My son got a first at RG Uni and has won a prize for his dissertation and top marks for his course!! As you can imagine I am absolutely bursting with pride but my cohort have had massive problems with their children generally! I just cannot share this news for a few weeks. It would be lovely to share this positive news 😘

Smashing news! You're raising a good man there, clearly! What does he want to do career-wise?

That's fantastic news, well done to him ... and to you for creating him!

SunniestSunshine · 13/07/2022 21:48

??? why can't you share it?

Both my DCs went to RG unis and did very well.

It was no secret once they were told the class of their degree.

Wow great achievement!💐🌟
I hope he has the most amazing time traveling.

Don’t worry about “bragging” to your friends. If they are true friends they will be happy for your son! Other peoples successes are not your failures.
