[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my kids were little, I had a lot of oversharing friends. They'd post about their kids visiting Princeton, for example, and I'd think, "Wow, that kid is smart enough to go to Princeton?"

Well, as we all know now, hardly anyone gets in, but anyone can visit! So that's silly to get worked up about.

In general, I think a single post about a kid's decision is great. I love to see them. I don't need to know all the ins and outs. (Or the justifications. Sometimes I see, "Larlo had MANY outstanding offers, but he made the smart choice to go to UMD and save some money.") OK, good for Larlo.

+1, there is of course a difference between simply sharing where your child is going (it's very normal to share the fact that your child is going to college and moving out of your house, and it would frankly be weird to go out of your way not to mention the school), and being a d**k about it. Just be like "So proud! Can't wait to be a Tigers family!" [/quote]
