[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And while we’re at it, OP, here’s a question for you: why is your life so empty that you fill it with Google-stalking a young man whose education you did not pay for, and whose well-being is not your responsibility? Are you estranged from your own kids or something? Get a hobby.[/quote]

[quote=Anonymous]This. Why are you Google-stalking someone else’s kid?[/quote]

When you overshare on Facebook, you invite curiosity among family and friends. And it's natural to wonder what a college senior is up to, as far as major, graduation, internships, job offers, and where they plan to live.[/quote]

If you don't know the kid's major by the time they're a senior, you're not close.  I've never once, not ever thought "I should Google to find out if [kid whose parent has ever expressed pride about them online] has landed an internship or job offer."  You want to know where they plan to live and you don't even know what their major is?

You sound jealous of your family members and like you're hoping things are not going well for your nephew, to serve as some kind of karmic comeuppance to his mother.  If this is not how you actually feel, you need to think about how you present yourself to the world.  If this is how you actually feel, you're a crap person.  And regardless, you should get off social media because it is not bringing out your best self.[/quote]
