This may be of no interest to anyone else but i could literally explode right now.

Got my eldests school report today with her final predictions for her GCSE's. To say i'm not happy is an understatement. 2 B's and the rest A's and A*. I'm bloody ecstatic. Fit to burst <3

    I got that, that's why I edited.

    What I posted was totally insensitive towards your pride in your kiddo.

    I could go back and edit it to original if you'd prefer...

    Because no-one is proud of their kids? They are all too interested in 'the person above is hot/****/weird/blahblah'

    Just stop already.

    My son makes me proud because he has faced so much adversity and he never stops bettering himself. He amazes me every day.

    I live in an Arab country and my kids go to Arabic medium schools. Their first language is English, although they've acquired Arabic due to being in Arabic speaking nursery schools. All their subjects are taught in Arabic, except for English.

    The older one got "mumtaz" (excellent) in all her subjects and was one of a group of kids who got a special prize for getting "mumtaz" in all their subjects. (the younger one is still in nursery)

    That's great, because being able to keep going through adversity is an excellent life skill.

    Well done to everyone's children :)

    OK I'm sharing my proud mami moment.

    My 8yo donated 8" of her hair to The Little Princess Trust & raised £90 in the process

    That's a great achievement, especially with all the current political meddling. Time to celebrate!

    I'm proud of my boys because at the ages of 6 and 3, they ride their bikes without stabilisers and with good control. We went on a 6 mile family ride on a local bike path last weekend, with no problems at all :)

    Thanks for joining in folks! Kids are something special aren't they? My youngest said to me recently that when she grows up she wants to be a lovely mammy like me. Then she asked if she could marry me! Of course i said she could!

    My daughter is in 2nd grade and is at a 3rd grade math level, 4th grade language arts and 6th grade reading level. She catches on to new concepts super quick and is very smart!

    However, she also has a fun sense of humor and is witty and fun - this has earned her the spot of class clown and she drives teacher crazy. She is always down with her work before every other kid in the class, then doesn't seem to have the ability to just sit still and be quiet.

    No. Just don't feel the need to brag about my child on the internets to strangers.
