[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Late to the party here. OP, in answer to your question, it feels like you are over-reacting. There is still plenty of time, particularly when measured on the teenager timeframe. Plus, if they miss EA, is it really the end of the world? These are your final days with them in the house. Why turn it into a disciplinary World War III - which won't work anyway. Also, DH hasn't been given an opportunity to represent his perspectives here -- so for those of you advising divorce over the writing of essays, perhaps it is worth thinking a bit more deeply before coming to that conclusion. Perhaps he is just saying out loud that he'll write the essays as an attempt to turn down the level of concern and heat that is apparent in OP's post? Perhaps DH is fully expecting the kids to step up and is just buying time? Perhaps what DH really means is that he will provide advice and support when the kids are ready? [/quote] A lot of schools fill their acceptance mostly in EA. That's a lot of "perhaps". I think OP knows her DH better than you do.[/quote]
