[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First Rule of Good Parenting: don't skew things to your kid's advantage[/quote]

Why is giving your kid an advantage not good parenting? [/quote]

Sets a bad moral example, sets them up for unreasonable expectations, insulates them from coping with challenges or learning value/necessity of hard work, can undermine self-confidence when they eventually realize their parents thought they needed an advantage, etc. etc. etc.[/quote]

Dream on, won’t happen and you are either not a parent or lying through your teeth.[/quote]

It happens every day, all of the time, with the kids who are redshirting who are otherwise healthy and have normal brain functions.[/quote]

If you hire tutors, [b]feed your kids healthy foods[/b] and read to them isn’t that also cheating in your world?[/quote]

It's a parent's job to keep their child safe and healthy to the best of their ability. It is NOT a parent's job to boost their child's ego or try to make them more popular.[/quote]

The better you do in school, the better a college you'll go to, and the better a college you go to, the better a job you'll have, and the better a job you have, the healthier a lifestyle you'll be able to afford.[/quote]

You might find a correlation between poverty and unhealthy lifestyles, but you won't find much correlation between wealth and a healthy lifestyle.  It's based more on habits you learn at an early age (and a baseline ability to afford, doesn't require wealth).[/quote]
