Do you brag about your kids?

I’m sorry curmudgeon. Spelling is not my strength. Yes, I appreciate the attention, but I do not like being used as an instrument for bragging. Again, there is a difference. When my parents are happry for me when I accomplish something, I do enjoy their acknowledgement. It shows that the work I put in was worthwhile. However, I do not like when this attention extends beyond the confines of the family. When my folks start telling other people what my scores are and what a good student I am, I don’t like it because it should be enough for them alone to appreciate my accomplishments.

Come on parents, if you know your children are good, isn’t that enough for you? Are their accomplishments really going to be any more special if the neighbors know about them?

By the way ldmom06, I don’t see how talking about babysitting Steve Austn could be anything other than bragging. I mean who are you really complementing other than yourself, your own babysitting ability, and the fact that you knew a pro wrestler.
