Welcome!
So you have a great kid and they are jelouse? Their problem, not yours. Stand proud and let this slide off your back. Not sure when society decided 'everyone gets an award' but I'm not of that mind-set.
Glad you joined us....oh....until you post a bunch, you will show as a newbie. Post more and it will change. I think at 100 posts? And again around 500-1000? Not sure when, but it's about how many you post, not how long you've been registered
