When I was looking up their names, I randomly came across a family that barely talks about their daughter (and never brags) and she's a top 3 to 5 swimming in the state in her age range.

Wow, awesome story. Tell us more.

You really have too much time on your hands. Really? Who cares...

Go ahead and perpetually brag on social media how wonderful your family is, how amazing your kids are at travel sports literally every weekend for years, what "commitment" it takes (pay money, book hotel, and burn tanks of gas in your Suburban x repeat), and spew delusions about elite universities who are giving them "looks". At some point curious parents are going to google your kid's name to see if they're really that great.

And when the children drop out of sports in college, the parents still post pictures of themselves on FB at school sporting events.

So many of the people on this post are psycho. Who cares if someone brags about their kid swimming at Gettysburg or playing baseball at Delaware State. Good for them!! It takes a lot of discipline to want to play a sport in college. Just congratulate and move on. It’s like you feel the need to have to say “my kid could do that too”. But they aren’t so just give it a rest. Grow up. You don’t need to fawn over them but you don’t need to google their national ranking either. Let it go.

+1000. Bitterness is a terrible look. Even when it is anonymous.

I do think its a big "who cares" BUT...I do know a person that is constantly talking/posting about High Point University, like its Harvard! And I mean every single conversation!! Enough already.

[Anonymous]

Maybe they are talking, not bragging?

You sound like you would only discuss a kid who is "brag-worthy,"

Some parents talk about the kid they have. And they can be proud of a kid that does not impress you.

I agree, you need to let it go and move on.

For example, they travel from here to UMDCP and attend basketball and football games even though their own kid no longer participate in sports

Why is everyone piling on the OP? I have felt the exact same way- it’s a legit gripe against stupid social media bragging. I think all the sanctimonious just be happy for them posts are a bunch of BS.

I don't use social media. You should try that too.

OP sounds genuinely cuckoo, and has devolved into straight up entertainment at this point.
