[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the point is, you can't control other peoples' reactions to your FB post about Larla's acceptance/matriculation to Harvard/Podunk U. So go ahead and post your kid's results. Just know that the reaction to your post will be as mixed as the reactions here: some people, like immediate PP, will be excited to hear Larla's plans, while others among your friends will think you're living vicariously through Larla.

Or, if you're the crass PP, you understand that you have no control, but you simply don't care what they think of you. [/quote]

This is all of Facebook though.  As evidenced by the multitude of Facebook related posters here on DCUM, EVERYTHING that one could post on Facebook will have mixed reactions.  You can't post vacation pics because that's bragging about your lifestyle.  You can't post food related pics because OMG, that's boring.  Don't you have something better to do with your time?  You can't post complimentary stuff about your spouse, because if you had a REAL relationship, you'd be saying it to him in person, and you're obviously just trying to give off an impression of being happy when your relationship is actually in shambles.

So, it's not an issue specific to college acceptance letters.  People will always judge what others post on Facebook, stop acting like college stuff is different.[/quote]

Who said college is different? Just know you'll be judged. That's all.[/quote]
