　　Carolyn Hax: When a mom wallpapers the Internet with perfect-child pictures

　　Dear Carolyn: My husband and I have a 4-year-old grandson who is wonderful in all the ways a 4-year-old boy can be! His mother, our daughter-in-law, is a professional photographer who posts photos of her boy on social media at least once every day, stating how exceptionally wonderful, smart, beautiful, special, compassionate, you-name-it he is.

　　To me it is over the top. We all know how precious children are to their parents, but it's almost as if there has never been another beloved child in the history of time! Yet no one in her sphere posts anything other than yes he's wonderful, special, compassionate, blah blah blah, which seems only to encourage this (isn't anyone tempted to say, “Put a lid on it”?).

　　Besides being of a different generation, am I missing anything here?

　　— Wondering Grandma

　　Wondering Grandma: What you're missing is the commentary of those who share your nausea and choose not to type what they really think. No doubt the temptation is strong.

　　Presumably you don't unfriend her because of the photos (at least you have those) or the politics. And it's her right to make unhealthy use of social media, bizarre as that sounds.

　　These limit your choices to block it or bear it. The latter might be easier if you treat her excesses as the work not of a person, but of a persona. Social media shows taste and judgment, whether they are good or not.

　　At least on the Internet, no one knows you're rolling your eyes.
