[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP because you graduated Ivy doesn't make you special or more intelligent. In fact your post shows a lack of intelligence behind it. I don't mean it as an insult but it truly shows a narrow close minded perspective that is counter to what I consider a wise person.

Is your child healthy and happy? Then that should make you happy. I used to treat children with autism, some with severe challenges. What those parents wouldn't have given for their child to have a chance to be average to live a happy normal life without so many difficulties ahead of them.

You sound superficial and concerned about your ability to brag about your kid on what you deem is important. If your child not being: The most attractive, athletic, smartest and highest achieving individual makes you feel like a failure then I am sad for your kid. I think you are failing as a parent but not for the reasons you listed but because you think it's so important. I'd hate to be your kid and the pressure you would put on me so you can look good. Get your priorities straight and stop being disappointed because your child is happy and normal. You don't have to one up anyone and you know what? No one really gives a shit about your achievements or failures.[/quote]

I;m not the OP - but struggling to keep mindful of my actions in this pressure cooker of raising children.
Thank you!
