+1. Anyone who attacks another kid's school choices has more than a few screws loose in their head, OP. Especially if that someone is a grown adult. Normal, sane, rational people don't do that.  If they do, you need to automatically take note and decide that they no longer matter in your life. Because such behaviors say far more about them than they do about you. (If they do it more than once, or if it involves gaslighting or other tactics, that is a whole new level of crazy - we have seen it on DCUM).

Have you seen some of the posts by parents trying to disparage other kid's school choices (or anything, really)?  Do they seem sane to you, or manic and in need of serious and prompt professional help?

There is your answer. [/quote]
