[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Happy for OP's kid turning things around, but OP's post is insufferable. 1) It's self-congratulatory, 2) It's obnoxious gloating as to her siblings (and their children), and 3) It equates superior "winning" parenting with hyper helicoptering and college prestige. So, yes, let them crow. But we can find it very off putting. [/quote]

I think about OP’s post from time to time and completely agree with you, poster I quoted. Absolutely insufferable. Congratulations for being the absolute best OP! I wonder why your kid has anxiety and smokes and vapes? I bet you are miserable to be around. [/quote]

Nah, I get it, some kids are a roller coaster and require a lot of work. You may have an "easy" kid or 3, don't judge those that don't. I too feel like I won at least a minor victory getting my many-issues kid past the high school finish line and into a decent college that reflects his 36 ACT versus his eh grades due to various health (mental and otherwise) issues. You don't know until you've walk in those shoes. [/quote]
