I'm convinced the people who disagree with the OP are attempting to rationalize their average kids instead of, you know, acknowledging they merely did a so-so job grooming them.[/quote]

I definitely did a so-so job "grooming" my kid. Of course, I never realized that was what I was supposed to be doing. [b]I  never intended to "groom" my children for anything, other than to be thoughtful, curious, kind, generous people who had the skills to support themselves and be productive members of society. [/b]If I had groomed for (and they had achieved) the Ivy League, but ended up as close-minded, self-centered young adult, I would have considered that a grave failure on my part. But I suspect close-minded and self-centered is a-okay with you. Apples don't fall too far from the tree.[/quote]

It never occurred to me that I should be "grooming" my kids.  Who are, you know, their own individual people.
