I have a problem, which may not be a problem at all but I need some advice.
My son was offered full bursary at a famous school to start next year. We are all really happy and he is incredibly lucky but I have not told my best friend that we were looking into it, applying or that he won the award. She is anti private schools, which is fine but because of this I didn't know how to bring it up. I've got to tell her soon but I don't know how to and I'm worried she will be upset that I have kept this from her. I thought if I told her she would potentially not want to be friends with me but by not telling her I've probably made it worse. I just don't know how to bring it up without sounding like I am boasting and I also asked the primary school to keep it quiet as I didn't want him getting negative or positive attention. Part of me was concerned that if I told her then she may mention it to someone else in passing.
So how do I tell her without upsetting her. I adore her and I feel really crap for letting it get this far. :(

I've been unreasonable but how do I fix it?
