I don’t care about your pretentious kid

- Start date
For the record, I have never told anyone (until today) that my son is completely uninterested in the prequels or that he doesn't like sweets (except fruit). He's only 4, so the Mandalorian bored him. He went and played with his Marvel figures while we watched.
He loves the Last Jedi. (STATUS!)

Depending on the age of the kids you are referring to, it's very likely that those kids prefer the unedited OT, because Mommy or Daddy said it's superior while the rest is trash and kids soak up those opinions like a sponge. Doesn't mean that kid has an exquisit taste and it's nothing the parents should brag about...
Yeah, that's not my advice, it's medical advice. Had it affect my youngest kids teeth because my lazy ex-wife just jammed it in her mouth as a stay at home mom to shut her up till nearly 4. I ended up just throwing them all out.
I didn't say you had to, but it is recommended, and it can cause problems whether you like it or not. So back at you.
Screw medical advice though, stupid doctor's thinking they know better!!!
Miles has Dispraxia, so I constantly have to deal with parents who's kids are ahead of him in a lot of areas. I do have a bit of pride in that, even though his speech is behind and his physical prowess is behind, he beat them all to being able to write letters.
Basically, parents like to talk about their kids. It often trumps their better social judgement.

People with kids can be very annoying, I just don't have social media so I don't have to be exposed to it and when a coworker tells me about their 4 year old's finger painting like it's the Mona Lisa I just politely smile and nod so that I don't come off as an asshole even though I don't give a single shit about anything the kid does.
Just don't talk about your kids. Nobody cares, unless it can somehow make them feel better about their own kid (as OP demonstrated with the asshole in his example).
We have dressed our sons in ironic geek tees, Ralph Lauren, the kiddiest cartoon duck overalls, and fucking sweat pants with a stained white shirt. Sometime we do it for fun, sometimes we want them to look nice, sometimes we don't give a fuck.
Anyone who has a problem can kiss my ass.

I know the feeling.
My son years ago put on a cape and ran into the front room yelling "I'm Spider-Man!!" I said to myself, how is it possible, growing up in my house could I have made this big of a mistake?
10 years have passed since that faithful day and he is now "matured" into a full fledged anime scholar and has won multiple Smash Tourneys.
Still tho...spiderman?
my mom used to let me run around the house naked cause diapers are too expensive
Nah, competitive parenting is dumb. But so is insecure parenting.
My son is only 1 so he hasn't done anything worth bragging about. But if one day he does, I will be sure to post it on my Facebook because I'm a proud parent.
Other people's insecurities aren't really my cross to bear. The unfollow/unfriend button is a tap away.
Edit: Obviously I wouldn't bring my child's achievements up during a conversation about another parent's struggles. But social media? Yeah, I'll post what's important in my life.

Assuming that I didn't already know, take my daughter to a dentist (she doesn't use it enough to have it be detrimental to her dental health) or work on getting rid of it, is the problem. If I wanted your advice on how to raise my kid, I'd ask for it. Back seating parenting goes hand in hand with "my kid is better than your kid" nonsense.
That user is just trying to give you advice and isn't competing with you. Every single parent makes mistakes. Let go of your ego.
Nah. Back seat parenting and unwanted parental advice is annoying.
And if I'm being honest, I sort of thought he was doing a bit until he replied to me seriously.
He is right on the advice though, or you can wait till they need to get braces.
I was proud when my nephew told me he beat Resident Evil 4 the other day, but he's 14 so it's about damn time.
Maybe I'm missing context on how they spoke to you, OP, but you offered up your opinion on how your kid enjoyed the trilogy on some facebook thread where people were talking about introducing their kids to Star Wars, so I'm not sure what you were expecting? Like going to a thread about kids enjoying transformers and starting a Trukk not Munkey debate.
Yeah not about kids, but until a few years ago my gf never seen any of the movies. I watched the prequels first and then the OT with her. She actually found the prequels more enjoyable and lost interest during Return of the Jedi and until today she doesn't know how it ends. I am still a bit baffled about that.
Or they're venting here because telling said parents they don't give a shit to their faces would be rude and/or get them into trouble.
It doesn't secretly mean they care.
You know how heartbreaking it is to me that my kid didn't like dinosaurs, TMNT, or comics?
I mean, dinosaurs stung a lot, but the rest of them I didn't care about.
But I did make a sad little ":(" maybe once and a while.
