[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people are mixing up parent stress and child stress.

My stress about where my child would be going to school was strong last year but my 4 year old was oblivious. I am a planner and I was stressed about what different decisions would mean for us logistically and about the pressure around deciding on the right "fit" for my DC. [/quote]

Did you take any of the decisions personally? How did it work out?[/quote]

I was fine with the decisions but I regretted applying to one 
of the schools because I was so clearly caught up in the marketing but definitely didn't want to get in by the end despite everyone going crazy for it on DCUM and elsewhere.

My child is super happy and learning a ton and I'm very pleased with the whole experience.

Most importantly, I stepped off the wait-lists pretty quickly (1 on decision day, 1 after an email with the school, 1 after the two week decision window) because I wanted to fully embrace the school that wanted DC. I'm very happy that I did that and didn't prolong needless stress.

We are lucky to live in an area where we have so many choices.[/quote]
