No parent seeks to put pressure on their kids to do well in school and be successful, but we all want the best for the people in our lives, especially ones we've raised ourselves. When it comes time for report cards and science fairs, it'll be nice for the kids to know they're not trying to impress their parents alone, and they may even try harder in order to one-up their siblings (of course, I'll love them no matter what, but a little healthy competition never hurt anybody, right?).
