[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You may not tell your kid, but believe me he probably knows. Focus on where he is happy to be going and encourage him to make the most of his time there.

This ridiculous notion that you are defined by where you go to college is quite frankly toxic and stupid and being ashamed of your own kid based on thing is even worse.  You are his parent, start acting like it.[/quote]

OP, you are a bad parent. You want what is best for you, not your kid.  [b]Good parents want what is best for their kid. [/b] He should be ashamed to have you as a parent. [/quote]

puhlease. I am not the OP, but sometimes, or even often, people don't get what is best for them. it is entirely possible to get rejected by a college that would, in fact, be best for you, were you accepted.[/quote]

Yes. This. We can sit with parents who need this outlet to vent so they can Jeep it together for their kid. Much better to vent here than to breathe a word where the child might hear.[/quote]
