[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our kids will not be able to select appropriate HS courses, choose a career or degree, or apply for colleges without a lot of help from us parents.  Maybe someone else’s kids can do it without a lot of parental involvement, as different kids are different.

We do not care about Ivy or T20, but they have to obtain a good enough quality degree in a suitable major; we insist on college only as a way for them to be able support themselves in an UMC life after graduation.  We are not wealthy enough that they can choose a degree which pays poorly or not at all.[/quote]

This is nuts. If you still have to micromanage your nearly adult kid at 16-18 they’re just going to be the same unmotivated immature slackers regressing to their natural mean at college. You can’t make their friends, attend lectures and complete assignments, join study groups, join on campus ECs, go to office hours and develop rapport with professors and employers for them. It’s a futile losing battle, helicopter mom.

Tiger Mom Amy Chia and the outcome of her kids is not normal. Tiger mom and her husband are super powerful Republican king makers at Yale Law School. You’re just a prole striver in the DMV.[/quote]
