Just wait until their kids are in high school and college and you are hearing all about them running marathons WITH their kids or attending their D1 athletics or whatever.

If this is triggering for you (it is for me) you need to mute or develop a strong level of detachment from social media generally early on.[/quote]

It’s not really triggering for me unless they’re smug about it (which I guess most people bragging on social media are.) the peers who trigger me are the ones who not only had everything handed to them growing up (which I did too) but whose parents now still find a lavish lifestyle as adults- gifted multi million dollar homes, have 3+ kids in private school their parents are paying for, annual international trips funded by parents etc. and have the audacity to brag about it all on social media. It would be annoying to brag if it was self earned, but it’s particularly obnoxious when they are living hand to mouth.

That said, most of my close friends grew up well off, and are hard working adults just trying to balance young kids, career and some time for ourselves, and do not have parents funding the day to day.[/quote]

Eh, and some of us didn't even grow up well off with everything handed to us. [/quote]
