[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I truly believe that people who think posting about their kids is bragging are probably more full of themselves than the ones who are doing the "bragging." In other words, if you kid got accepted to Columbia (I'm talking to you Columbia mom) and you don't share it with friends, then you must think you are too good to let us in on it.[/quote] This is bizarre. What logic did you use to get here? How can you equate being sensitive to others' feelings with being "full of it"? You know that the definition of bragging is to build yourself up and, whether you explicitly intend it or not, the result is that you put others below you. During this stressful period where, as PPs have pointed out, equally hardworking and equally qualified kids are accepted or rejected by what seems like luck, and everybody is trying to read the tea leaves, it seems particularly unempathetic for PP to post that we have some "right" to brag.
