[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who are bent out of shape about other people's kids being redshirted win the worst parents of the year award. Every kid is different and every family is different. There is no one reason people keep their kid home an extra year, just as there is no one reason your kid lost the election for class president, OP! There is no one reason they weren't picked as homecoming king or queen!! Just love them anyway and stop focusing on the redshirted kids as your excuse. Your kids are fine they way they are.[/quote]

I'm not trying to stop parents from redshirting their kids. I just don't think the redshirted kid should be allowed to enter a situation where they're getting compared to their age-appropriate classmates, because of course they're going to come out on top.[/quote]

The range of "appropriate" age is closer to 18mo than it is to 12mo. You just have to accept that, I'm afraid. If you're super worried about your kid coming out "on top" then I guess you just have to time your conception carefully.

Also, I'm sorry that you see life as a cage match.[/quote]
