[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Heading off to college is hardly the "mile stone" that getting married or having child is.  You cannot be serious.  [/quote]
What are you, crazy? At age 18, better hope the kid's milestone isn't getting married or having a child. After 18 years in the home, a kid heading off to college is a move into adulthood. It's a big milestone. College usually is a formative experience and a source of alumni pride in the decades that follow.

Celebrate and trumpet the hell out of that.[/quote]

That you really think you can equate these three events in someone's life in terms of significance actually illustrates the problem:  you're over-inflating the importance of college to the point of obsession.  No wonder you can't resist putting in on facebook.

Going to college ain't getting married -- and it sure as hell ain't having a baby![/quote]

People get married 2, 3, or 4 times.    
Same with having kids!       So many kids and marriages and vacations.

Getting into and going to an undergraduate college of your choice happens...<checks notes>...once.
