[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First kid did unusually well, admitted to HYPS without a hook. A couple of parents ghosted me forever, and a couple more went out of their way to share their views on my child’s social/emotional deficiencies. A couple were genuinely happy for her. You definitely learn who your friends are![/quote]

That’s awful! Wtf is wrong with people?

I am currently on a trip with my child who is auditioning for performing arts scholarships at schools this board would laugh at. In the middle of this, I got a text from a teacher begging her to turn in her assignments so she doesn’t get a D in her class.

So even though she managed to get a couple acceptances, I now think I have to tell my child with ADHD and associated other issues we’re not throwing money down a black hole when she is going to have to fight to just graduate high school at this point. If she can’t take school seriously now, I’m not assuming she’s going to magically figure it out next fall.

I am more envious that other people have kids that don’t struggle so darn much. I was a kid that did well in school without much effort, so this child has been such a challenge as a parent because I truly do not understand her and what makes her tick.

I guess my child will be getting a job and going to community college now. Yes, I am sad and frustrated :([/quote]

PP here — sorry you’re frustrated. Parenting is the hardest job there is.[/quote]

Thank you for this. We were at one of the schools this morning (we were already at our Airbnb last night). I wasn’t going to pull her out of the auditions last minute. I don’t know-so conflicted because I know she has the potential, she just FAAFO way too much. Yes, parenting is so incredibly hard. I try so hard to do the right thing, and things always seem to backfire.[/quote]
