[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At a minimum, as a kind thing to do, wait until May when the dust has settled.   There are lots of hard-working and great kids out there who are not getting into the college of their choice.

[b]Ideally, wait until move-in day at the dorm[/b].[/quote]

Why? What if your long-lost friend who you worked with 20 years ago before you became a SAHM and your friend moved across the country also has a child who is gong to be a classmate of your kid. Let’s say it’s at a big school like Michigan, where they might never meet or, at least they might never know that their moms were old friends if they did meet. Wouldn’t it be nice to connect them over the summer? Maybe they’ll become friends too![/quote]

[b]You seemed obsessed with this notion your kid will find the kid of a long-lost friend. In this scenario in your head, do they date and then get married and the whole extended family spends holidays at a ranch in Wyoming?[/b] [/quote]

Not the one who posted this but actually, yes I have a friend who found out her friend's kid was going to same school (lived in different states.) The kids did in fact did get married. It happens. And FWIW posting one tasteful photo is fine. Maybe wait until fall, maybe not. No biggie. I personally like seeing where kids go off to![/quote]
