Way to miss the point as well as be a dick in the wholesomeness community...
"Hey, I'm proud of my kid!"
Yeah, but is your kid as good as my kid?
That's not wholesome, that's asshole.
OR:
"My kid can pass any test"
"But is your kid a well rounded individual?"
Nothing like a fresh perspective to challenge your perception.
How is that better? Either way, its responding to a proud dad by dismissing all their kid’s accomplishments in order to pivot to something you think your kid does better.
It’d be kinder to “yes, and” the bragging: “That’s great your kid aced his math test. Sounds like he’s going places. My kid’s doing great, too. He has loads of friends over every weekend and they always laugh at his jokes.” It doesn’t matter if it’s a different kind of success, you should still acknowledge their kid’s accomplishments before you brag about yours.
Post says "bragging about their kids' accomplishments." That's what parents do. I get that there are parents who use that kind of thing to pre-emptively place their kids above yours, but in my experience, that's not terribly common.
The post honestly reads like it was made up by a kid who's got some anxiety about their own place in the world and wants to feel bettr about it, not something that a parent would actually say.
