[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not socializing on week days, normal. Teens should be doing homework and activities on weeknights.

Not allowing socializing on weekends is weird and unhealthy absent a good reason like someone is sick etc.[/quote]

Are your teens so incapable that they can’t manage homework, some ECs and occasionally go to a midweek event?  That’s what I am hearing.

Guess what…the highest performing teens are able to do all of this…so I guess your teens aren’t that.[/quote]

When they are in the amount of activities mine are in, yes.  One activity at school vs multiple at school and multiple outside school are different. Should I say no to an activity so they can hang out with your kid because you refuse more than easy school activities. [/quote]

Sorry…my kid has been accepted to a top 5 college that I am sure you will be dying for your kid to attend.  My kid runs  circles around yours including winning several national prizes, running multiple clubs at school and getting paid to work at a tech company.

Yet…yet…yet my kid still is able to participate in midweek activities from time-to-time.

So…what is the excuse for yours?[/quote]

Lots of people work in big tech companies.  It’s not as big of a deal as you make it sound and you need skill not a top five school.    No, your kids don’t run circles around mine and running clubs is a joke as most don’t do much of anything.  Let’s be real. Those things are for resumes.  When your kids are in the top orchestras, club sports and school stuff that’s more impressive.  And, given mine started algebra in 6th they aren’t exactly dumb. The kids at the school clubs do very little.  Very little.  [/quote]

So then why is your kid not capable of managing a random mid week social outing?

Sounds like your kid isn’t capable.

Everything you list above is to try to get your kid into the college that my kid is attending.

My kid does run the top clubs…and no, not many HS kids are getting flown to client sites (yep mine too) to work on projects during breaks.

The fact you brought up an orchestra is a huge tell that about your background.  You are a complete and utter cliche.[/quote]

NP. You seem really invested in this. You have posted literally the same thing on this thread 5x - that kids who don’t go to weekday social events are giant losers. Yes, they are giant losers who will never amount to anything in life. Are you happy now? Will you STFU now?[/quote]
