[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The moms I know are smug and deriding and make me feel like dirt because my DC is going to a school with a 60+ % acceptance rate. Does anyone have experience with how to handle this? [/quote]

Are you sure that these moms are "making you feel like dirt" or is this your own insecurity creeping in? I don't mean to be smug and deriding with this comment, but I think it's very natural to compare ourselves and our kids with others. I'm really trying to focus on my DC and his/her life journey and not obsess about the rat race. I acknowledge that this is easy to say and harder to put into practice. One last thing I'll add is that the majority of people posting on DCUM really ARE smug and deriding and will actually post comments that belittle anyone with a DC who is going to a school with a 60+ % acceptance rate.[/quote]

+1.  I think this is about OP’s insecurity.  
If you are proud of your kid, then what some ignorant rando says will be more likely to roll off your back. [/quote]
