I have a couple of friends on FB that are a married couple. I like them both but their statuses are constantly bragging; about what they've bought, where they're going on holiday, what they're doing etc. For example the woman's statuses read things like "Shopping for new clothes for holiday" "Ooops, got back from clothes shopping and have spent over £400" "Just browsing through my large stack of holiday brochures and trying to decide on where to go for our 3 holidays this year" etc etc etc. Another FB friend posts constant brags about her 20 month old son "X is drinking from a drinking glass rather than a beaker now. Nasty old beaker!" and that kind of thing, usually 2 or 3 different statuses per day of a similar vein that I notice on my newsfeed page, there could well be more.
Then there is another parenting forum I go on on which some people keep diaries of their pregnancies. I love reading these and most are fantastic but you just come across the odd one that in every entry it's about what they've bought for the baby or what they're buying, never anything else.
I know some people do just boast constantly but am I alone in finding it a teensy bit boring and annoying?
