[quote=Anonymous]Op, listen to yourself. You are being extremely judgmental of your child. Maybe his constitution is just different from his siblings. I am a twin and was totally type A just like my younger brother. We were both D1 athletes and Presidential Scholars. College was totally free for both of us, and we have both done well professionally. My fraternal twin brother was neither an athlete or a great student. He was average at best at both. My parents basically treated him as less than and continued to do so. However, he was very popular, had lots of friends, got a decent job and is happily married with 2 kids. He is not a high earner, but he has tons of friends and is happy. To this day, he feels that he was not valued by our parents and resents them. He has a great relationship with his kids. Please try to be a better parent to your kid. Not everyone can be competitive. Listen to your kid and plan a special trip with him. Get him to do the leg work, give him a budget, and get him motivated for goals for the trip - what does he want to see, enjoy, learn about, etc. [/quote]
