[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really relate to that dad’s pride and excitement, but IMO Facebook isn’t the place to share all of that. My own DC is 7 for 7 with acceptances right now, with merit aid at all but one, and is still waiting on a few more decisions. One of her acceptances is somewhere that every other classmate she’s heard of was deferred. Am I proud and relieved? Absolutely. Have I put this up on FB? Absolutely not. We are sharing admissions updates with the grandparents and my siblings (who don’t have kids) because it feels great to share with someone, and they’re as delighted as we are. But it would come off as obnoxious on FB, especially for friends whose kids have applied to many of the same schools with varying success. In May I’ll share a little update on where she’s headed in the fall. Anyone who wants to know more can ask me face to face. [/quote]

So, let me get this straight....

...you won't post that stuff on FB, where you are followed by family and friends who want to see it and would likely be happy for you, because you don't want to come off as "obnoxious"...

...but you will post it here, anonymously, among people who have no knowledge of you and can only make snap judgments?

Makes PEFECT sense.[/quote]
