[QUOTE="Star*, post: 136202, member: 4964"] Fran, I think you said it better than I did. It's not that I ever minimize anyone's struggle - it's just my brain is dealing with 1000 things a day and when you hear someone say "I just don't know what I am going to do with this teenager of mine - DO YOU BELIEVE she actually took Honors Spanish OVER college 2 calculus? =I just can't even believe it - she's SO headstrong - she's my "problem" child" - THAT is what I'm subjected to. Or was rather. In that circumstance I tried to remain up beat and positive by saying "It sounds like you are really angry about your daughters choices." and I got "She is RUINING her life and chance to get into a GREAT college like (said name) not some lower form of college like (mine)." At that point you realize it's futile and keep away. And like others to a point - people have stopped asking - but I never do. I figure I try to treat others like I'd like to be treated. [/QUOTE]
