[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot imagine, as a junior in high school, asking my mother to shop for a homecoming dress for me.
Is this how teens are now??
A coworker whose daughter just left for college said she calls every day asking to come home. She's only about 90 minutes from home.
Sorry to hijack but this is crazy to me. My kids are still in elementary.[/quote]

OP here.  My kid doesn't have a f-ing minute to breathe (as a junior).  She comes home from varsity soccer at 6pm, eats dinner, and does 4-5 hours of homework.  She easily has 60 minutes per class--calculus BC, physics C, AP Spanish literature etc.  Plus she writes for the school paper, runs two clubs, etc.  It's freaking ridiculous.

What's different from when we were kids is that kids didn't have this degree of homework (or at least I didn't) plus have the pressure to have a resume that rivals most 30 year olds'.  She asked me to look for dress ideas because she literally does not have an hour to spare on this until the weekend and by that time it will be too late for shipping.  If she had an extra hour she would go to bed earlier.

It's ridiculous and it sucks and I'm not sure how we got here.  what happened to having fun buying a dress?  Sigh.  It's the life of a top achieving kid in 2023. [/quote]
