[quote=Anonymous]Rather than winning the parenting wars, a more appropriate title and declaration would have been “I won the parenting lottery.” My guess is that you and your spouse have not been saddled with debt, generational poverty, or significant health issues. You’ve been able to purchase a home in a relatively safe neighborhood where you have built equity. You and spouse have been fortunate to have jobs that allowed for promotions and stability. You’ve been able to be focused on your kid because a hundred things leaned in your favor. You don’t have to apologize for any of it. Like you, I have reaped the benefits of these privileges. My kid is at an Ivy, and not for one minute do I forget that it is because of the lottery I won at birth and not because I won a parenting war. [/quote]
