[quote=Anonymous]I agree it's very sad for parents to watch. Probably not as sad for our DC. There is a really good few paragraphs in The Glass Castle where the author is talking to her counselor about leaving high school a year early to move to NY for a job. She lives in utter poverty and neglect, to the point where she is starving and smells, and she is working towards an early escape from her hellish home life. The counselor thinks this is a bad idea because she would miss Senior Week. You don't come off as quite that myopic, but.... sort of. Try to make this a memorable and fun year for your DC, under the circumstances we find ourselves in. It's reality. Make the most of it. Your kids are young and vibrant and will remember these times fondly, even if they're not your fantasy plans for them.[/quote]
