[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you wish your parents had made different decisions. Which is part of being human. It also sounds like you wish your life had gone different and are blaming your high school experience and your parents choices, which is not uncommon but fairly immature and limited perspective.

Your parents made the best choices they could for you, and you are free to make different ones for your kids. Be aware that they’ll likely still blame you for their dissatisfaction (and everyone has some) if that’s what you model.

Quite frankly, it also sounds like you have no appreciation for the fact you’ve lived a very privileged life. Perhaps consider whatever it takes to gain some perspective - therapy, volunteering, whatever works for you.  [/quote]

How do you know those were the best choices? By the price tag?[/quote]

Ummm…because no parent pays for private school because they think it’s a worse choice? Whether or not it really was best in retrospect doesn’t change that they were doing the best they could for their kids.[/quote]

Best choice. Not what they thought was the best choice for that student. Some parents are going for the legacy or the prestige (and pls don’t waste our time pretending this isn’t true). IOW, the best choice for the parents, not the student.
