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

Wonderful!

Why oh why is achievement not seen as something to be proud of in the UK? It’s an attitude I’ll never understand. Congratulations to your amazing son, and to you for being such a lovely, caring and supportive mum 💐

Congratulations!!!! You must be very proud. Fantastic to hear such great news!

Ahhhh this is so lush. Congratulations to your superstar and to you too, you sound like such a wonderful mum. Enjoy your celebrations.

Sneaks on... congrats. Mine did too!! He’s gone to Reading so no chance to congratulate him !

Wow, congratulations DS.

He’s done amazingly and you have every right to be bursting with pride.

His hard work got the grades but your parenting got him to that point so you should be proud of yourself too.

I hope you all enjoy the treats and rewards, you deserve it.

this has made me cry. Bloody well done and you boast away.

That's wonderful.well done to both of you

What a really lovely lovely thread. That's really amazing!!

Brilliant, well done to your son!! And you!!

Incredible!!

AHHHH.
I am close to tears.
Yes,shout it from the roof tops.
Well done young man and good for you.
And your clearly a GREAT mom.

Congratulations to your son. Amazing work and grades.

Oh well done to both of you. I can only imagine how hard you both worked to get him to this stage.

Tbh i didn’t. He’s just very clever. I’m not telling lots of rl people because that’s immodest.

That's fantastic to hear op, a massive well done to your boy and to you for supporting him so much.
And what a pity you can't show off in RL because you deserve to.

Those are incredible results! You should both be very proud, what an amazing achievement!

Bloody well done OP for raising your boy and bloody well done to him!! I hope you will have many more of his achievements to boast about on here!!!

I don't think you are being shameless OP, just justifiably proud of your son.

Wow, amazing OP! My son did shit 🤦‍♀️ 7 U grades and a 1 and 2 in English and Maths. He just wouldn’t work. Not sure what he’s going to end up doing in college...

That's so great! Your son has done so well, I can see why you are so proud. Lovely to hear about his success.

You brag away!!!!! Fantastic results! I bet you're so incredibly proud

Wow that is fantastic. I have a brother with dyspraxia and a niece who is being tested for it so I completely understand the struggles you must have faced. Also a Northerner and I say you go brag I would do nothing but like it on social media. It's fantastic news. Well done to your amazing son.

Brilliant results......you deserve to be very proud of your amazing DS. Thank you for sharing your wonderful news with us

I keep petting him like he's a baby and he's furious.

Congratulations to your boy!

Oh this is just the most wonderful post!!!

Well done to you boy OP!
I'm not surprised you are so proud - what an incredible achievement!!!

Hope you're not nursing a slight hangover from the celebratory wine?!
What other treats have you got in store for him?
