verb: humble-brag

make an ostensibly modest or self-deprecating statement with the actual intention of drawing attention to something of which one is proud.

"she humblebragged about how “awful” she looks without any makeup"

This is what most “modest and rational” parents do[/quote]

No, modest people do not brag. That is what modest people do.

Most people aren’t modest. They pretend to be. Most people are competitive. Even Betas are competitive when it come to their kids. This isn’t new. Parents are always trying to gain  an advantage for their kid. This is why the landscape looks like it does. We, the parents, created this

I think a rational person can look at the landscape, see a pathway, utilize it without feeling compelled to brag about it every step of the way.

The truth is, you’re bragging to the choir. I love sports, I enjoy watching sports and I enjoy watching my kid play sports. Winning offers a sense of accomplishment and is a reward for hard work. So is an A on a report card. Neither would I find necessary to post about. I can be happy, proud, etc without the need to brag about.

Does anyone but those involved in the game care about the score? No, other than overly invested strangers on a website.
