[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; announcing where she is going to college and how "proud" you are is not.  [/quote]

That is such a f’ed up worldview.  Why would you even be on Facebook if that’s how you feel about people you nominally consider to be your “friends”?[/quote]
