[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe she's genuinely interested in your DD as well, in which case, say where she's going and say you're happy she's happy. Maybe she just wants to gloat about her child's success, in which case let her. You don't have to gush, but try not to let your pity show. Because someone whose kid is 18 who still needs everyone to think her kid is the best and thinks that's a reasonable expectation? Is pitiful.[/quote] Frankly, I wouldn't pity the parent whose child is making her proud at 18. And I certainly wouldn't pity the parent for being proud. It's the mother who can't feel proud of her child regardless of DC's accomplishments that I feel pity for.[/quote]
