- More eyes. Many only view that board.
- Oh interesting…good to know. Thanks!
- More eyes. Many only view that board.
- Why?
- It IS a hard transition. Support them and listen. You will all get through this and I hope sunnier times are ahead.
- No advice but I can commiserate. We moved over the summer and I’ve posted here about how much my junior in high school is struggling. This is only the 3rd week of school - and the...(more)
- ^and YES I can relate to wondering if this move was a huge mistake.
- Same with my dc…saying she’ll never make friends and high school is going to be terrible experience. I also remind her to have a positive attitude and try to meet new kids. She...(more)
- Well, my kid hasn't moved but is having a rough time adjusting to high school too. We can't make all of our big decisions around trying to avoid the difficulties of adolescence....(more)
- This is what I’m hoping. It doesn’t help that close relatives are against the move and remind me pretty regularly that I should’ve just stayed put. I try to block out the negative...(more)
- I’m with you. Week two at new school. Both say are sitting alone at lunch. Makes my heart hurt
- I’m sorry…hope it gets better for your dc also.

- So overpriced. Ridiculous.
- Very generous with merit & financial aid
- it;s a good school, but lies in the shadows of greatness is all, IVY GREATNESS
- Nice school. Pretty campus, great location
- My dds college gets dinged on here and it is an incredible institution and she is transformed
- Great to hear this! I’m so glad your DD is happy!
- So overpriced. Ridiculous.
- Tween/Teen Is Connecticut college worth the money?
- Prob not but one of my kids wants a small school
- ^and does not have a top gpa so…
- Meaningless question.
- Terrific axhool
- Prob not but one of my kids wants a small school
- Tween/Teen How should I support my teen who’s struggling with making friends at a new high school in a new city? Tia.
- Offer to host or drive to facilitate hanging out
- She doesn’t want me to reach out to any parents
- Year?
- 9th grade…she’s new and apparently there’s a divide between the old and new kids. But all of her new friends apparently want to be friends with a group of kids that have been at...(more)

- Tween/Teen WWYD: got a job offer and my salary will go up but will have to commute to the office (1 hour each way) and will lose current flexibilities like working from home several days a...(more)
- No, commuting is soul sucking. I am SO fucking happy working from home and will never go back.
- I have a number in mind that would make it worth it for me. It's $50k more than I make now
- This. It has to be worth it on the whole, not just the money - unless that money is lifechanging, i wouldnt change my life
- How much do you consider to be life changing?
- This. It has to be worth it on the whole, not just the money - unless that money is lifechanging, i wouldnt change my life
- Depends. What’s the new vs old salary? Kind of job? Title?
- MUCH better job title though job will be more stressful than what I have now
- I wouldn’t do it.
- What kind of commute? Train? Driving? If driving with no traffic, maybe. But traffic would do me in. And I have absolutely zero interest in train commuting ever again.
- See I'm the opposite . Hate car commutes. Lirr or njtransit fine by me
- I like to drive, but only if I can go like 75 most of the way. If there's traffic, I'm out!
- I will sit and read through all the train delays.
- I like to drive, but only if I can go like 75 most of the way. If there's traffic, I'm out!
- 1 hour drive with traffic…no traffic or mild traffic would be 40-45 minutes
- See I'm the opposite . Hate car commutes. Lirr or njtransit fine by me
- nope. im starting a job next week where the salary is only $2k more but its ft wfh and flexible. im hybrid now
- np - just started a job and took less than I wanted (till $10k more than previous) because it is fully remote and will never have to go into an office.
- or- yep. i want to have coffee in my own living room and go on my treadmill in the basement at lunch and not have to leave the house when its a cold driving rain this winter. i...(more)
- I also love that I can get my kids off to school and then shower and get myself ready once theyre gone. Also, I am about to go fold some laundry.
- I’m really enjoying this too but this job is so much more prestigious and would be huge plus on my resume

- It would have to go up ALOT for this to work for me.
- how much is the jump in salary? flexibility is everythign to me.
- Increase would be about 30k more
- nope
- After taxes or before?
- Before….how much more $$ would make it worthwhile for me? I could probably negotiate
- Increase would be about 30k more

- It's been what, a week? And the girls are being "mean"?
- I’m sorry. Give it a little time- maybe things will settle and she’ll make some good friends
- Thanks, that’s what I’m hoping for. I guess my expectations were so high that I’m very disappointed with what I’ve see so far
- You might not be getting the whole story. here
- How old. I’d be in close contact with the school at this point during the transition. They may see more than your dc says. Maybe they can point out kids who dc gets along with
- 14
- What grade?
- they are not in uniforms?
- Tween/Teen Connecticut college, trinity or tufts?
- Tufts
- Tufts is by far the best school -- CC and Trinity are about the same, but different vibes.
- The student who gets accepted at the last one is very overqualified for the prior schools
- LOL. They are not "overqualified" -- they will meet plenty of kids at those schools who are just as bright and capable and they will certainly not max out the course offerings or...(more)
- Yes they are. CC and Trinity are safeties for the Tufts students
- For the full pay kids, sure. You are thinking like a rich person.
- It's the only way some rich people know how to think.
- Meh. But in the end, there is not much a kid will get at Tufts that they wouldn't at CC or Trinity. Besides bragging rights for their parents at cocktail parties for a few...(more)
- For the full pay kids, sure. You are thinking like a rich person.
- Yes they are. CC and Trinity are safeties for the Tufts students
- Complete crap. More and more kids go to schools like CC or Trinity because of financial considerations. If you get half off at trinity, Tufts is not worth the extra 45K/year....(more)
- Both CC and Trinity are more expensive than Tufts
- But offer a LOT more merit. A kid who gets into Tufts will get substantial merit aid at the other two and be able to graduate debt-free. And both schools have excellent faculty...(more)
- I know more and more kids going "one level down" to get as much merit aid as possible and it makes total sense. You work hard in high school and at the end, your choice is...(more)
- yup. and all these flagship publics...filled with valedictorians from in state. I don't care how easy it was for your kid to get in from Westchester

- Tween/Teen What’s your opinion of Connecticut college in New London?
- prefer a school in regular london
- I haven’t researched it but it has a reputation for being creative and not ultra academic
- New London is pretty depressing.
- It's plenty academic, come on
- I would never have gone, nor would I send a kid there.
- Really good school. Not a nice town.

- I hear you. Figure out what you need for yourself and your kids.

- who is the alienated parent?
- Me
- Did he abuse them or just you? Either way, you need to get away from him. If they see you're serious about it they will gradually forgive you, hopefully. But if they don't, you...(more)

- I had no idea there was a teen/tween board and I've been here from Day 1

- You need to divorce asap.
- For real you should. Show your son it is NOT OK to treat women like that.
- Way too late for that
- definitely walk out for good

- This is her dh’s fault . Period.
- This post has been disliked 3 times. This isn’t Saudi Arabia. Op is a grown adult who made as equal a choice as dh.
- You can leave and the kids still turn out this way. Impossible to project a specific path for your kids, JUST FYI.
- Good luck with that. Remember your choices when you see your grandson doing this to his mother.
- So you wouldn’t blame the mother then?
- Maybe she’ll have half a brain and leave.

- my husband does this too. The kids are probably scared of some type of consequences if they don’t side with him.
- You’re disgusting. Why don’t you women close your fucking legs and stop this shit already?
- Was your Dad like this too?
- And my mother. She still cries about how much she loves him. Garbage humans.
- What were your grandparents like?
- Worse trash
- Have you been able to break the cycle?
- I had to cut entire family out completely to do so. Father is a sociopath and mother a sniveling doormat.
- But I am a dd. My brother is an abuser.
