WTH is your point?

My point is someone said, "congrats!" a response that could only be suitable for a student. the parent didn't get in anywhere.

People congratulated my parents at my wedding, and on the birth of their first grandson -- they certainly didn't do anything to make that last one happen.

Weird. People congratulated my husband and myself at our wedding, although I think they told my parents it was a nice ceremony. Then again we're from the Midwest -- maybe taking credit for your kids successes, life events is more common out East?

Congratulating (or being congrats by) someone has nothing to do with "taking credit for kids success". Maybe in Midwest but not here.

Oh yes, yes, yes! Yes, I will brag, I have the right to brag. My DS, ASD, a boy whose middle school teachers told me we should prepare for a career pushing shopping carts , who called him "lazy", got accepted to 3 colleges out of 7 he applied to. And they are all good schools: Catholic University, GMU and Penn State.

Thank you! He did get rejected by Virginia Tech so he was a bit sad about that. But all of these schools have good engineering programs, I am sure he will be fine.
