[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t displace your trauma onto your child. Yes, it is normal to hope your child has a better life than you. No, if your kid doesn’t get into Georgetown or higher, it does not mean you “screwed up”. Put your feelings aside & be the adult for the kid, and help them figure out which college is the best fit for them. This is definitely a case where it’s not about you.[/quote] +1 the world has changed and the metrics for everything has changed. There are lots of places that may have not been on our radar screens when we were choosing colleges 30 years ago, where our kids can have a happy, fulfilling college experience. Go with the kid you have, not with your 1990’s kid version or with the kid you think you should have been. [/quote]
