[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand parental pride when their kid is recruited and gets into any tie of college. But you have to understand that when you gloat about this to other parents whose kids may better or as qualified for school X and don't get in, it's not appreciated. Of course you can share with friends, but the crowing that i see at parties and random run ins at the grocery store etc are tasteless. [/quote] So what is really chapping your hide is that these people don't realize that your kid is better than their kid? You are really insecure. When someone tells me good news about their kid, my reaction is "Awesome!" I'm not mentally ranking their kid and whether or not my kid is "better" than their kid. They have an awesome kid. I have an awesome kid. It's not a competition. We're all excited about our kids moving into the next stage of their life. It's fun to hear happy news about other people's kids. It makes me happy that they are doing well. [/quote]
