Handling pride in one's child with sensitivity

<p>Jonri, I’m cutting you slack. You have a bond from your mutual good news, so long ago. You didn’t know.</p>

<p>I went back and read the first post and am not offended. I think OP just threw in many of the words that applied. We’ve all had those moments when we’re overwhelmed. </p>

<p>I get cobrat’s point. My older first-gen relatives believed you tempted the devil when you bragged. They had some interesting little folkloric routines to counteract. (No, it didn’t stop them, but they kept warning my generation.)</p>
