This thread is ironically popular at the same time as "The Ultimate Bragging Thread", so I felt inspired to step inside and post an update.
All parents like to "brag" about what their child is doing because it is exciting and amazing to see children doing new things, seemingly out of nowhere. The difference, here, is that we're made to feel like we are bragging and being rude just because our kids do things earlier than most others. Which is why we have bragging threads on these forums lol.
But we all know this already.
Nobody gets offended or irritated if someone with a slower or disabled child gets excited when their child hits a milestone most other children that age have mastered... in fact, I don't think most people get irritated when anyone posts about their child doing things right on schedule.
I agree that Slaton's post definitely said more about her than anything else.
