[quote=Anonymous]my mom did something similar to me over the years - not regarding schools but enrichment activities.  first she started me as a toddler in ice skating.  by 9 years old i was pretty darn good and had already been in 3 local competitions.  i was ready for the next level and BAM.  she said it was getting too expensive and time consuming, so i was 100% done with ice skating.  there were no more lessons, period.  i was devastated.  next was acting.  i started doing plays in my middle school, was part of the set design team, etc.  i loved it.  i joined an acting troupe in my town and it was so much fun.  my troupe was offered spots to perform in Chicago's annual Nutcracker performance (we lived in the suburbs) which, of course, entailed rehearsals downtown.  my mom absolutely forbid me to do it, saying that she didn't want to drive me to and from Chicago.  i am not even sure if she checked to see if carpooling was available. needless to say, i was the ONLY one in the troupe who did not perform in the Nutcracker that year.  it was an amazing experience for all of them, it was a one time thing, and my mom could not bring herself to make it work for me just ONE time.

these are just two examples of what my mom actively did to me, OP.  yes, actively did.  they were not even passive decisions.  it took me a looooong time to not feel betrayed by her.  do you really want your DD to feel that way about you?    [/quote]
