[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my kid makes a college decision, I will post something on FB once my kid says it’s okay.  It’s their work and their news (and I have a pretty curated FB list of only relatives and people I actually care about).  I’ll be very excited for my kid.  She’s worked hard and I can’t wait to see all the adventures and experiences and opportunities she will have in college.

I’d love to see on FB that a kid I care about— one of my kids friends or a neighborhood kid I watched grow up— got into Stanford. Good for them. I know some amazing kids and I love seeing where they end up every year.

But I’d hate OP, because her attitude is so bad.  There’s a big difference between “suck it snowflakes, I won” (not my kid— me. I won at parenting) and parents who are genuinely proud of their kids hard word and excited for their kid’s next steps.

My kid is at TJ, BTW.  And I may have run a lot of carpools, but I didn’t do the work, and college admissions isn’t a validation of my parenting.  A kind kid with a moral compass and a good work ethic who is engaged in their community tells you a lot more about the quality of parenting than Stanford v NOVA. [/quote]

I wish you were in my circle of friends. You're awesome. [/quote]
