If your mom wants to see the party, text it to her. No one else gives a damn.

Why do people feel the need to seek validation from loosely affiliated associates / family you haven’t seen in 3 years / strangers?

You gave your permission by accepting invitation. It's a party and parents want to show their child/children having a good time with their friends.
Absolutely 100% wrong.
Then you should keep your children under wraps until they are 21 because there is nothing you can do if a picture of your child is posted on social.media.
you know how I know this? A professional photographer took photos of my daughter at a b'day party. No name was published. When My DH and I saw the photo we contacted him and asked that he take down her photo. He refused and we contacted a lawyer who told us there was nothing we could do because there was no identity and photographer was not selling photo .
You needed a better lawyer

Most of my parent friends post. They post vacations, first time their kid walks, Disney, beach, hiking. Nothing is exciting. We all share similar posts.
Do you find these posts interesting? Do you think more of the people posting?
I genuinely like seeing some people’s photos. They are my friends and I like them and their families.
There are some people whose posts can be annoying. Some seem like they are bragging. Others are boring.
I have some friends who will repost random celebrities or quotes.
So I recently went back on FB after several years, I posted some Christmas Vacay pictures and was surprised when all my long lost friends who were mothers didn't like any of my posts. Then it dawned on me that they couldn't afford to travel (my friends are all teachers or sahms) so they were jealous or envious of my position in the pictures. Oh well.
Or maybe they don't spend all their time on social media desperate for attention and likes. You sound pathetic.

So in response, I decided to not post bc I would pretty much the things they would hate me for...traveling, eating different foods, being active, etc... I thought to myself, why brag? It's not worth it. I don't really want them to feel jealous of me, I was just fortunate in different ways at different times of my life. For ex like selling my house at the high of the real estate sky rocket and having funds from that. I didn't earn that, it sort of just happened.

DH. You're writing this like "this is absurd what these 'rules' have come to" but I actually agree that you should not be posting any of these things. And I have to tell my *mom* these things. These posts are each bragging, in their own way. For various reasons, many of which you already listed, there are people that will see these posts and it will not make them feel better about themselves. So why post it?
If you have a picture from vacation you want to share, then share it on your group chats with your family, that kind of thing.
Also, they aren't rules. It's just that if you post something that hurts peoples' feelings, there might be social repercussions. People who say "I can't doooo anything!" really mean "I can't do whatever I want without experiencing the consequences of my choices!"
You will not go to jail if you post pictures of a party some people weren't invited to. You might be perceived as rude. You can decide which you care about more: being perceived as rude, or posting the picture. That's just...part of life

Not OP but even if it's just a picture of my kid and their cake with my party decorations people might get offended that I went all out on a theme.
No one has ever been offended by this, unless your theme is Nazi Germany or something
