I'm glad for you. I've never been able to get out of the Greta, even though I was a faithful commenter who had hundreds of stars on many comments. This was under an old name, which I lost. I stayed away for a long time, because it's depressing to stay in the greys!!!

I love Spinal Tap like a child!!!

Clueless, Shaun of the Dead, O Brother Where Art Thou? Jaws, Ghostbusters, Godfather one and two, Goodfellas, Legally Blonde

Good for you! The weird thing is, her peers don’t have jobs like hers, so it’s not peer competition. She’s a bit of a unicorn. She puts this on herself.

I would star this 100 times if I could.

Despite the fact that we never cared about our daughter’s grades as long as she tried, and that we would have been perfectly content if she’d been a fire fighter or a baker or a school teacher (all very worthy pursuits), she puts tremendous pressure on herself to be ultra successful. It’s some kind of obsession among…

Fair enough. I concede.

My last response. I'm tired!

Yes. I know her pedigree. As I noted further down the thread.
