[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually am a HYP grad who is currently a SAH mom for my kids (for now).  In lots of ways, I have done a terrible job.  Book smarts does not translate one-to-one with being a natural, intuitive mom.

You sound really rigid and judgmental and self-righteous.  Be careful about the values that you are teaching your kid, because in the end you may find that you were wrong about some things you were really positive you were right about.  I'd advise you to try to adjust your thinking now to allow for that possibility, before you're too late.[/quote]

I'm sorry that you are not a natural, intuitive mom. Of all my accomplishments, I am most proud of my children. They are awesome kids. I felt great guilt when I was working even though we had the best nanny and preschool. I sacrificed my career and put my all into my children. They are not necessarily the smartest or the best at soccer or tennis but I love them to pieces. I am so proud and happy to be their mom. We purposely live in a diverse neighborhood. I guess I will have to accept that some parents are ok with letting their kids watch tv and play video games all day. I just feel there are so many better ways to spend your time like doing your homework![/quote]

Pssst.

Those parents who parent differently than you love their children and think they are the world, just like you.

Imagine that! [/quote]
