[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just have a perfectly nice regular kid. Not a stellar athlete nor a drama maven nor a superstar all APs academic - just a regular old good kid. 
I am feeling just - tense - with so much college noise. Hooked/unhooked, legacy, etc etc - just - it's all so much. I do not remember it being this way when I was growing up. I'd been coming to this board and just seeing the posts make me feel geared up. Is anyone else feeling like me? I wouldn't call my kid "awesomely average" (I know that's a Facebook group) but just not like - "special" in the way it feels like you need to be now either? Like he's just a well-rounded kid who does some clubs, plays a sport at a decent but not standout level, and is nice with plenty of friends? Where are these parents, where are my people?

This is so cringy. 
Can't the parents mind their own business? Their own aspirations? Pick up a hobby, learn a new language. Think about it, if you are just a stay-at-home spouse who married someone rich, why do you expect so much out of your kid? To repeat our life?  Why are you stressed? It isn't you who is going to these colleges. [/quote]
