[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It can be exhausting. Agreed?[/b][/quote] Yes. New to this site and the UC mentality and stress of getting into top 20/25 whatever colleges...it's been very eye opening. Three degress between spouse and I and all our parents said was "You're getting a college degree". And we did. And we've been successful and are financially well off. We used the same tactic with our DC and he's now in a state school that would be frowned up here but we're proud of him. Get a degree and then work hard. So glad and grateful we were not raised with that stress.[/quote] Yes, unfortunately, many of us have lost our way and have followed the herd, at the expense of the mental health of our kids and strength of our relationships. I just saw something on this site talking about 4th grade admissions to a private. Are we losing our common sense and starting our kids down the same hypnotic path?[/quote]
