[quote=Anonymous]12:43/13:57 poster, I agree with you -I'm 13:11. I think that in recent decades parents of every stripe have become over-invested in their kids, whether it's academic success or on the soccer field. The martyr-mom-of-a-gifted-kid is one variant on this. It's not even necessary for the kid to be truly gifted at reading, math or sports, because some parents will see brilliance or athletic prowess in their child despite all evidence to the contrary. I think we as a society need to step back, tamp down our own egos, and think about what's really necessary to nurture productive, happy adults.[/quote]
