[quote=Anonymous]I don't think this is a Type A/average student parent/kid problem. I think this is a my kid isn't exactly how I thought they would be (in other words, just like me) problem. My DH and I are both quite athletic. Both played organized sports our entire lives. My oldest son could care less about sports. Not interested. And when this was all taking shape, I had to be honest with myself and admit I was disappointed. But I was also self-aware to realize that a) it's his life not mine b) it's not about me and c) I need to get over myself and support who he is. Fast. So that is my advice to you OP. Get over yourself. Fast. They're not mini-mes. They are their own people and your job is to support them and love them on THEIR path. Not push them to replicate your path.[/quote]
