[quote=Anonymous]Being average is totally ok OP; most folks in the DMV area are just average. Having well adjusted adult kids with a solid profession and ability to launch is a huge parental success in my opinion. A lot of folks in the DMV chase a unicorn and want their elementary age kids to be exceptional by paying for extra tutoring, Kumon, Russian School of Math, travel teams, god knows what, and etc.....which causes parental/kid burnout. Maybe you can just provide a happy supportive home and develop their interests/passions? Not everyone will be a Division I - III athlete, an Olympian, or a successful power attorney, scientist, politician. A well-adjusted young adult with a solid profession which is completely off your books by age 23, is your real success story. As far as these feelings of yours, recommend seeking some sort of therapy to address this. [/quote]
