[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could move. [/quote] Op - moving is not an option. Our jobs are here. I just want to try and find the balance between pushing my kids to excel and giving them space to enjoy their childhood. It seems like everyone around here does the first option to the detriment of the second. [/quote] Yes, you dont have the choice to move, but at your HHI you have the choice to parent however you want. That is the point of generational wealth. The "next generation must be do better" is working class/immigrant mentality and it makes sense there. It sounds like you are insecure enough to be ruffled by what other parents are doing, because you are seduced by the prestige, by the ego boost of having your kids be "the top." You want to be competitive, you just don't like the work it will take. [/quote]
