UGAAlum94: You know, my Momie Dearest told me one time that what she hated the most about me was that I could do whatever I had to do. I took it as a compliment.
I would never have put my child in this position. I would rather have exercised more control over her choice of school than to tell her she couldn't have what her sibling had. My next door neighbors have 3 daughters. Father has a PhD in chemistry. Mother was no slouch either (she has passed away). All 3 girls were told from their youngest years that they would go to school wherever they got the best offer. ALL 3 got full rides - one getting early Med School acceptance too. And the parents paid for the extras. But all 3 danced, entered Miss Alabama, etc to get scholarships. All 3 made above 32 on their ACTs. So no one was short changed. And all 3 have gotten advanced degrees.. One is working on her THIRD masters. I'm just saying that as a parent you do what you have to do. You don't play favorites because you are going to lose that child if you do.
