[quote=Anonymous]DH and I are both Ivy grads, undergrad and law school.  Like you, we have many friends with similar educational "pedigrees".  Most of us have kids in high school, college and older.  None of my  friends would ever look down on a kid going to Mass Maritime (in fact I have a friends whose son graduated from there recently and loved it -- so congrats to your son, OP!).  Not everyone who goes to an Ivy is a jerk, and, fortunately, DH and I managed to steer clear of those.  If you and your DH didn't, it's never too late to jettison the snobs and focus on your real friends.  (Besides, I actually think many people who went to Ivies are the least impressed by that kind of crap because we know absolute dolts who were in school with us and because we know luck played a large part in our own success.)

As for your parents, I'm so sorry they're not able to love their grandchild for who he is.  They must be miserable and fearful of what their "friends" will think.  Don't end up like that, OP.       [/quote]
