Is it normal to post your kids accomplishments on WhatsApp group ?

I am in a WhatsApp group with a few of my year 1 DDs friends from school. There’s 5 mums of 5 girls that are friends. We organise events or play dates for the girls and have random chit chat. It’s not super active on the chit chat front.

anyway, recently the mums are increasingly posting pics of their DDs accomplishments - like drawing a cool picture or playing instruments. That kind of thing.

it’s always done in a ‘ wow look what my DD did, she’s so amazing ‘ way.

AIBU that this sort of thing shouldn’t really be shared in this thing and it’s getting a bit annoying ?

the only people who are going to be equally as proud as you of something your kid did, are maybe the grandparents or very close family/ very close friends.

Am I being weird ? I don’t feel like sharing these accomplishments with the group and it’s kind of annoying to receive them..

thoughts?

I’d find that very wierd! Same as parents who post their child’s end of year report on Facebook or write a status along the lines of “great parents evening for Jimmy. So proud of you xxx”

As it’s a small WhatsApp group this is fine- I wouldn’t but you must like each other to be in a small group with each other so I would just like the pics and carry on with my day.

Would be odd in a whole class WhatsApp group.
