[quote=Anonymous]I’ve known some of these kids since they were five. Sure, I like to see where they end up, and I love to hear when they are doing well and finding their friends and majors and places in the world. Do I care in a “look down on the kid and gossip” / whisper at a cocktail party sort of way? No, besides telling DH if he knows the kid and maybe one of my kids if it’s a childhood friend they’ve lost touch with. I know peers of my kids at FCPS Davis Career Canter and kids at NOVA and kids at all the VA colleges and kids at Ivy’s and I’m happy for all of them. It’s nice to see where kids you’ve known forever end up. And even the once who struggle usually end up in great, interesting places. So, to that extent I care. Am I invested to the point I’m comparing them to my kids? Nope. My kids are where they should be, and that’s what I really care about. [/quote]
