[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to stop thinking of your child as an extension of yourself. That is a tough role for a child and you will end up disappointed and with a bad relationship. Children are who they are and our role as parents is to help them become the best version of themselves, not an extension or accessory of us. [/quote]

It is only natural to want your kids to do better than yourself. Problem is that DH has a perfect resume and ridiculously high standards. I had equal high expectations for my children. Reality has sunk in. DH seems not to understand and is too busy to help. When he does spend time with the kids, he is trying to improve the children's tennis or golf. I am so frustrated and angry.

You've got to stop. You and your husband are not unique. Your children are who they are. Your expectations of them can really damage them. They are children and you will end up with a bad relationship with them that they will want to escape. [/quote]
