To boast about getting a First?

[TheGlaikitRambler]

Found out today that I got a First in my degree. I went back to uni as a mature student with 3 kids and it has been hard work, but I did it.
My DM has asked me not to boast on FB or post about it because it will upset my sisters, who didn't go to uni (didn't mention my brother who also didn't go!). I want to share my hard-won success on there though. I have spoken to my sisters, they all seem happy for me and have no idea what our DM is on about. They were all clever enough to go to uni but for various reasons chose not to.
Would it be unreasonable of me to ignore her request?

Ignore her. You're supposed to not be proud of what you've achieved because it might upset your siblings?

I'm assuming they're all grown ups and as such they should be mighty proud of you.

Congratulations btw 👏🏻

Not unreasonable at all. A first is bloody hard work, and should be celebrated, and congratulated. Well done. Not a bit jealous cos I'm thick as a brick 😊

Meh. I don't really see why you need to share it on FB but that's just me. I got a First but didn't even got to the ceremony (in all fairness I was working abroad).

Congratulations Boast away. You did the hard work in studying and now you have been rewarded. Bask in your success.

Hmm, I always think it's a bit cringy when people post this kind of thing on FB. I would stick to a proud to have finished kind of post and not mention the first.

I also have a first. I didn't post it on FB.

Ignore her. Post away.

congratulations OP. Well done.

Ignore her, - how mean of her not to rejoice in your achievement. Boast away!

Boast away! Congratulations - you've done brilliantly.

Boast away! That's fantastic! Your sibling should be proud and happy for you, as should your dm!

Congratulations, boast all you want, you have earned the right to imo!

Congratulations!!! Is it possible DM herself is a tiny bit jealous?

I'm currently busting my balls on exam revision and believe me, if I gained a First the whole world would hear it! (fat chance though ).

Congrats! And yes boast, you earned it.

My daughter also just got a first, so I shall join you in the boasting, but albeit mine is for my daughter.

I don't get your mums view on this.

Congratulations!!!

Ignore your Mum and post what you want.

Sounds to me like you are past the age of needing your Mums permission!!!
Boast away

She’s being mean.

I'm going to boast my arse off if DS gets a First!

Boast your arse off. Congratulations!!!

YANBU. Boast away and well done!

Well done OP - be proud and certainly 'boast'!!!

Exclude your mum (and sisters?) if it will make life easier.

From the Facebook post I mean!

Totally boast about it. You worked hard for it. Well done.

I generally think it's lame when people boast on Facebook but this is an occasion where I actually think you should go for it. You worked hard and did well and deserve a little boasting. Maybe just make it so your mum can't see.
