[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I hear you.  Both my husband and my kids fit your description and sometimes it really gets me down.  I do not have too much to offer other than this:  1.  The pp who talked about her son's health issue raises excellent points.  2.  I have several friends with Ivy degrees who have children with significant special needs.  That puts things in perspective.  3.  I know plenty of people who went to mid-tier schools who are doing great (in life outlook and $$$).  True, they have other stellar life skills, mostly emotional intelligence or some unique interest that served them well, so you never know.  4.   You are not alone.   I thought this was interesting: http://thechoice.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/10/20/a-fathers-acceptance/.[/quote]

I think there are more special need kids because the ages people are having kids, Ivy parents especially.

Younger parents are so much more easy going.  It seems like the older parents want to force their college success on young kids because they are too impatient realizing they aren't going to be around to see much?  I don't know. But the older parents with one kid seem to just be the worst IMO[/quote]

You provide an interesting analysis and opinion.  Come to think of it, I am inclined to agree with you...[/quote]
