[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many parents bring an extremely unhealthy competitive background. To the point of assuming everyone is in direct competition and everyone is scheming to get an unfair advantage however minute.

There is a broad ignorance about mental health issues and many of these posters exhibit troublesome paranoia traits that have little anchoring in reality.

I’m sympathetic to these people whom were active posters in this thread, but they end up hurting people around them including their own kids. It’s important to bring awareness and perspective.[/quote]

Holding your kids back without good reason seems the height of entitlement and mental illness. They are the competitive parents trying to give their kids the edge.  [/quote]

I’m not mentally ill.  I decided I would rather send my 18 almost 19 year old child to college than my not quite 18 year old.  So he started kindergarten late.  I am sorry if that offends you.[/quote]

So, you are bullying others to do what you do to rationalize it.  My kid will be a few week of 17 in college. Not a big deal.  Far better than being 18 in hs.  [/quote]

I’m not a Lafayette parent or a DC resident and am not bullying anyone.  I did what I thought was best for my child and you did what you felt was best for yours.  The fact that I made a choice that you personally didn’t make for your kid doesn’t make it wrong and doesn’t make me a bad parent.[/quote]

Yes you are. You are very hostile and nasty.  There are rules for a reason.  I hope your kids don’t resent you for holding them back. [/quote]

Hostile and nasty how?  Because I made a decision that you don’t agree with?

My kid is thriving.  Good grades, good friends, and happy!  I hope your child is as well…that is all any parent wants for their kids and hopefully drives your decision making.[/quote]

Too bad they are not with true peers in the appropriate grade.  [/quote]

Oh yes..it’s just terrible that they are doing well and have friends…🙄🙄[/quote]

Since they are doing great/no issues, there was no reason to hold them back except your ego.  Zero reason.  They would have done great in their age appropiate grade level and had friends too.[/quote]

Ok, so it was the ego, what’s the problem with that? Maybe they would have done equally well sent earlier. Maybe not, you’ll know because you can’t turn back the time.
