[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so strange to me. I want to know where kids of friends go. I don't want to know all acceptances, but I love seeing the children in their sweatshirts and excited looks on their faces.

Maybe it is because I don't have a senior yet (DD is a sophmore), but I would like to think that I can be happy for others without being jealous. I know my daugher isn't a superstar, but I also know that there are enough colleges out there that she will be fine. And I sure hope she is excited even if it is not a top-tier college.

I also love seeing vacation pictures even when I can't afford one and happy couples even while I am divorced. I like sharing and seeing happiness. [/quote]

I think you’ll feel differently when your kid is that age. It’s so fraught for the kids and such a source of stress for them. It’s just polite not to post something you know will make “friends” feel bad. And it’s really the kid’s news, so there’s the extra ick of the parents being over invested in the outcome.[/quote]
