[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, investigate marriage counseling.

I don't know what advice you are looking for from this parental message board, but yours is the most pathetic post I have ever read on this forum. It doesn't sound like you need to run away from your family, it seems that you and your husband have extremely different values and need help working through those conflicts.

I have three kids that went through this process. Only one of the three was a serious student, but ALL three wrote their own essays.[b]I can't imagine anything different.[/b]

NP. I find your post to much more pathetic than OP’s. If you have no imagination and no empathy, why bother to post? Just to feel superior? That’s truly dreadful.

OP, I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. Like others have said, your DH’s approach is bizarre, and your kids need to give you a schedule of when they will do the applications so you can supervise appropriately. I’m the much more laid back parent in my household, but I’d absolutely be freaking out if the kids were doing so little on this front. Agree that there is likely some anxiety at work because it’s an unfamiliar process.[/quote]

For clarity: I can’t imagine allowing my kids to submit anything they didn’t write themselves.
And I believe that this couple needs professional counseling to help resolve the issue. She’s talking about moving out for a while, that sounds destructive for the family.[/quote]
