[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is such a weird post.  Firstly, it wasn't my news to share.  Secondly, while they may have told their closest friends where they were applying, they definitely did NOT announce each acceptance letter.  Thirdly, kids only use Facebook to appease their old-people relatives.  So they may post "Yale class of 2020!" but then they close Facebook and go back to Snapchat. They're not monitoring each like or reply on Facebook, because they don't care.

Nobody asked ME how *I* did it, because *I* did not get into an Ivy.  My children did.  I doubt anyone asked them how they did it, because anyone who knows them knows they spent hours working on grades, and extras.  [/quote]

Tiger / type-A parenting books are popular. That's what I meant about how'd you do it questions.[/quote]

Oh. I don't consider myself to have gotten into an Ivy, what with ... not having gotten into one and all.  I think my kids didn't really care.  They were pretty burnt out at that point and ready to coast through the rest of their senior years.  Once a decision was made which school they were going to, I think they were relieved.[/quote]
