Why do people need to apologize about their child going to Princeton? My child will not be going to Princeton, but I can still be happy for those that got the school they wanted - Princeton or otherwise. Our neighbor's child is going to Yale. Very happy about it.[/quote]

Why are you "very happy" that your neighbor's kid is going to Yale?  I'll tell you why -- because that kind of stuff is very important to you.  That's how you measure people.  Odd.[/quote]

Do you have any actual friends?  You don’t seem to understand how friendships work, on even a most basic level.  [/quote]

I actually have many.  And I manage to keep them by not bragging about my kids on social media.[/quote]

New poster. PP said that they were very happy [b]for their friend[/b] and their friend’s kid’s exciting news. Supporting and celebrating and being happy for your friends is indeed how friendships work.

Also, sharing news on Facebook is not bragging. It’s why many people are on Facebook in the first place. So they can hear about and share in the exciting news of their friends. There are definitely many downsides of Facebook, but one of the huge upsides is how it enables people to stay in touch with a much larger network of friends than most could have managed in the past, and share in their ups and downs. If you don’t like to do that, suit yourself.[/quote]
