That wasn't my intent. I was actually trying to be encouraging that there might be a different way to see this that could help things work out for you. I was offering a perspective that might be worth thinking about. We do our best, generally, as parents, and sometimes we can't always see the forest for the trees so to speak, and lord knows we are so emotionally involved that sometimes, let's face it, we aren't particularly objective about our kids.

Sorry if I offended. That wasn't my intent.
