FWIW, I don't think that the poster you're quoting was suggesting your attitudes harmed your child.  She was just pointing out that the bragging rights/engineering your kid's life rhetoric wasn't a fair response to a parent who grew up elsewhere and was simply asking "how do things work here?"

That said, my take was that you were responding to the responses and offering OP a different perspective/approach rather than slamming her for asking the question.

FWIW, I wholeheartedly agree with the encourage your kid to do things s/he finds meaningful and to do them well advice. [/quote]

Industry person here: yes, that is what I meant. Also--OP needs the process operationalized, not parenting advice, which came off as obnoxious with "the problem with this thread....".  I also find it offensive because we don't know the country or culture of the OP. Give her the info she or he needs without putting US values/ideas on to them about what they are doing wrong in your eyes.  [/quote]

Amen. [/quote]
