This seems mostly like a not-so-humblebrag about her daughter than anything else. Child of NYTimes editor and journalist in Brooklyn has 1000 followers on insta

  It's more of her having an emotional discovery of how she can still see and view her daughter's life, even if she hasn't figured out how to be an active participant yet. Sure she used her position to write about it and throw it up on NYT but the bigger point is that it could help many parents who have similar issues find some solace, or maybe another avenue to reconnect with their teenager's life. I think this is something that resonates with those who have children that are pulling away.

  I really don't think making a claim of 1000 followers is a humblebrag in any kind of sense. It's only slightly above average (the average being 843), so kind of a weird thing to think of as a brag.

  Totally agree. Strongly felt like a particularly roundabout humblebrag to me and I'm very surprised you have been voted down.
