[quote=Anonymous]I’m trying to raise kids who are internally self motivated. My DH had pushy parents. I did not. He did much better grade-wise than me through college and had the “better” job. But now that the pressure is off he really is at a loss. Meanwhile, I’ve been slow and steady but am constantly finding new things to love to do. I just turned 50 and am excited for the years ahead. Meanwhile, he’s “bored” most of the time which I think comes from a lack of internal motivation. Life is long OP! It’s not just about high school. That said, I certainly have standards for my kids but I emphasize their effort not prescribe an output. [/quote]
