[quote=Anonymous]I think lots of times in high achieving families, the parents can unwittingly set the kids against each other -- Why can't you be more like your brother? Do you know how much your sister earns? Also, high achieving often means that you end up geographically spread out. We have doctors, lawyers, professors, etc. but everyone went to the best college and we all ended up in different parts of the country, married people from other parts of the country. We don't see each other much. Finally, high achieving often means that kids go to high powered summer programs, etc. starting when they're 14 so you don't all spend summer together at the pool., etc. I am concerned about this with my own kids who are in college and already choosing the 'looks good on my resume summer job' in another city over living at home with mom and dad and their siblings.[/quote]
