[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any kid who "wants to go to Mom's alma mater since she was a little kid" is a victim of bad parenting. That is completely unhealthy idea to plant in  a little kid's head, as reflects Mom's pathetic obsession with her alma mater's status [/quote]

I think people are dumping because it is an Ivy League school.

There are plenty of Michigan Alums (including my neighbor) that deck their kids out in full Michigan gear and of course were insufferable when they won the NCAA football championship.  I don't accuse them of having pathetic obsessions.[/quote]

Exactly. I went to a very good VA university with a strong fan base. Not Ivy of course but extremely competitive for VA in-state. I have worn their gear occasionally and we’ve driven through campus a few times since my kids were born. One of my kids has passionately attached themselves to the idea that they’ll go there someday. Maybe, maybe not but I never pushed for them to go there and my other kids don’t give a sh*t about going there. It’s not always about obsessive parents but people do love to crap on parents here instead of helping them. Bummer.[/quote]
