Did you cry at your kid’s HS graduation?

[Anonymous]

I just get teary eye more often now then before. Don't know why. Becoming a mom changed me alot. I actually care about other people. When you hear about people graduating or making big accomplishments, my kid finishing up (just) 7th grade, when he goes off to college, will i be alive to witness it! All sorts of things. Even hearing the national anthem....I wasn't even born in the US!

No. Nor at college at drop up. Kids are supposed to grow up.

I did at the two older kids high school graduations, but didn't at college drop off. Think it was an ending of a phase of my life and so shed some tears. We'll see what happens with the youngest in a couple of years.

Same. I'm also not someone who referred to my kid going to a school as "we" go to Kennedy High School. Some people seemed really wrapped up in their kids.

Probably, but they'll be gentle tears of joy. As a few PPs have mentioned, I'll be very happy and emotional to see many of our DC's friends graduate too, some of whom have had a very difficult road.

As they say, live moves on. Thank goodness. Whew!

This. Nor did I write my child’s college applications or become overly invested in where they go. The parents on this board who are all stressed out senior year? I was not them. They all get in somehow here and it works out.
