Grrr... FB vent

Sometimes, I just want to post something like this in my status:

To all parents out there, please take the time to realize how wonderful and miraculous your children are. When you complain about your kids, or taking care of your kids, it is like a knife in the side of those who are unable to have children. You are truly blessed. Please don't forget it.

I am so sick of seeing complaints about people's kids or about having "the suck job" of parenting. It really pi$$es me off.

I agree...sometimes people don't know how truly blessed they are. I've wanted to post this so many times "Trade ya!!! You can have my IF and I'll take your "brats""

Agree!!!

I guess I'm kind of guilty of this. 

I complain to my H or friends about my SD when she's whining or complaining.  I don't even think about IF in those instances, I just want her to stop whatever she's doing to annoy me.  Despite IF I can completely see myself complaining to my H about my future child.  I don't think IF will change the fact that kids misbehave, get on parents' nerves, etc. 

I would never complain about my kids or anything else on FB but that's just me.  I'm a private person.

ETA: I guess the difference is I'm not complaining to anyone who is dealing with IF, so I won't be offending or upsetting anyone but myself with the complaints.

It's posts like these that make me realize that I have some really great FB friends. Yes, I get annoyed at the pics and constant bombardment of "Little Johnny just took his first step!" but I can't think of a single time one of my friends has complained about their child/pregnancy on facebook.

However, if it ever does happen, I will definitely post something snarky, especially after all the IF stuff I've been posting the last couple of months.

Ugh, I'm totally with you! I am so sick of hearing new moms say they are tired, or they had to get up in the middle of the night to tend to their infants, or they are tired of gaining weight from their pregnancy. Um, how about be grateful for the reasons you are tired, lacking sleep, and gaining weight!

Granted, who knows how i'll feel as a new mom, but i'm sure as he** not going to post it for the entire world to see!

I AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!  I have been tempted so many times to say something similar to that (and also to preggo people that complain about being uncomfortable frequently, I understand to complain once in a while, but the daily/weekly biotching is annoying).

I'll do it if you do it too

I think that thought all the time. I am overly sensitive to pregnant women complaining or moms/dads complaining about their kids. It stings so much, I hate how it makes me feel. I feel like one post like that would shut em' up though!

It annoys me to no end as well.
