Why do you put a "My Child is an Honor Roll Student at XXX" sticker on your car?

Exactly what my daughter would say. |

These honor roll stickers aren't trying to make one kid feel better than another.... there is room on the honor roll for EVERY child in the school. It's not a competition where some win and therefore some have to lose.
If the parent had a sticker that said "First place baseball team" does that insult anyone else? No. But, in fact, it is making a point that they are better than the other teams. Yet nobody would have a problem with it. I think OP has (a) too much time to worry about bumpers and (b) perhaps some insecurity about his/her children not being on the honor roll? We should ALL celebrate kids who make the honor roll! Good for them! |

Uh, they're just little vinyl stickers. They peel right off. It's not a major commitment where you'd say "well, yes, things seem great now, and I don't *think* we're getting divorced, and I'd like to put these stickers on, but, well, maybe I better not, just in case DH runs off with his secretary & then I'll have to spend 30 seconds peeling my stick figure DH off my rear windshield." |

22:17 - I hate the responses that tell people to get help, but I really think it applies in your case. Really, it's a sticker. If it makes you feel better make your own that says whatever makes you get over your insecurities. But don't be such a bully as to randomly seek out things to complain about directed at other children. It's obvious and very, very pathetic. I think I know who this is.

Maybe you could just move the dad sticker to the other side of the car, and add a sticker for "new mommy?" |

You could add new mommy right next to the rest of family if this were someplace with multiple mommies for one greedy daddy with multiple "wives". |

OP, FWIW I don't remember my (down county MoCo) schools offering these stickers, though other schools did. I wouldn't have wanted the sticker displayed on our family car - it would have made it look like we were "trying too hard." Making the honor roll was simply... expected.
And I'm not talking about my parents' expectations, their expectations were simply that we do our best. I'm talking about the expectations/culture of the students (at least starting from MS). |

yes it is a sticker-not every child will win at everything, may as well get used to it and not expect everyone to be equal. I don't feel bad if your child feels bad bc I have a sticker on my car. If that's the case please think about how to raise you child's self-confidence without ours having to hide theirs |

Um, re-reead what I wrote. The child doesn't feel bad because she sees *OTHER* people people with stickers on their cars. The child feels bad because her own mother is too shallow to put a sticker on her car celebrating her child making the honor roll. Do you have reading comprehension issues? I was *mocking* the women who think the stickers are tacky and would never put the ghasty sticker on their cars! Your comment makes no sense in regards to what I wrote. |
