[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Give it a few months. No one will care where kids go. It’s a moment where everyone wants to show off. Your kid will be fine and so will you. [/quote]

This is such a negative response. College is where you will spend the next four years, where you make lifelong friendships, where you may meet your spouse. It is not just to show off.

I often have this feeling that people are not happy for me. I don’t want to say they are jealous but they don’t seem happy for my wins.[/quote]

DP but there’s nothing negative about it at all. Sorry you want people to dwell on where your kid goes to college long after the fact? Seems very self-centered.[/quote]

My oldest kid is only a sophomore. He has a long way to go. He is friends with seniors who did get into the Ivy and other coveted colleges as well as some who were deferred ED round. We are not jealous types. We are genuinely happy for them.

I know many petty women. They constantly criticize and have negativity. I try to avoid them but some of them I am stuck with as they are in my bigger circles. [/quote]
