DS1 took the 11+, but failed to get into the boys grammar school by a couple of points.
The school he has been offered is lovely...he wil be as happy there as anywhere else.
But I'm guttted slightly upset because he didn't get into the grammar, and won't be able to wear the lovely uniform, and put on his CV that he went to this school. (Unless he goes there for 6th form, which he could)
DH has acted like he was totally uninterested in where DS went to senior school, and truged around open evenings becuse he had too. But he looked like he was going to cry today when we got the results. He hasn't cried since DS1 was born.
It was only a couple of points. So near, yet so far. I'm upset for DH and I, but not for DS, as he couldn't care less.
I would like a hug, but deserve a slap.

Come and slap me or hug, me what ever you prefer. I'm gutted for no good reason.
