[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is sad - you know why?  It's status obsessed parents who can't stand it when Biff and Buffy at the club tell them that Biff Jr. and Mandy are both going to Princeton and you have to tell them your kids only got into Virginia Tech or JMU.  They can't possibly stand the disgrace.  Let the kid go somewhere in the real world and learn how to grind, not learn how to snobnob with the country club set on their way up the social ladder, making sure they lock down those Goldman jobs on Wall Street by making the right "connections".[/quote]

100% - so afraid that they are missing out on something and their lives will be horrible because of it...its starts with best daycare and pre school right through to playing travel sports and into education - and then we wonder why our kids are stressed...its because we are constanty comparing them to everyone else instead of focusing on the things that make them and us happy..sad is right.[/quote]
