When is it acceptable to brag on social media about your kid’s athletic achievements?

nobody really cares about your HS kids achievements either

I agree but at least then I can see it. At least for grandparents and what not

I don’t have kids in high school and never plan to post about anything they do athletically unless you earn a scholarship somewhere or make the Olympics. That’s the level I feel like would warrant it to me personally.

Obviously 8 year old baseball tournaments are trashy, but what about 14 year old elite 11 rankings? Or state tournament pics? I say once they start playing high school athletics it is okay. Before then nobody cares.

post what you want, who cares what others think?

usually when people are annoyed with others posting stuff like that....its out of insecurity or jealousy. they play it off as other stuff but it boils down to that

you see it on this board all the damn time and have for years upon years

anyone successful is made fun of on here.

It's your kid and your social media account. Brag however you want. Obviously keep it classy and don't be obnoxious, but there is nothing wrong with celebrating good things your kids do.

That being said, I have a "friend" that has a X account where they update their kids weekly performance in 12u travel ball. Don't be that guy.

Unless your kid is in the Olympics or a D1 college nobody outside your family cares.

I can see it cause I was there. Grandparents get pissed because I don't post them on social media. I just email them pictures, etc..

grandparents and aunts will care about any post about your kids

if you are happy about something and want to share it, share it, who fricking cares if some bitter dude gets annoyed?

Don’t forget to also post when they win the spelling bee, are president of the book club, or get a perfect score on the ACT.

I don't know. Facebook is weird to me. The dedication to husbands and wives on anniversaries or birthdays is just people crying for attention and cringe as frick.

"To my wonderful wife on our anniversary..'

Shut up and just tell her in person. Why the need to broadcast it all over Facebook other than narcissism.

The same with bragging about your kid. Just tell the kid how proud you are. Very few people on Facebook GAF your kid made all-district and those people that do care are probably the grandparents who are a phone call away.

Probably when they win a prestigeous, national award, or when they are drafted in 1st round...
