Perhaps, It wasn't them- it was YOU!

I don’t think anyone is accusing you of lying, Sunflower. I believe you are the one who began with a number of accusations. The rest of us were just here, hanging out in a friendly fashion, and taken by surprise.

There is no way to know what we have all done or not done for our children, unless we live in each other's houses.  I also did not write my daughter's essays (they would have been better if I had!) or fill out her applications.  I did help to find her excellent teachers and lesson, and I sure have paid a whole lot of money.  I went with her to auditions, but sat quietly, waiting with love and anxiety for it all to be over.

 Anyway, I have learned almost everything I needed to know from CC.  Due to other's efforts, I learned about good schools, how and when to have my daughter apply, what to expect during auditions, and all kinds of stuff.  Most of what I learned, my daughter was not interested in knowing.  But, it was comforting and helpful to me.  I am glad to "know" people here, and send them all my best wishes for their families.  I wish your son success as well, Sunflower.  It is a tough world out there, and we all need to try to be positive and strong for each other.  Hopefully we will all see each other at the Tonys someday.  I doubt it, but wouldn't that be nice!  I hope, if you want to be a part of our "community" that you can enter in with more curiosity and openness.  We are not who you seem to think that we are.
