Mine want me to do the best I can, but they don't pressure me. If I'm happy with my efforts and marks then they're happy - they never check if I'm study or force me to study, just make sure that I eat/drink/sleep.
That's pretty much our attitude toward our kids as well. At the moment I just try to keep my youngest (& last HSCer) motivated as after 12:30pm tomorrow it will all be over. We could never be disappointed in him only sympathise if he is disappointed in himself - after all, that's the person he has to please when it's all said and done (but only as a sense of acheivement - he'll slay the ATAR he needs for the course he wants to do).

We think it is really important to simply provide support and love - we are very proud of both our sons (the other is currently sitting 3rd year Uni physics, maths & engineering exams). I really don't understand some parents... :/

lol omnipotence you troll ):


My parents are terrible, all throughout my exams i tried to sleep after i got home because i started having this routine where I'd do all-nighter study sessions

but everyday my mother just wouldn't get it and yelled at me every 10 minutes or maybe every hour to get the fuck up and study or else i'm not going to get into commerce and telling me to kill myself. Or things like if you don't get up in half an hour we're kicking you out of the house.

It was really shit anti-motivation.

No i don't. They have no confidence in me trying for anything else in the world so they're like, just work at a banking firm or be an accountant. It's so insulting.

Would try to respond with something like that but my parents speak a foreign language I'm terrible at. It's awkward so I just tell them to go away ):
