[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Wow I didn't realize how much my comment would get analyzed. I really just did that post on a whim and just listed the first few things that came to my mind, and I do think that the kids helping put up Christmas lights or building their first snowman are accomplishments but maybe that's not worth sharing. I've also done counting videos, and adding and subtraction videos, both fake reading (with my toddler) videos and real reading videos (with my preschooler), particularly of the books that the family gave us, things like telling time, and doing puzzles, drawing shapes and trying to write letters. Its all stuff that makes me proud.

Most of my friends don't have kids so I'm not so eager to go and brag to them about it. I'm also not on social media so FB and IG aren't really options. So if the family wants to see my kids (especially in the pandemic) its through these videos I share. In my mind these are all things that are great moments in a child's (and a parent's) life and I just want to share it.

But we'll see. I'll sleep on it and maybe I'll be a bit more strict on what I share with the family. I do generally ask about their well being (especially since we're in a pandemic) and see if there are things I can do to help them or just call them so we can talk to the grandparents and the cousins can talk to each other.
