[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Geez. OP here. DCUM can be harsh. Thanks for suggesting my daughter will blow her head off with a gun. Very helpful. I’m not xenophobic nor a “tiger mom.” I’m just a mom. A mom trying to balance a kid’s dreams against the reality of the world. What’s wrong with telling her your dreams do not align with your grades? Either you up your academic game or we talk different schools? Should I pretend my little snowflake would get into this school knowing full well it was a 100% guaranteed rejection? There aren’t trophies in life for all past 4 year old soccer. [/quote] It’s your job to love her no matter what, and to teach her that she doesn’t need to have her heart set on one college right now, and if she doesn’t get into that one, her life isn’t over and she’ll get in somewhere else. Her dream - if it really is hers and not yours - may not be healthy and there’s no reason for you to encourage it or insist on it. [/quote]
