I'd say as long as you have your daughters permission then you can do whatever the heck you want and everyone else can shove it.

But if your daughter doesn't even know, then that would be very, very wrong IMO.

Ditto. She is a beautiful child.

When the site is completely finished within the next week or so I will make an announcement to everyone then.
If you were already anticipating that someone might tell you not to do it, don't you think that (if anyone does disapprove) the backlash might be 10x worse when you "announce" that you created it without any input from the other people that care about her?

OTOH, you may also get also backlash from family member who think the website is a great idea, but feel insulted that you didn't even ask for their suggestions.

Just my 2 cents.

She is a beautiful girl.

Having a website for a talented child is NOT the same as Showbiz moms and Dads...

Well I think that all of the girls who hit it big had a parent that pushed them forward (thinking Jessica and Ashlee Simpson). However I do want to share one story with you. I grew up with a girl named E. who was a beautiful girl that is extremely talented at playing the "fiddle" she loved to play. However her mom making her practice 3 hours a day and pulling her out of school so she could work on her "career" (in 7th grade) she ended up hating to play. She never became famous at all she just became a school drop out single mom. So yeah definitely SUPPORT your child and encourage her talent but do not DO NOT take away her childhood and her chances at a well rounded life.

Edit to add: I am a single mom too so I didn't mean that as a slam. I am extremely happy. However if I had been told all of my life that I was going to be a millionaire and a huge star then well I'd probably be depressed.

Am I correct that this child is 6 years old?

In all honestly this was my reaction too - especially when you want to not let her have a " career" until after age 16. She is beautiful and I'm sure she is talented - I did not watch the videos - but the site just made me feel weird.
