to want to shout from the rooftops how proud I am of my son?

[wheresthegin]

I want to tell everyone how well he is doing but of course one can't 'brag' can one.

Course you can - fire away

Fires away as Jonah said!

Jo jay sorry chufffing autocorrect !

Go ahead

Go for it :o

Give it a go :)

I'm worried the OP might actually be climbing onto the roof....

All ears here, OP!

Brag away love

thank you, thank you thank you. I need to shout it somewhere.....
Parents night tonight - DS (Y5) 3rd academically in year group, on course for academic scholarship, on course for music scholarship, on course for art scholarship. Can't actually remember what games teacher said, but he got an A1 and is all the A teams.
I am absolutely on top of the world.

Go on.
I need cheering up

Well done to the lad, you are right to be proud.

Yaaaay! Well done him!

It was my DS3's parents evening tonight too

He's doing really well and it does make you feel good doesn't it?

You're right to be proud.

Yay Go Gin's son!!

brilliant news. It is important to feel proud IMO

Well done to your son, I love hearing about children doing well :)

Well done to your son wheresthegin , I know some people frown on celebrating academic achievements but I think that must have taken a lot of hard work!

Well done your son! Well done you too for providing him with the right environment/tools/home life etc.

Wow!

I would be shouting from the roof tops too!

Well done to your DS and to you too

It makes me want to cry with happiness!!!!
It's not easy for us to fund his education, but when we hear this it really does make it worth while. I feel all tingly!!!
I think we all need a group hug to congratulate everyone!!!!

Our of interest, will you tell anyone if he does get scholarships? I'm never entirely sure what is the 'done thing' in that situation - to keep completely quiet or tell one or two close friends.

He sounds awesome. Well done him

And you

That's fantastic! I bet you're glowing with pride; I know I would be!

Well done to your DS and well done to you

Oooh well done to your DS wheresthegin.

Can I have a little brag?

DS(15) has been picked to go to a 3 day residential Science masterclass at Cambridge University as he is a gifted scientist! He is going with a few others from his school for a one day course as well.

I'm over the moon for him, he really wants to be a doctor but didn't think he was clever enough. Hopefully this will give him a little boost!
