[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At some point we all have to reckon with our kids going down a different path because they are their own people. I went to a highly selective school and have multiple advanced degrees. My kid may end up at a lower level state school or a community college. It’s taken me a long time to realize that my assumptions about what makes for a good life are me-specific. I do my kid a disservice - and spend a lot of foolish time and energy - worrying because his path isn’t the same as mine. Trust your kid knows what is best for them right now…or at least trust that they have the skills and fortitude to thrive through their own mistakes.[/quote] I too think I’ve spent an enormous amount of time worrying about my kid’s path. I give myself a reality check now and then when I wonder if my parents spent all this time worrying about my future (they didn’t!).[/quote]
