[quote=Anonymous]So..I’m the mom who posts on my social media maybe 2-3 times year (maybe a summer vacation pic, and a pic at the holidays or something)- I don’t use it to share the day-to-day. Many others do (including various kid and family achievements) and that ls fine. I don’t really see any particular themes...if it isn’t team sports, it’s dance pics, martial arts (hey Larlo earned his brown belt!), various music and academic achievements (I’ve even seen a few post good report cards LOL). Sometimes I can’t help rolling my eyes, yes...other times it is interesting I suppose.

Do all of these people seriously think their kid is a superstar? I highly doubt that...maybe some? I think many of them are just sharing what they did this weekend, what Larlo and Larla are up to. At least I hope so.

I don’t know any parents who think their kid is a genius or on track to go pro at any particular sport. LOL. Maybe I hang out with a strange crowd?

Personally, I hope my oldest is able to play his main/favorite  sport in high school (he’s 14) but that’s pretty much it. I don’t think playing in college is a realistic goal for him. I still enjoy his achievements. The other 2 are younger and involved in lots of things- again, I enjoy their achievements but they are just kid achievements and don’t mean anything in the long run.

For every parent that seems nuts, there is at least one more who has a more realistic perspective on this stuff. I think a lot of parents (and people, in general) over share on social media these days, and this is just an extension of that.
