Handling pride in one's child with sensitivity

<p>Viewer,</p>

<p>Congratulations on your S’ accomplishments and best wishes for you to overcome your current medical condition. :)</p>

<p>This is really dependent on the culturally defined boundaries each of us were raised with/end up developing ourselves as we go through life.</p>

<p>From my perspective, it’s strange to have that expectation as whether the person wants to share some information about an aspect of their/their family’s life is his/her’s to decide…and no one else. IMO, if the person’s not ready to share the information, it’s better to live and let live and wait until he/she’s ready to share it of his/her own accord. </p>

<p>I also want to be the type of person someone could share both good/bad news without reservation. However, I don’t want them to feel it is an obligation or a matter of maintaining polite etiquette on their part.</p>
