I don't know, G. I hate to say this...
I have yet to experience the "spark" from either of them that I desperately want to see. As a parent, I have to admit that I've dialed down my expectations. The American Dream feels to me like a fantasy right now. I have begun to expect that they simply will not achieve in their lives beyond (or even at the level) what I have. Bothers the s**t out of me, but that's what I see. I don't know if it's because of our parenting or because of their environment, but there you have it.
[sorry] Depressing thought for the day. [/sorry]

I am not giving up, G. I can't help the questions about my / our parenting; that's just unavoidable as those questions never end.Oh yeah, HS is tough... I've been kinda dreading this period through the years, but it's on the doorstep.
Wish me luck.
And, please, don't apologize for offering up your thoughts; I do appreciate it.
