[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do get your child around for an extra year. Some parents crave this[/quote] Most parents check out by MS, and if not by HS so it really makes no sense.[/quote] I suppose this is in keeping with the parenting values of anti-redshirt posters, and so they assume everyone hates their own kids like they do. [/quote] No, it's the reality of life. I saw it a lot in MS where the very involved parents started to check out. Now that we are in HS I'm amazed at how little parenting there was. One parent was trying to convince me to let my Freshman ride with the older kids in a van to sports practices... hmmm.. what could go wrong with a bunch of 17-18 year olds and a few 14 year olds. She wasn't worried at all at 6 AM what could happen.[/quote] Umm this is normal. YOU are weird and probably over parenting. [/quote]
