[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with Op completely - my kid is planning to attend a good school, but was accepted into significantly better schools.  He has been subject to so much pressure from peers and their parents that he is settling and making a big mistake.  It has caused my DC great emotional distress and made him question his own decisions.  I can't stand the DMV and the snobbish behavior of people - DCUM of course takes it to a completely new level![/quote]

This. DC got accepted to UNC and UVA and decided to go to UNC. People, including parents, have acted like DC is going to a terrible school and keep asking why DC would turn down UVA for UNC. Just congratulate the kid and move on.[/quote]

If you live in VA and turn down UVA I could see where the question comes from.  If not then who cares? Both schools are great and logical people know this.  [/quote]

But they should simply just congratulate the kid and parents for wherever the kid wants to go.  [/quote]

A lot of people "should" do things...they don't.  What's your remedy in life for what you think people "should" do vs. "don't" do other than complain about it on an anonymous internet board?  People are mean, the world is tough, learn to live with it and teach you spawn to not give a Fu@k what other people think...FFS.[/quote]

Yeah don’t try to change anything, just know your place, the world is just…hmm.[/quote]

I love how the PP who said it’s up to the kids to be confident, secure, mature, etc. and if they’re not it’s a failure of parenting blah blah, is so upset by all these posts that she just cannot stop coming back to defend herself  :lol: [/quote]
