Just a little moan about working your ass off and no one giving a toss [grumpy]

I got some exam results through the post yesterday (very very late as we had moved house and I hadnt forwarded a change of address etc, dont know how they eventually ended up at my moms - they looked like they had been half way around the world by then but anyhow...)

And I PASSED!!!! I have more than enough credits to go on to University!!!!

Yep great, except no one gives a toss. Not my friends, not my family.... One person said well done... after I reminded them.

Which makes me feel crap. I worked bloody hard for those results.

I had a six week old baby, a 20 month old and a house to run. I would be a college all day, get home, get changed and go to work, not getting in til 2am. I deserved those results cause I really pushed myself but feel like its worthless cause no one else is bothered. My old college friends got there results ages ago and it was a huge thing for them. They celebrated.... it just makes me sad. Pathetic I know

Just a little moan

LadyTamba, CONGRATULATIONS! WELL DONE GIRL! FANBLOODYTANSTIC

Well done you! And have a great time at University. When I was at polytechnic mumble mumble years ago, there were a couple of 'mature' students on our course (proabbyl only late 20s!) who were single mums with kids and it's only now that I can begin to imagine what hard work it must have been to combine bringing up kids and running a home with studying and perhaps working as well. They were always the most conscientious and us just-out-of-6th-form 18 year olds had no idea what an achievement it was for them to study for their degrees. I wish I had known at the time and taken more time to get to know them. Go and have that bottle of bubbly and pat yourself on the back!!

FrenchGirl · 30/06/2006 11:45

WOW!! Well done Tamba, shame on your family and friends not to make a big fuss about this!
Hope you have a good week-end and treat yourself to something lovely just for you

ScummyMummy · 30/06/2006 11:46

You utter star, you. Wonderful news and justly deserved results. Well done, tamba.

juuule · 30/06/2006 11:51

What's it matter what anyone else thinks or reacts like? You've done it!! You've acheived what you set out to acheive. You've done well and surely you did it for yourself not everyone else. Your own self worth should tell you that you did well. It's not worthless because no one else is bothered.
Well done, you.
If you want to celebrate can't you invite people for a drink or something to mark the occasion?

well done you worked harder - the rewards will be worth it xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hallgerda · 30/06/2006 12:35

Congratulations!

I agree with all juuule has said - you should be very pleased at what you have achieved, and never mind (I originally typed something a bit ruder there but censored myself) all those other people who don't care.

BettySpaghetti · 30/06/2006 12:39

Well done!

Make sure you treat yourself as you more than deserve it!

coppertop · 30/06/2006 12:46

Well done Tamba, please make sure you treat yourself this weekend, you do deserve it!

welshmum · 30/06/2006 12:49

Good for you and make sure you indoctrinate your children. My dd is 4 now and she knows that mummy is very clever, very very clever

Miaou · 30/06/2006 12:55

That's fantastic tamba, well done you! I don't think I could have done that.

Scrap that, I know I couldn't have done that!!
