[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the OP. I get sharing it but why say congratulations, we're so proud of you as if you are addressing the person when they will never see it. [/quote] Generous take -- they are sharing their pride with their friends, and also giving their friends a chance to congratulate their kids by letting them know what is going on. Mean take -- they are couching straight up brags as "a message" to someone else, in an effort to disguise that they are just bragging about their kids. FWIW, I find this behavior less annoying than married couples who post gushing "I love you" posts directed at their spouse for birthdays and anniversaries. You live together, you couldn't have just shared that directly? I think I also just find a proud parent less annoying than someone who really, really wants you to know how hot they still find their husband after all these years.[/quote] It's not an either/or situation. We can mock both![/quote]
