What context is there to get? You're really, really proud of your ivy degree and not at all defensive that you're not working? Because motherhood is the most valuable job in the world, and going to an ivy will enable your own children to... accomplish actual things, like you did not?

I tire of the kind of dialogue on DCUM that goes something like this:

"Hey, anyone have opinions about x school? What about y? Anyone?"

"Why yes, I send my child to x school and I like it. Except for this one thing."

"Why yes, I send my child to y school, and it's good, but I have heard x school also has this thing. Is this true?"

(And this is where you come in, bitter ivy mom) "Hi! I don't send my children to either school, because they are brilliant and those schools suck. Maybe you don't know that, but that's because you're stupid. Also, you don't understand. And are jealous of me. We are soooo happyyyyy!!!!$#%)(#@$ :)"

"Hey, well I send my child to x school and I really don't think you're right about--"

(Here you are again, full of help) "Didn't I already explain that you're too dull to grasp the nuance of our specialness? Do I really need to say it again? Your school is awful. Maybe your children are too young for you to realize it, or you are just dumb."
