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 😘

That’s lovely! Well done him and you for supporting him. Boast away here, it’s all anonymous. I do love a deserved non-stealth brag! Grin

Sing it from the roof tops, no one can begrudge your pride and his amazing achievement.
You are allowed to be a proud parent and your friends should understand.

clarysageandlavender · 13/07/2022 22:22

Aw this is great!

This was also me in 2004, I have objectively massively underachieved ever since... But I am very happy.

I hope your son will be happy too 😊

ChinnyTroubles · 13/07/2022 22:23

Fantastic!

Well done @Imightbe 's son you must have worked incredibly hard in really tough circumstances (my DCs have been in uni during this pandemic and it has been tough!)

Hope he has an amazing and well deserved trip
