[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a ton of families like that.

Kids do different jobs... one makes glass literally from sand and sells his work in small shops.

I'm actually more amazed when somebody is making a cool living.

I know a couple that teaches kayaking.
I know a guy that paints cars and make $80k.
I know a guy that fixes cars.

I know a girl that opened a boutique all on her own without her parents money. She has had it for 10 years and is successful.

[b]I think the idea that everybody needs great grades and college is total BS[/b].[/quote]

I didn't bring college up. But sure, very safe to say college doesn't seem in the cards -- which is fine! But nor was anything else being discussed or planned for. No passions, no pursuits, [b]no grooming t[/b]o position for success. It was really startling, is all.[/quote]

Are you hearing yourself?  I know many parents just like you, one in particular, both kids at Darmouth and seemingly successful in all their pursuits.  They are the MOST F u kids I know, but I saw it coming.  She is/was just like you and this isnt the only kids I know who ended up with issues.  Grooming, really?  You are grooming your children to walk in your shoes?  Don't answer, please, don't answer.[/quote]
