[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My thought is probably that you and your daughter are humble and graceful, so people just didn't know. In a world where parents of smart kids tend to humble brag endlessly and annoyingly, I'd say you are refreshing![/quote]

OP’s post was one long humble brag lol[/quote]

This. [/quote]

+1 absolutely ridiculous post, OP.[/quote]

Sorry you feel that way and that my admission and clarification wasn't enough for you. I actually received a lot of helpful, supportive messages so I'm very glad I posted.

God bless every poster who understands that people may be in circumstances that make them feel unsure of themselves and try to help. I'll try to pay it forward and doing the same for others, and not make them feel ridiculous.[/quote]

PP here.  Your positive, stay in your lane attitude is what will help your family achieve, OP.  And to other PP who says many parents do everything "right" and still have issues - I know, first hand.  Therein lies the issue - parents make assumptions based on an extremely small amount of information - in either direction.  I believe that is OP's point, exactly.  OP, the amount of negativity on this thread is telling.  Keep doing what you do!

Example: At one point (some time ago), I created a college thread about what schools to look at with certain stats, and was inundated with negativity.  Others who created the same kind of thread, mixed positive and negative, since.  So, as anything else, it really depends on what day you post, OP.  Not that it matters, really, as you know.  All you have to do is read the college posts to see how people really see themselves. I think it is generally more difficult for those who have not had to fight for what little they have, or are spoiled, or have been taken care of, IME OP.[/quote]
