Are parents more nervous than Kids??

<p>As M10 approaches, It looks like that most comments in prep boards are posted by parents... My son seem to have forgotten the calendar (maybe pretend to).. . How about you? </p>

<p>It is finally here. Good Luck to everyone!</p>

<p>Our child is a bit in denial she is leaving her current school (which she loves but it’s not the best fit academically) so she hasn’t really focused on M10. She got her first acceptance today and it was to her second choice school, so now she’s not at all nervous. She feels she will get into every school (even though she knows that can’t possibly be true). As her parent I know the odds (of course), and I know the odds aren’t great for another acceptance, so yes, I’d say I’m more nervous than she is to be certain…</p>

<p>You, too! I am definitely more nervous this round for some reason. (And we’ve been through the process twice before.) Meanwhile, my applicant child is relaxed and rolling with it today. Tomorrow might be another story…</p>

<p>Heh. Twice burned… Of course I’m nervous; probably more than my son.</p>

<p>Son not on CC. It would drive him crazy LOL.</p>

<p>Okay, I admit it I am nervous…and it doesn’t help that I am off work today…I need to be doing many other things. I have tried not to mention that the 10th is upon us. My daughter has been busy with a school project due today so hopefully she is not losing sleep like I am…</p>

<p>Definitely more nervous than son. After the application was sent in, son started liking his current school more and more, so he is oblivious as to M10. On one hand, glad we finally reached this point. On the other, nervous about crossing “the invisible line” of knowing.</p>

<p>I am experiencing something similar to knownothingmom. I am very nervous and anxious about my two sons news, and they really are oblivious, or at least they don’t talk about it and seem to be functioning just fine. That being said, having received day school acceptances recently have definitely eased the whole family’s nerves because at this point it is just choice, and that is really what I think most of us want… is a choice. </p>

<p>Our news started out with an early WL from a school that was one of my sons first choice, which was a setback, but I agree with the advice that is on the board… love the one that loves you and right now my boys (and my DH and I) are in love with the day schools that love them, and hopefully there will be more love tomorrow… for everyone! :)</p>

<p>I’m from the South, and I only know of two other moms going through this process; new for us too but I find CC both informative, and somewhat comforting;).</p>
