Can I show off and be shameless here? I can't in real life

[proudmudda]

I have had a very tough time recently, dh has had a nervous breakdown, my dad who has always been abusive hit a new low and we're NC. My mum emigrated and it's just been so hard.
But ds got 11 level 9s and and A** in further maths yesterday and I am so so proud. He is severely dyspraxic and had oral dyspeptia which went undiagnosed until he was 4 which severely affected his speech. I was told he had SEN and he was put in a special group, I knew he was frustrated and moved his school then home schooled. He went to the local comp for secondary, it was on special
Measures, he was bullied but here we are.
I am so proud of my boy. I could burst.
As a working class northerner I will be ostracised for rl showing off, so can I be shameless here?
Sorry to anyone I annoy, I just need an outlet! Mn has helped me so much over the years with ds, dh and just life. Thank you all so much

Well done your DS - be proud of him!

Brag away! That is something you should both be hugely proud of!!

Aah, boast away, that's brilliant!

Congrats to your DS, and a for you.

Wow! Well done to your son, he's done brilliantly

Lovely news for you OP, congrats to your DS!

I am
So proud I could pop.
I keep petting him like he's a baby and he's furious. I am just so so so so so proud.
My god.

You deserve to be proud, a moment to treasure

Brilliant boy. Glad for both of you!

That is utterly amazing. There are times when showing off (politely, as you have) is waarnted.
Is your mum also making a fuss? Does he have aunts and uncles to be justifiably proud too?

That’s wonderful! Well done to him, and his proud mum

Congratulations - a clever boy and a lovely mum!

Thank you
My excellence in mothering obviously responsible in the main part, rather than his dedication and hard work 😂🤣😂🤣😂

Fantastic - it’s great when something brilliant happens. Wallow in it for a while!

That’s really lovely news - and you deserve to show off! Well done to your son (and to you)

Ps if he's been bullied at school I hope sixth form (assume he's on to a levels next?) will be the making of him.

You should be so proud. Revel in it both of you

Boast away! Well done both of you

Oh wow I would burst with pride too. My boys passed all theirs yesterday but a mixture of 7s down to 3s after paying ££££ for their expensive education... bloody well done your boy!!!! Xxx

That's amazing OP. Well done to him and to you.

Go for it! You absolutely should be SO proud. I totally think you should irl too!! Xx

DM nearly collapsed then said 'are they easy now' then went berserk. Her her genes obviously 😂😂😂

The most I can say outside the immediate family is 'he did very well'
😂😂🤣
Northerners!! We're such dicks.

That's fantastic! I would absolutely be bragging in RL, on FB, Twitter, Instagram and Whatsapp lol.
Sounds like it's been a hard road, but he's made it. You should be very proud of him of course, but also of yourself. Well done!

Actually this has made me a bit weepy. I hope I'm saying the same in four years when ds is doing his exams. Hopefully by then there will be gcses on fortnite and rubiks cubes. Who needs crappy subjects like maths and history anyway?!

I’m a Northerner and will let you be as shameless as you want. Well done your boy on fabulous results and well done to his fabulous mother. I hope this is the start of better things to come for you.
