[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a swim parent, today I am blown away after SC champs at the level of intense, shameless bragging by some other swim parents about their kid's performance. I'm talking multiple pictures, video, time standards reports, MeetMobile screen shots, and in one case, even a specific mention of who their kid beat!  :shock: Then all the comments and likes that further encourage this behavior - it's mind blowing. I have to admit, I am feeling very differently about a few people who have shocked me with their tacky, tasteless bragging and carrying on. I know, I know - just stay off social media, don't look if you don't like it, etc. But I have seen it now and I just really have to wonder about the psychology of these parents. Is is living vicariously or some deep insecurity? I have to wonder what it does to the kids. These are young children, who knows what the future holds for them athletically or otherwise. It's just so interesting that people feel the need to brag so outwardly. I would be so embarrassed. Anyway, just had to share my shock.[/quote]

Worry about yourself and being such a judgmental jacka$$. There's plenty to work with there. [/quote]

But a nerve, have we? How many posts have you done in 2023?  Give or take…[/quote]

How many? maybe 20, being generous. Most are gardening articles, pics of my pets, and a few of my kid's sport. 
To be clear, I don't care what you think of that. But, you were surely implying I'm constantly posting of my kids successes but I'm not.

So, no. No nerve hit and my characterization of you stands.[/quote]

I am the one who asked how many 2023 posts you’ve done but I’m not OP.

20 posts? We don’t need to see your pet. Really, we don’t.

So 20 posts by mid March, only 2.5 months into 2023. That’s about 96 posts a year or one every 3.96 days. Who needs to see that much of your life? Send the same stuff to your mom or siblings or aunties.[/quote]

Person who you're responding to.  I.Don't.Care.What.You.Think.

You don't want to see it? Get off SM or unfriend/hide/unfollow. It really is that easy. But, I guess then you don't get to be sanctimonious then? Or are you just that fragile?[/quote]
