[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for everyone’s input. I apologized that night and we had a long discussion about her goals. Yes, there is something to the fact I underachieved academically, so I’m pushing harder than my parents did.

I know you don’t know me, so assume the worst. I’m a very chill momma. Trust that I’m following her goals with guidance. I’m so not the type looking to relive myself in my kids. They all have their unique paths.

I should have stated clearly, the 84 was extremely upsetting to her. She understands the stakes.

For all y’all staring it’s crazy for a kid to manage her future, I assume you haven’t switched to them waking their own butts up using an alarm clock. At some point, you guide and let go.[/quote]

1. If the 84 was upsetting to her, then it’s even worse that you laid into her so fiercely. Your original post suggested otherwise. 
2. Spreadsheets and freaking out over 84s are not “very chill” nor are you “guiding and letting go.” [/quote]

The letting go is the spreadsheet. She manages her grades. As for freaking out, she’s not understanding that this 84 makes it harder to get an A. Sometimes DCUM is disappointing. She’s wants an A, you have 2 tests, what does she need on the next one. Answer, a god damn high A.[/quote]
