[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]13 pages of parents doing exactly what the OP called out. Too funny.[/quote]

You still don't get it.[/quote]

Yup.  The original post is startling obnoxious.

It may be obnoxious but it is also true. Above average people don't like to admit it when their children are just average. They knots they will twist themselves into just to keep from admitting the truth - precious couldn't get into HYPS in today's more competitive environment - are amusing and transparent. We see through the bullshit you know! YWIA![/quote]

There is something wrong with you.[/quote]

Shrug. I just think it's funny when this happens. Particularly when the parents are so pretentious in all other areas of their lives but then try to put on a happy face that their snowflake ended up at JMU or someplace similar. Makes me laugh.[/quote]

So you are mediocre in every aspect of your life, but your snowflake got into a highly rated school.  Double shrug.[/quote]

If it helps you to think that way, go ahead. No skin off my nose.[/quote]

It seems like this really is a lot of skin off your nose. Otherwise, why do you care where anyone goes to college? Why does it bother you if parents voice pleasure about a college you don't think much of?[/quote]

You're being ridiculous. The OP asked a question and I passed the time on my break by answering. That is all. I'm somewhat amused by the time you are taking in berating me for typing a inappropriate thought. No I would never say this to anyone in person but, "off the record," as it were? Anonymously? Yes of course people notice the discrepancies between what the parents obviously wanted and what they got. They're not fooling anyone.[/quote]
