donut photo

[Anonymous]

I was reading a text from my DD from a friend of hers and my DD had texted her a photo of a donut we had from one of those fun bakeries. In the course of the convo the friend said that she has a lot of stuff too but doesn't "brag" about it. She didn't use the word brag but I would like to know if this is my DD showing off?

(1) Why are you reading your DD's texts? How old is she and does she know you read it?

(2) Have you tried asking her to explain it?

(3) Her friend might have been joking. Like "oh look at you and your fancy donuts, I have fancy donuts too but I don't brag about them hahahaha I had a cronut last month you don't even know." You are taking it literally when teens (I'm guessing your kid is a tween or teen) use a lot of sarcasm and caustic tone that is not meant to be taken literally.

How can a person brag about a donut? Shoes maybe, but where's the cachet in a donut?

This made me laugh. Maybe hers has extra sprinkles while her friend’s is plain.

My 12 year old shows me her conversations with her friends online, and it’s all inside jokes and multiple degrees of humor.

Don’t worry, OP.

^ and they fake anger and resentment all the time. Pretend to be offended to poke fun at today’s hypersensitive world. They’re very funny.

Its likely your DD is often saying "oh we got this, or we did this". Its not just about this donut.

Lol my tween's frenemy is constantly telling her she's bragging. Carpool conversations where I'm just the invisible driver go like this:

1: omg I'm so hungry, that lunch was horrible.
2: oh yeah? I didn't try it. I brought lunch today.
1: why are you always bragging about your homemade lunches? Who has time for that anyway?

Or
1: I like your shirt.
2: thanks! I found it at Goodwill. I like yours, too.
1: yeah I know you're a super shopper who goes thrifting, whatever, you don't need to brag.

If you aren’t reading your preteens texts, you aren’t doing your job as a parent and you are part of the problem. A LOT of bullying goes on over texts. And a lot of other inappropriate stuff. If you aren’t teaching your kids how to text properly, they aren’t learning it.

Why don’t you talk about with your daughter since it’s her conversation? They were probably joking.
