[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid hates any fuss, so we won’t be doing a reveal. However, the college application  process is a long and arduous ordeal. Lots of kids don’t get into their top choices. I think having some fun and getting your kid excited about wherever they’re going is totally fine. I’m a little mystified about why so many people on here are so anti-celebration. Life is tough, let’s take the wins and celebrate them![/quote]

I'm not anti-celebration.  I'm against turning everything into Instagram-worthy fodder, because apparently your life only matters if it's documented on social media with sufficient production value.  It's so materialistic and performative.  [b]Have a nice dinner or call Grandma and Grandpa to tell them the exciting news! [/b] Buy a sweatshirt!  But it's like gender reveals, promposals, smash cakes, etc.  Everything is about generating the right photos to get likes.  It's gross.  [/quote]
You can’t possibly have high schoolers![/quote]
