be the best in our town

Pushy parents baffle me.
Not talking about people who encourage kids to do better. I mean the ones who want their kids to BE THE BEST-IN THE WORLD.

I often seen them on media talking proudly (and maniacally) of their parental choices. But I never hear any 'ex' pushy parents talking about their kids developing eating disorders or some form of social impediments. Sometimes suicides. Even failing.

I genuinely want to know how they feel.

Are you an ex pushy parent, whose offspring snapped under your relentless pressure? What do you feel? Resentment? Disappointment? Bewilderment?
