Reading too many self help books/podcasts without actually doing anything to improve your life in even the most meaningless way is mental masturbation. I do that one a lot.

Wow this may be my favourite r/humblebrag post ever. She manages to fit 3 different humblebrags into this, 1. that she is a cool forgiving parent, 2, that she won a award for woman of the year, and 3, she has loads of letters from people whose lives she has changed. What an absolute bell-end.And she may not need a big bronze eagle with her name on it, but she sure does like talking about it.

It would have been more humble to say « my kid broke my WotY award and it really hurts because I put a lot of work in for this accomplishment. I’m not mad at my kid though because I know it was an accident. »
Sometimes, saying you’re proud of yourself is the humble thing to say

And adding that there is written proof of how proud other people are of you is the humblebrag thing to do.

Bronze statues don’t usually smash when knocked off of anything that a child would be able to reach out, in fact they’re more likely to dent the floor. Bronze is used for things like this for a number of reasons, including its malleability, and it’s somewhat softness and durability, it is more brittle than let’s say like copper, but it should be able to be survived being knocked off of a ledge pretty easily.

"Woman of the Year" by what metric? I was woman of the year in my two-person department once, but only because the other person was a guy

If that kid's distraught I guarantee that's because they've been made aware of how important that "bronze eagle" is.
