It’s easy to get swept up in the grade/college/anxiety game. I remember being at a luncheon once and these “super moms” were discussiing the extra curriculars that would make a difference to college counselors -> I overheard: “Soccer is just a waste of time…every kid does it”… Their kids were maybe 7 years old. I acutally called my husband on the way home and said maybe we should enroll our grade school child in Chinese language classes to help her get into college. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard him laugh so hard.

On that note…everytime I read Emory2013’s post #6 on this thread…I start laughing :D
