[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got straight A's a few times in elementary school. I also won the spelling bee, oratorical contest, essay contest, and French poetry contest. My parents: "That's what you're supposed to do." I will stand in the middle of the street with a bullhorn to say that I am proud of my daughter's accomplishments. [/quote] You don't need to tell anyone but HER that you are proud of her. By all means, tell her how proud her accomplishments make you! That's important I think. But other people just don't care all that much and will think you are bragging and attempting to put them down. So, keep it in the family is my advice. [/quote] NP here, but my mother was the same way. She would talk to her friends about their children’s accomplishments, but never about mine. I grew up thinking that I was not as important as other people and that my life and accomplishments weren’t as “real” as those of my friends. [/quote]
