[quote=Anonymous]Lets face it though few will admit it....in areas that are affluence and where power hungry adults abound, these very same type A people (often who were part of the Alpha crowd in HS but not always) will naturally want and expect the same for their kids. And anyone who says otherwise is full of crap!!!!

I live in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods around here, my kids go to one of the most sought after privates and let me tell you I would venture to say MOST of the parents though not all would fit into this category. It is to the point of ad nauseamt, trust me I see it every day. Thankfully my kids do not feel pressured to be part of that world nor do I so this does not really affect us.

But we are surrounded. I see a little of it with my 9th grade son who happens to be a very skilled lacrosse player but is very immature and could care less about pecking orders and who is going out with who, he still plays with legos for goodness sake but I see these moms and dads in action and it is not a pretty sight.

You can go on and on about how its so odd and it doesn't really exist in numbers or that its the exception and not the rule, you are kidding yourself. Where there is affluence and a lust for power, there will be parents wanting and expecting the same out of their kids. [/quote]
