Can we have a brag thread about our kids??

[Mommabear20]

Can we have a thread where we can shamelessly brag about our kids achievements? I feel so often that we can't discuss our kids achievements in RL because others don't like it 😅 I'll go first:

My DD made me proud today by telling me she'd done a number 2 in her nappy! First time I've not had to chase her round the house to check! She's only just 2 and this feels like a massive step towards toilet training! 🙌

Come brag about your incredible kids!

my teenagers did overnight shifts for 2 nights to look after our very sick dog. So proud of them

How was it clear from the title of the thread that it was about a kid doing a shit? Please enlighten us.

The title didn't say her child had done a shit, it asked for posters to share what they'd like to brag about that they don't feel they can do in RL.

That could be anything from their child did a shit, to their child has just gone into space!

Her child communicating this, was a big thing for the OP.

Don't forget, you can just scroll on by and enjoy your day.

Hope that enlightens you

I don't understand why people can't just read and move on if they don't like something. No need to comment.

My 11 week old learned how to kick her footboard piano thing today. Did I ever think I'd be proud of a baby kicking a piano? No! But I am and it's awesome 😊

This ^^

There are some people with a real sense of humour bypass on here.

The dichotomy between the thread title and the OP has actually made my day.

My daughter when an award for being a "good friend" at school and her report said how caring and friendly she is too all her class friends. That to me beats a big bunch of A*s any day! She is only 5 but I am still amazingly proud.

No she didn’t - she bragged that her child communicated to her that she needed changing, taking a big step towards potty training. What a dick you are - are people not allowed to be happy about their kids development?

I have too many silly little things I’m happy about! I’m proud from yesterday that my son decided to try a new food (quorn cocktail sausages) and he said he ‘kind of’ liked them!

Well done op's DD!! I was very nervous about potty training DD and very relieved when she got it really quickly. It's pretty complicated and for a 2 year old that's a big step.

I always tell my parents and in-laws that there are some thing that you can only share with the grandparents (well some grandparents) as they are the only ones willing to listen and celebrate with you the really small things about your children.

My DD is 5 and I'm so proud of her for being able to say no when she isn't comfortable with something. I'm also super proud and amazed at how beautiful she dances especially considering that I have got two left feet.

I'm proud of ds for being a super fast crawler and for being fearless!!

That's a great moment!! My daughter is around the same age and she did something similar the other day and I was very excited about it. I did tell my parents but they love to hear all the details 😂

This gives me hope. How amazing for your DD and for you. x

Ahh a poop is a big deal at 2...I d be proud too. Well done little one.

My dd 15 was at a party and bday girl broke her collar bone on the slide, dd sorted everyone out and wrapped it up. The dad said the nurses were so impressed that the sling was exactly right and they d leave it on as it was a better job than the slings they had. It was her cool head that I was most impressed by.
My boys are v dyslexic but both came up a level on their tests this year....huge achievement.

I was watching my 3yo DD at the park the other day patiently waiting her turn in the queue for the slide and I was just bursting with pride.

How mean are some of the comments... vipers 🙄

Im here to whoop for the poop!

My 10 year old went all day without sounding like Kevin (Kevin and Perry go large)

Baby growled at an animal that actually growls (not birds like usual).

🙌🏻 💩

My Foster son volunteered as a net bowler for Commonwealth Games and today he got to bowl at the England team and took some wickets.

My toddler also done a shit today but she took the nappy off and did it on the sofa. Such a big step forward to potty training I think

I get it OP - I was so pleased when DD1 finally nailed it and I could stop cleaning shitty knickers. Ignore the joyless on here.

I never brag about my children because I’m a primary teacher so am wary of being ‘one of those parents’ but DD1 (3.5yo) looked at her plate of grapes today and told me without counting that there were seven there, and if she ate three there would be four left over for her baby sister. I was so impressed, considering I do no extra ‘teaching’ at home beyond what she gets at preschool.

I’m sure I’ll enjoy a brag about DD2 at some point, but considering she’s 12mo next week and still wakes up a gazillion times a night I’ll have to reserve judgement 😴

It’s quite funny that all the people acting like communicating bodily functions isn’t a big deal have somehow forgotten that once they had to be taught how to use a spoon…..

We all start the same way, the only reason you can all communicate that you need a shit is because someone taught you how - idiots

My ten month old stands on his own and follows me around the house cruising, he really heavy so this was an enormous ache after all these months of lugging him between rooms 😂.

My 2 year old told me about his day ‘at school‘ (nursery): ‘I played with water - in a garden - then I got hurt - and I cried’

we asked him if he had a cuddle and he said yes, XXX gave cuddle (XXX is his favourite nursery worker)

👏 yay very happy for you OP and all the other posters.

My DS (2.5) stayed in his new big boy bed until the sun came up on his grow clock without calling out for us. 3rd night since we took the side off his cot.

As the parent of 2 autistic children I see the value in communication that others often take for granted. OP is not bragging her kid took a shit, she is bragging her kid has developed new skills in understanding her body and communicated it to her mum.

DD10 got invited to 3 different birthday parties this week. Pain for me but I'm just so pleased for her that she is so well liked and seems to find socialising so effortless.
She's very empathetic and kind, which I think shines through.

As the mum of a dd10 with autism and no friends this crushes me.

DS1 is 4.5 and had his first swimming lesson without a parent in the pool. He was very nervous and told me multiple times that he couldn't do it and wouldn't go in the water alone.

Luckily he has a fantastic teacher who really won him over. Not only did he get in the pool but he swam brilliantly and followed all her instructions perfectly.

He lacks confidence with physical activities and will often curl into a ball and refuse to participate. So watching him happily swim about made me incredibly proud.

DS2 is only 6 months and moved into his big cot this week. He's been sleeping really well and I'm chuffed about that too.

God people are so miserable. All the whiners on this thread have clearly never have a child with delayed talking.

My two year old has recently started patting his bum and saying 'poo', he usually gets a nappy and his changing mat as well as he's only very recently started talking it feels like a big deal to me, and as you say that we're nearly ready to start potty training!

My eight year old has just moved up to stage two in swimming! He started almost 3 years ago so this feels amazing that he's finally there, although he was interrupted by lockdown. (I'm sure that lots of this thread's whiners will be along to say 'he's at stage two at eight, big deal'.)

I agree! Some people just like to have a moan - ignore them!
