I need intervention, y'all.


Similar spot for me. My 13-year old is deciding between 3 public high school options and has to make a decision by Friday. Ye olde spreadsheet of pros and cons was prepared. Daughter won't have anything to do with it. She appears to be completely paralyzed by the decision-making process but won't accept any parental assistance with trying to formulate an approach to make the decision. Frustrating, because she's usually very level-headed. And as grown-ups, we know how much establishing a structure to the decision-making process can help with reducing the stress.
