to get annoyed by parents bragging about their kids on FB

I know FB is a place where you should be able to say whatever you want to but there are a couple of parents at my DS's school who have to do a long braggy monologue about their kids acheivements and what treat they will be buying them and how proud they are.

This is not for the kids, it's to brag to other parents "Oh I am so clever producing such supremely talented and clever beings".

My DS does ok but at times struggles and it's a constant battle trying to get him through the school year. He never wins any prizes at school, is never top of the class. He feels it at prizegivings and it affects his confidence. I know there are clever kids out there and good for them but it's really tough having it shoved down your throat on FB.

I realise the answer is to block them but I just needed a rant before I do that!!

Damn bloody right I’m amazingly proud of child. He is far brighter than I ever was and generally a better human being than me. I’m so bloody proud of his achievements and how completely unlike me he is.

Preemie parent here, and a super proud parent that my DC has battled and achieved a hell of a lot. However I do not post about her on Facebook, I’m pretty sure my friends do get bored of the bliss posts and fundraising though🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm with you. It is just showing off- pure and simple.
