[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This seems like a "you" problem. Are you expecting them to go Ivy League? They will be fine getting into a local state college and will live happy lives. Why do you feel the need to push them? That will not end well.[/quote]\ It's ok to want your children to be successful, especially when you know they are capable. It's upsetting to witness people wasting their potential, even if they are not your own children. All this is perfectly normal - no need to be make into some kind of pathology. The issue is, can you do much about it? As your children are older it is harder to push them to success because 1) they are big and stubborn and resistant 2) you need to do a lot of pushing for a very little benefit. When your kids are little you can push them to success fairly easily, assuming they are capable. When they are older there already many young adults in every lane who are talented & self-driven for your pushing to make a difference.[/quote]
