[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I roll my eyes almost every time someone says they are proud of their kid because it's usually not something worth being proud of. You're proud your kid got married? Really? Pretty much anyone can do that. You're proud that your kid had a baby? Again, even the most basic lifeforms can reproduce. I have used the word to my own kids, never in a social media post, when they have worked really hard at something, regardless of the outcome. I was proud of one of my daughters for doing her best at an athletic competition even though she didn't win - I wasn't proud because of how she placed, I was proud because she did her best. In general though I think the word is way overused.[/quote] +1 I am proud of my children for specific accomplishments and they don’t necessarily have to be ones the world will ooo and aah about. I express my pride in them only to the people who matter—not to acquaintances on the internet. [/quote]
