Do you brag about your kids?

Hepstar,

Could your complaint really be about an invasion of your privacy, not bragging per se? It seems that you’re uncomfortable with information about you being widely known to people outside your comfort zone. Of course, I could be reading this wrong. I guess the question is, if you did something public (won a swim meet, for example) would you still mind your mother telling people about it. Just trying to figure out if the discomfort is with “my kid is so great” in general, or the sharing of what should be no one’s business.
