[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a thing young adults are all doing now - analyzing their childhoods with a focus on all the ways their parents were not perfect.  They have no idea what it's like to try to raise children, and the choices we have to make.  It's our job to make sure they have what they need to be successful, and there is no instruction manual to follow to make that happen.  You did your best.  You can certainly try to tweak your parenting to avoid putting so much pressure on the younger siblings, but you should not feel awful.  Your kid went to an Ivy.  Some of the rest of us are feeling awful because our kids can barely get into a state school.  [/quote]

Yes, parents want their kids to be successful, do well in school, good grades, college ect. And hopefully become successful adults, but you don't have to steal their childhoods for that.[/quote]

Please provide a link to the instruction manual entitled "How to raise successful children without stealing their childhood," and also a link to the one that provides the precise criteria for "stealing their childhood" versus "parenting."  I would like to see that data.  [/quote]

Your response (which you clearly think is clever) is actually a perfect example of the type of rigid personality that leads to stealing your kids’ childhoods.[/quote]
