There are some online communities where not humblebragging would be seen as haughty and aloof, i.e. homeschooling blogs, mommy blogs, parenting blogs, homeschooling mommy parenting blogs.

There are several dangers incumbent in such behavior, but the worst might this one, which you might not have considered: your kids might see what you're up to.
