Are you ever sad when you hear about highly successful kids?

[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 460953, member: 1550"] The people I know who were high achievers remained that way. I am proud of my kids, don't get me wrong. SportsFan had mental health issues that kept him from doing finishing college. It's too bad. He's so sorry he never went. He does have a really good job, but it bothers him that he never did get that four year degree...he feels he could have done a lot better. He tried to go and work at the same time, but it was too hard to do it and way too expensive and now he has a son. My daughter, the Pastry Chef, is the one who did drugs...I am so proud of HER I could burst. She came the closest to having the college experience. The two year college s he is at is one of the best in the country and now she works there. Sonic...who knows? I just want him to be happy and productive and I think he will be, although he will have limits due to his disability. Jumper....she is the typical easy child/Teen most people love to have...her LDs are really holding her back from her dreams. I do worry about her. And I still get a bit of a tug at my heart (although I shouldn't) when I hear about that college kid who is going to be a doctor and plays sports too. I so badly want at least one of my kids to have that college experience, especially Jumper, since she wants it so badly. Oh, I know. I'm just being a big baby...lol. Enough of my pity-party. I've just been hearing a lot about successful young adults and teens lately. [/QUOTE]
