Chill out please. This sort ambient stress will only damage her.

'Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you, and yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
Let her BE herself

No your not crazy, but there are some problems. Your a good mother and thats great, but don't do that to her because she won't be able to handle the pressure and who knows what might happen. Just be a good mother and protect her but let her do what she wants and if she is happy with whatever choices she makes support her.

you are going to stress your daughter out. Instead of being obsessed with yourself, find the things which interest your daughter and just be supportive.
Mothers can get too competitive with their daughters. Take a page from the father's guide: provide opportunities and be her constant cheerleader.

Try to accept your daughter for who she is, top of the class or not. Everyone is skilled in different areas. The same is true of you. Just do your best with her and with yourself.

You are not crazy...but you may make your daughter crazy with this attitude. Love her and Stick up for her..but allow her to be who she is and help her to do HER best not what you or anyone else expects of her.

All mothers do that to one degree or another.
However, with time, you come to realize that it
isn't important that your child be the best at
everything - only the best at being what she
needs to be the best at.
You'll calm down over time.
