[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m lol’ing after reading OP’s post. Enjoy thinking that you know it all. [/quote]

Hahaha this!!!

First of all, for kids that are paying their own way through school, for instance, starting at a community college and then transferring after two years is a GREAT and very smart plan! Good for them; great foresight and planning, to be commended.

If you plan on attending grad school, the undergrad institution not matreringef IS true. Haha it really is, for the most part. Sorry to disappoint!

Oh god MAJOR MAJOR eye roll if you start telling me your kids' AP (or any other) test scores. Ugh. Immediate red flag that you are not the kind of person I'm interested in hanging out with.

I really don't understand your beef with Emma/her parents, but all I can say is good for her and you obviously feel bitter/jealous for some reason.

Re: I've heard that's a good school....err, huh? I'm guessing they're being polite / making conversation, and you feel so internally inferior that you're reading into tones that aren't there? Doesn't seem like the kind of thing to make anyone laugh out loud, that's for sure.

To answer your question, the things that parents say that would make me...well not laugh out loud, but roll my eyes:
-the need to tell everyone your child's gpa, test scores, etc. You come off as desperate helicopter parent at best
-saying "we" when discussing college admissions ("we're hoping for penn")
-being incapable of discussing anything besides college applications/admissions for the entirety of 1.5 years
-parents who deck themselves out in school gear the moment their kid gets admitted somewhere
