I agree with you, AlphaGamUGaAlum. GCers,please don't rip on a heartbroken mom. In times of distress, and let me tell you that having your daughter go through a SEC recruitment is one of those, you may say things that you do or don't mean. You're tired, tense, your daughter may be heartbroken and she doesn't understand why girls with much lower GPAs and practically no activities are sailing gloriously through recruitment and she's only got a couple of groups left and they don't seem all that interested or interesting either. I don't think anyone can understand the horrible pain of seeing your children suffer rejection unless they've been there. Only having watched someone else suffer that just doesn't qualify.
I'm no helicopter parent-we have too many to me to hover too closely, yet I have felt the stark pain of some of my girls as 6 rushed over the past 7 years. There are at least 8 moms on GC this very day who know all too well what it's like to have a daughter rush. If you haven't had a child in a very selective situation, you can't begin to understand it.
Any other GC moms who are rush veterans care to comment?
