[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so strange to me. I want to know where kids of friends go. I don't want to know all acceptances, but I love seeing the children in their sweatshirts and excited looks on their faces.

Maybe it is because I don't have a senior yet (DD is a sophmore), but [b]I would like to think that I can be happy for others without being jealous.[/b] I know my daugher isn't a superstar, but I also know that there are enough colleges out there that she will be fine. And I sure hope she is excited even if it is not a top-tier college.

I also love seeing vacation pictures even when I can't afford one and happy couples even while I am divorced. I like sharing and seeing happiness. [/quote]

You don't get it.  Posting stuff like this doesn't make others "jealous."  [b]It nauseates them.  They laugh at you.  They feel sorry for you.  They don't get "jealous." [/quote][/b]

Surely this is a troll?  Why would your friends of FB feel sorry for you that your kid is going to college?  It is a big moment for the entire family.  Similar to posting about HS graduation?  Isn't this the point of social media, if you care to partake?[/quote]

I assure you, I am not a troll.  I'm speaking for what I really think is the Silent Majority.  Posting a graduation pic of Larla is great; [b]announcing where she is going to college and how "proud" you are is not[/b].  [/quote]
The internal issues you must be dealing with are something. Don't want to seethe about where your friend's kid is going? Scroll right on by.

The way some of you are triggered by people posting their kids' college destinations is like:
