[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this your oldest child?  You will find that kids have their own timelines and their own priorities.  And worse: once they recognize your priorities, they tend to shift gears and head in the opposite direction.  [/quote]

I feel like I am not cut out to be a parent. I'm mentally and physically exhausted. DH is the breadwinner and expects me to take care of all the home stuff. I think I am going to have a mental breakdown. We already outsource most of the cooking and cleaning. Now I'm wondering if we should get a tutor. I feel like I should be able to teach my children how to read and write. I cannot.[/quote]

Unless your education was in early childhood literacy and numeracy, why would you expect yourself to have those specific skills?

It sounds like the problem is not that you are Harvard educated and your child can't count but that your are Harvard educated and might thrive with your own career and your kids getting high quality childcare where professionals focus on academic teaching. (Tho, your children may or may not be average or above ... you must understand heritability and that two Harvard degrees do not = gifted children automatically.)[/quote]
