Be careful, or your kids will be trying to save every insect they come across. I came home the other day to find my kids and nanny staring intently at a patch of ground - turns out they had insisted on rescuing a worm from a robin and were making sure it got safely back in the ground.

Not just for the single child. It's for the "lesser" (in whatever way), child. My sister is married with two kids, needs to work (kids are in school fulltime) but won't and my parents help support them and make all sorts of excuses for her. It's ridiculous. But the parents need to do this I think so as to not admit their child's (and in some way theirs i guess) failings.

Then that explains why most of these kids were so bad. If you don't correct a 3 year old right away, it really means nothing. Throwing dirt in the instructor's face or rocks at the other parents is not something you let go and address when you decide the moment is more appropriate.

OP: The HR rep did say that I would be a better fit for another team in the same company and I get it. BUT, the reason they are using is something they can see on my resume. Why have me go through interviews with 8+ people for multiple days? Oh well, carry on.

I think declaring yourself a WASP and setting naming guidelines that other people should follow is pretentious. I bet you think non-WASPS using classic, WASP names is also pretentious and "striving." So no-win for those people.

My dc's name is both a traditional first name and last name, but technically it's my mother's maiden name and we always planned to use it.
