Pologirl got into her two other schools with full funding too.

And now she's off to Belize for Spring Break. Not remotely envious. not. NOT.

Way to go, moms!

Best two posts all day.
Thank you, I needed that.
You two Moms deserve credit here, please understand that. Your children are using their agency to take care of what needs to be done.

Minifob's action was simpler and Pologirl's report is more of a fiinish line for a particular multi lap race, but both show that they know what to do and how to get it done.

As a parent, we often wonder if they're even hearing us. It can be exasperating, discouraging even. I am a little less discouraged. I thank you for making the world a little better.

monster's passive aggression: she's taking carry-on only. All our cases are shitty and old and were bought at thrift stores for a couple of bucks. I had been thinking of buying a nice swivel one. (for when I start on my travel fucket list ....any moment now....). So had she as she travels a lot, but she ran out of time to shop. I could have bought her one. But I bought me one and lent it to her, so at least my case is going.....

and it's purple

Oh Good Lord, I'mm'a be broke. Thunderboy is also going to be a Wolverine at University of Michigan Dearborn. GO BLUE

Three down! I repeat, we have FULL CONVERSION of all three specimens in the child-to-adult chambers! Bring the supervisor a case of beer, stat!

Not until all three have their PhDs, that's a couple dollars away.

No no no. In Grifftopia we pay for one degree, after that you're on your own. Other supports are still available on an as needed basis.

You will have you sword broken, and all the members turn their backs, as you're drummed out of the helicopter parent league.
All those years of teaching and guiding, even while you built the house... all smoke and mirrors.
I knew all along you were a poser not fit for the league.

wow that was very inspiring.

SonofV told me yesterday that he "wished I'd learned this earlier" when struggling through his trials.

I'm proud that he said this in the first person, and not putting the blame on others.

That's more mature than a lot of what I hear from "grown-ups" in my daily life.

monster · 03-16-2019, 08:33 AM

That's very heartening

Gravdigr · 03-16-2019, 02:34 PM

Cool.
