I...Well, I am certainly guilty of doing this on FB. I don't necessarily think that posting accomplishments is rubbing it in other people's faces. Feeling that way is not only based on what a writer posts, but on the reader and what their perception is. For instance I could assume that this post was about me since we are connected on Facebook and I do post every single little accomplishment there and do so sometimes repeatedly. But I don't think it is about me, because my intention in doing what I do is not about rubbing people's face in it but in sharing (and sometimes yes, oversharing) with my friends and family a little slice of our lives. <br /><br />Graduation time, when people's kids get awards, ribbons and college admissions make me always wistful in knowing that Maya's life probably looks vastly different. Still, that's about me, it's not about the parents who are proud of what their kids have achieved and proud of themselves for producing kids who have achieved things. I hear what you are saying and the mommy wars really suck, but for this, I say let people stand on their soapbox.
