[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep, being a bad mom, sore loser.  In our circle all the kids did exceptional but mine, of course we have ADD going for us.  I don't show it to my son but it's eating me up alive.[/quote]

You are also human. OP, it will hurt. But try your darndest best now to show it to your son. Believe me, the moment graduation happens, summer starts, where the kid is going to college stops mattering less day by day. Focus on making your son strong for the place he is headed to.

Your jealousy is temporary but if you let your son feel it, he will remember it for ever.

Go for runs. [b]Look up successful people who went to less than top colleges and are doing so well. [/b][/quote]

Both my husband and I went to third tier schools. Our college friends (their jobs, lifestyles, etc) are indistinguishable from our DC friends who went to HYP and similar. Life is very, very long and where you go to college [b]does not determine [/b]your ultimate professional destiny.  [/quote]
