[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just wanted to point out that midlife crises often present like this. Deep regret over choices not taken, typically filtered through seeming logic and data. I read OP's posts, and subsequent posts, and while I sort of see the points she's making, I also recognize the pattern of thought as fairly typical midlife stuff. It's hard. We only get one life. We don't get do-overs. We never get to see the counterfactual for the choices we made. Wishing everyone grace in these moments. [/quote] I’m currently in thick of it with tweens and teens and it is exhausting parenting them. I often think I should let them just quit everything and do whatever they want. Forget an elite college, my kid probably wouldn’t even get into Penn State nowadays let alone UVA or UPenn. Just waking them up and getting them to school is a struggle and pain in the ass. [/quote] Thank you for this, I thought maybe it was just mine.[/quote]
