[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] OP here. I tend to agree with this post. We have been given front row seats to a play by play of DC's life for nearly 18 years. Never asked, but the parents have been so proud. And these are public figure type of parents. By doing as much (as late as yesterday posting many pics!) and then being completely silent on college, I am sure that, although it is none of our business, that many were wondering the same.

I agree that this is good food for thought when it comes to posting about my DC to social media circles. I don't think any of us expected them to stop here, not after barraging us with pics and award updates, yr after yr.

I think there is a difference to posting about xyz band concert and where your kid is going to college.  It’s not like someone is saying hey, you can find my kid attending the Blah Blah school of music on 4th street every Saturday and here is the concert.  Talking about a past event isn’t the same as posting information on where someone can find your child in the future. Also,  not everyone is in the music world so they can be congratulatory without being judgmental or competitive- folks have hundreds of friends on FB feeds and you just never know how folks will react about college info.  Lastly, your 17 or 18 child should be allowed more control over what information  is being posted about them. I’ve cut way back on posting about my children because I am conscious of that and trying to make that transition to seeing them as almost adults.  I wouldn’t want them constantly posting about me and where my job is located and all my business - things I may not want to share at large.[/quote]
