[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, I hear you all. OP here.

She wants a school that’s hard to get into. She’s wanted it for various reasons on her own. I’m really not a helicopter parent. I’m here to tell her you’re aiming for x, you aren’t going to get there without y.

I’m a loving mom who wants to guide their kids in the direction and path they chose. She wants to achieve something and I’m part of guiding her there. I’m not a monster.

Not an elitist either. It’s my kid driving this train.[/quote]

Then leave her alone.  Back off.  And stop with this bullshit excel nonsense.  She's either motivated to do it, or not.  But you're coming off as a controlling insane shrew.[/quote]

OP again. I hear you and I disagree. Teens want certain things and as parents your job is to mentor them. My daughter should absolutely understand her competition - what it takes. That’s all up to her of course. Why am I getting thrown out of bed for eating crackers over here... I’m just telling her this is what you’d need to do if you want x. [/quote]
