[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sick of these posts…there are gobs of them if you search DCUM.

There is no perfect school so it was all a lie anyway.  You should never have let your kid think this way which is your fault.

Tell them life is hard, give them a couple of days to grieve then have them focus on all the great things about the schools they were accepted.[/quote]

If you’re so sick of something just move on to the next. No need to crap all over a parent dealing with a real problem. [/quote]

DP:  But part of the reason this problem continues to exist is because parents let their kids fall into the "dream school" mentality without prepping the kid for the fact that a school with single digit acceptance rates is a crap shoot for EVERYONE!  Part of our job as parents is to let our kids dream but also infuse a bit of reality for them so they are not beyond depressed if they don't get in and friends do.  
That can be done if you have an excellent list of schools to apply to (ie not all reach schools) [/quote]
