[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would you think when a family has two smart but unhooked kids that got into HYPS (not the same year). Neither are sporty either and they aren’t legacy or donors. Just regular educated professional people I am both jealous and admiring at the same time. Ugh. [/quote] Why are you jealous?[/quote] ok I will play along... Because I want MY two super nice smart kid to get into HYPSM, duh.[/quote] Well, that's pretty sad. And it shouldn't make you jealous. Jealousy is an ugly thing, especially over something that silly.[/quote] Okay lady. Be self righteous on an anonymous board, cool. And calling other people ‘silly’ for their honest feeling is sad too[/quote] Well, I'm a man for one thing. Regardless, I just think it's sad. I'm not jealous of anybody else's kids. I'm happy with my own. [/quote] HAHA says dude on the DCurbanMOM site and looking through college discussion board; because you’re the type who says ‘I’m happy wherever my kid fits in” to everyone but secretly hopes for an Ivy. Be honest with yourself.[/quote] Look, MOM, your premise isn't true. I'm not "secretly hoping for an Ivy" for my kids. But here's the thing: even if it [i]were[/i] true, decent and normal people can both "hope" for something for your own kids without being "jealous" of somebody else's kid for attaining it. We're not all as petty as you. [/quote] You seem having no sense of the context when one says in the open that she is jealous of someone's achievement. She is more admiring than really jealous. Are you really that clueless? [/quote]
