only best for us - our decision - and one day they will find their own way or not. But don’t let them get away with acting like a grown up by making the decision and then acting like a child by asking you to tell their agent. Nope - that’s their last gig - let them have it. They want to take control of their own life, then let them have the responsibility that goes with that decision. This also goes for their car insurance that you, like I am still paying.
No harm or foul - it’s just gregorysms.
Ciao Y’all
