Here's a question about parents in Plainview, well actually in any suburb, or perhaps anywhere. Is anyone else bothered by parents who go on and on about how wonderful their children are, how smart, how talented............???
I have two great kids, far from perfect, just like me, just like everyone. At home, we celebrate all their accomplishments and are deeply proud of them. When something really special is achieved, I'll share it with my close friends. I also make sure to revel in their children's accomplishments also. Casually talking about my kids' strong points is something I shy away from in public especially when other children are around.
Why do so many parents voluntarily brag at the bus stop, at PTA functions, waiting to pick kids up from school, etc? Has anyone else noticed this?
