I have kids; neither me nor the other parents I know show off our pictures of them. If we do, it’s usually because we’ve been asked, or it’s people posting stuff to social, which I don’t think is quite the same. If I had to guess, it’s an older generation thing. That said, I DO take pictures of my kids, but that’s almost always exclusively for sharing within the family.
