[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is not a great student. He's not flunking out of high school or anything, but gets maybe one A, with the rest being Bs and Cs in a high performing school where everyone seems to be killing it (I know this can't be true but it feels this way). He doesn't seem to really like school or care very much about improving his grades. All of this makes me feel like a bad mom. Why can't I help him more? Why can't I get him to be more invested, etc. I wish it wasn't true but there it is. Bad grades=bad mom.[/quote] +1. I feel like this multiple times/week with my HS DS. I'm trying not to because I know that his grades are not actually a reflection of our parenting and we've offered plenty of help and resources. Ultimately it's up to the kid to manage this and he's not that bothered by his grades. I still feel like we're somehow failing because he will have fewer/worse college options than he otherwise would.[/quote]
