[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I are also HYP grads and neither of us or any of our friends had an upbringing like you're describing, OP.

You call yourself a perfectionist but you have a child who has already absorbed your anxiety. That's not perfect. Sorry.

You're yelling and nitpicking your children who just want their mother's love and approval. That's not perfect.

You need meds. Try it for a couple months and see what happens.[/quote]

Where did I say I’m perfect?

Perfectionist is a different story and generally has negative connotations.

You sure do jump to conclusions a lot.

Your college experience is yours.  We all self segregate into our own little pods wher me they feel most comfortable.

One child has anxiety and one does not. Genes also play a role. What makes you think DD wouldn’t have it if she grew up in another family? My other child shows no signs of it.

How often do you yell? Would love to know what’s normal. That would actually be helpful.

Yup, I’m being defensive and smug. And so are you. I suppose if I wanted to go all in, I’d say something about your character. But I just don’t know you as well as you think you know me. [/quote]
