[quote=Anonymous] OP, My mother was like you. She constantly compared me to my not-so-fortunate cousin, and every time I had a bad grade, would threaten: "Do you want to end up like cousin X?" I grew up with disdain for my cousin and part of my family, which I now regret. It definitely wasn't my cousin's fault that he didn't have a stable family life and didn't receive a solid education, and his mother's issues weren't her fault either. Now we never see them, and I wish my mother had made more of an effort to present a more balanced picture to me. You have to make YOUR lifestyle attractive to your children, instead of pointing out the flaws in other people's choices. [/quote]
