[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry, OP. This is hard! And stupid DCUM regulars just make it worse. Here are some solutions (my kid went to a safety but she chose it and was excited about it and was very glad to graduate debt free): 1. Be very very neutral about the safeties. Without tipping your hand that you’re doing it, even casually find good things to say about them. 2. Start talking about all the love these schools have shown her. Toss in things about how it’s nice to go where you’re wanted. 3. Never say the expression “dream school” again and do not look at the “commits” page on social media for your child’s school. Do not ask where kids are going. Put your head in the sand because the comparison is driving you nuts and will rub off on your kid. Everyone’s path is different- not better or worse. 4. Keep your fingers crossed about the smaller schools offering you merit- I hope they do! 5. Report back. You’ve got this, OP!![/quote]
