[quote=Anonymous]I feel like "it'll all work out" but I don't know if that's grounded in reality or just my natural optimism. I both have that belief about my own life and constantly think of all the things that could go wrong and plan with how I'll deal with it if they do. So far it's proved true for me -- things *have* generally worked out, so that re-enforces the optimism. I think the one main thing I would try to remember for your kids is that there's no one way to achieve adult happiness. Your kids might decide not to pursue college, and that can work out okay. Or they might go to a different type of school/major than you expect too, and that can work out. Instead of trying to plan one path forward, try and think of many options for all eventualities -- surely one of those will work out, right?[/quote]
