I have been out of college for over 20 years, and I still have not heard anyone in my family say 'good job' even though I was the first in three generations to have done so. Don't wait too long for those congratulations, and whatever you do- don't expect them. Your accomplishments are just that- yours. I have found more fulfillment in accomplishing my own goals than the weight of someone telling me 'good job' on part of something they did not set out to do. I will offer my congratulations though, because I feel your pain🙂
I can't believe I got so serious this early on Christmas Day...
