To find this a bit boastful?

I have a friend with an 18 month old daughter with her husband. They often post photos of her/them all as a family on social media, and I rarely seem to see this friend anymore but I know they have bought a new build home and her husband is in quite a senior position at work.
They posted a picture of their daughter yesterday and wrote a caption: "We are so blessed with our jobs to be in a position to provide you with absolutely everything you need and so much more!"
I just think it's a bit showy-off, yes it's not a big deal but it's kind of boasting that they earn well, and that it's only monetary things that matter/mean you can provide.

I'll be honest they have obviously done well and worked hard so yes they should be aloud to show it, to me this post seems more like your jealous of what they have? maybe concern yourself with your life and the successes you have no matter how big/small they are.
Are we so sad as a society that we have to judge others for posting how happy/sad they are? Either like it or not and move on.

Nobody’s saying they not allowed to post it. It’s a free country - they can post whatever they want.

And people are free to have whatever opinion about it, as well.

You can’t stop that, unfortunately.
