OP here. This. I would never say this in real life. It was nice to anonymously say exactly what this poster states. That I'm excited for my kid. And we were at an all time low with the hospital (that we couldn't talk to any family about, even my mom with whom I'mso close. But she wouldn'tbe able to take it). And that it is nice to celebrate wins (while fully understanding the luck and privilege we have).[/quote]

On the one hand: Congratulations.

On the other hand: Now your kid has to survive in a college that might be to very stressful and way too hard.

You need to be prepared to provide counseling and executive function coaching, if necessary, and to accept that your kid might end up being an English major with 2.3 GPA rather than a premed with 3.9 GPA. [/quote]
My DC is the 3.9 pre-med who resisted micromanagement and advice. Also has 3 other siblings, so attention was diverted. Did what I could within reason but ultimately up to them to sink or swim.[/quote]
