[quote=Anonymous]I was invited to attend a talk on the book [i]Never Enough[/i] about the “toxic achievement culture” in affluent areas. My initial reaction was give me a f$!&#*; break. The competition is real. Play to win. I do not need a privileged upper class woman lecturing me. For families with generational wealth, sure, go ahead and embrace your unique child, don’t pressure them. The rest of us got where we are through tremendous effort. There is only a small amount of room at the top and life for the disappearing middle class and below is difficult. I’m just perplexed that the working affluent (W2 vs the truly wealthy) think that anything besides hitting it hard is going to cut it for their kids. [/quote]
