[quote=Anonymous]Maybe I’m crazy, but I love seeing the happy “My kidis going to X college next year” posts. For me, it doesn’t matter who is posting it - close friend, acquaintance, someone from high school I only see on FB and not IRL etc. Leaving home and going to college is a massive life event - for the kid and for the family. I absolutely consider that news-worthy and worth sharing on SM! To me, that’s a single post, and I’m always happy to see it because in some weird way I feel a moment of connection - just like with the birth announcement back in the day and the milestones since. I feel a little sad for those of you who are so hardened and cynical that these posts seem offensive. Social media can be toxic, but sharing joy in each other’s big life transitions still seems like a good thing to me. [/quote]
