<p>We all go through periods of life when we think our kids don’t appreciate us, think we don’t know squat, and everything they are and have become is “just by accident” as if we didn’t have a thing to do with it.</p>

<p>DD just started job training this morning for her new job as a “tele-mentor.” She has 5 high school seniors that she will personally guide through their admissions process. These kids were selected through QB, and she has a diverse group from 3 states.</p>

<p>So DD has her first session of job training this morning, just 2 hours. She then calls me immediately to tell me “thanks mom, I didn’t realize everything all of this entails. I really like the admissions stuff, but the FA is so complicated!” She then apologizes for making fun of me for being on College Confidential for the god knows how many hours I have spent here.</p>

<p>Sigh, 2 years later after I started here, she finally “gets it!”</p>

<p>It’s nice to be appreciated by your kid. :)</p>

<p>Good job, mom.</p>

<p>I wish she’d add this mom to her tele-mentoring pool!</p>

<p>Good job, mom, and good job, D. It’s great she is mentoring others! And you have only 900 posts vs. my 12k+!</p>
