[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid worked hard to get accepted into college of his choice and you bet I will brag.  If someone feels sensitive, that's their own fuckin' problem.[/quote]

Lots of kids work very, very hard to get into the college of their choice. The parents who don't brag come off as the most impressive. Its not about feeling sensitive, its about how you look. But given this post I imagine you've already created that impression, so go at it.[/quote]

+1. Also, lots of kids work very, very hard yet *don't* get into the colleges of their choices. At the schools that accept 6-10% of applicants it often comes down to luck, frankly.

You're going to brag that your hard-working kid was luckier than all the other hard-working kids?

Signed, the PP with the DC who got into the 1st choice (one of those schools that accepts 6-10%), with an equally hard-working friend who didn't get into the same school, and who thinks a little humility and realism is in order[/quote]
