[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Me? None. I dropped out of college and have a very high HHI so I don’t push at all. They can make their own path. [/quote] I think this POV is just as biased and potentially damaging as the other extreme of parents who went to Ivy and demand Ivy from their kid. Just because you won the life lottery and or were lucky enough to catch a shooting star in your career/field, that does not mean your kids are set up to do the same. My BIL did what you did and is super successful by his own making. Did not encourage or advocate education for his kids, it’s fine if they ‘go anywhere, whatever’. It worked out fine for the two sons. The daughter, left unguided, has D’s and F’s at the school she now knows she should not have picked. She does not have any kind of ‘path’.[/quote] This daughter would have struggled if she had high expectations on her too it sounds like. [/quote]
