[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an old post and I’m not sure why it’s being revisited now. But as someone who was under 35 and a mom of 3…has it ever occurred to you that I was just living my own life? Nothing smug about it, aside from the normal self-pride that we all - I hope - have…[/quote]

Sure - you’re fine.

So long as you are not all over social media, rubbing it in everyone’s faces and making a spectacle of your kids.

Social media is toxic.[/quote]

What does this have to do with having 3 kids? Is it somehow more acceptable to make a spectacle of your only child or your 2 kids? And what is the threshold at which you consider it “rubbing it in everyone’s faces?” It seems like this would be more dependent on mom bragging than # of kids. I have quite a few friends who have quit SM altogether and they range from moms of onlies to having 3 or 4.

I guess this whole thread to me is fascinating because I had 3 kids by my mid-30s and it never dawned on me that this would lead to increased smugness over say a mom of 2 who had her first kid at 40. Like aren’t smug people just smug in general? I even know a very smug child free couple who hate kids![/quote]
