Are you tolerant when someone goes on and on about their kid(s) or do you reach a breaking point?

How tolerant are you of bragging parents?

It doesn't bother me if it's not overdone. Parents are entitled to be proud of their kids & brag a little. A little bragging when good things happen is fine but I don't necessarily want to hear about the latest escapades of the kids every single time I see them either. And don't send me one of those damn newsletters. I don't want to hear every detail of their lives & I don't care what color folders Binky & Buffy chose for their back to school folders. Reasonable moderation.

I let them brag, if it becomes too excessive I either change the subject or tune them out.

It's okay to be proud and to give proud updates on your kids, especially when asked, but overextended gushing has its limits.
