I cant understand how you don't get it. You changed out of the norm, to give your child an ADVANTAGE. You CHEATED; it simply doesn't matter if others cheated. I think it is funny, to me it sounds like you think you are creating an even playing field.

Its simple, it didn't work for your child on age, whether academically or athletically, so you changed the game. It doesn't have to be illeagal to be cheating.

I wish I had the balls not to care enough and simply hold back my children. Maybe im just jealous. I am quite sure they would be better off, both academically and athletically, if i did and by the way they do quite well in each being on age (also summer birthdays).
