A little harsh no? Some parents are thrilled when their kids get into college, in fact I'd say most! Many are super thrilled when their child gets into the school they wanted to or that the child wanted to. Others are thrilled when the child is the first in a family to get accepted. Others are thrilled because the kid may have struggled or perhaps didn't want to go. Still others are just happy for their kids and want to treat them.
My parents seriously hooked me up with some gifts when I graduated from highschool and they are not rich (not to mention me having 3 younger brothers). Don't be so bitter regarding other people's good fortunes. My goodness, the cynicism and hostility!
