Things people do on FB that annoy us
I mentioned starting a post like this in the overshare post. So, what are some of the things parents on FB do that annoy you. So, post all the weird, irritating, and infuriating stuff other parents post.
Mine is I hate seeing people post pictures of babies and small toddlers improperly placed in a car seat. Like I want to smash my computer every time I see an itty bitty 1 year old in a forward facing seat, the chest clip down where the belly button is, toys and blankets like smothering the poor baby or hanging from the handles, ect.

Re: Things people do on FB that annoy us
Ugh, the car seat pictures drive me nuts. I hate when parent's share any information on bowel movements on their Facebook. Literally NO ONE wants to read that. I get on FB when I am eating lunch during the girl's naps. I would love to hear all about your kids sh!t. Today, I was eating pancakes and sausage and read this:
"Oh... The joys of parenting... cleaning up a 3 year old's bum bum at 2 a.m. cause he diarrhea in his pants... The things us parents do for our children!"
I am done with my sausage, thank you random oversharer.
I also don't like it when wife is always like "oh husband is the best!!!!!!!!!"
Then husband is like "no wife you're the best!!!!!"
Ugh gag me already.
Or when patents of teens say they're done helping their kids. Like let's say kid needs some gas money and mom is like " f that kid get a job, I've done my job as a mom. I'm no longer required to parent you." You are a parent for life! I mean don't just give your kid whatever they want, but my gosh.
Tagging onto minervacullen, I'm super annoyed with a couple people in particular that are like, "Only two more (expletive) years until (child) is out of the house!!" Or, "We'll finally be able to do (activity) in two years when we're rid of (child)!!" Maybe it's just because we're new parents, but I can't imagine counting down the years until she's out of the house.
I have another friend (well, friend of a friend) that always alternates between complaining about her husband and her children, and posting about her inability to have more and how insensitive the world is to her battle with infertility. Oh, and an occasional post about not having money for anything. I sort of want to suggest that perhaps they shouldn't have more if they can't feed the two that they already have and that they'll need infertility treatments to get pregnant again. (Have I crossed into UO Thursday?)
Oh, and quoting baby talk quotes. "(child) said that I needed to order something on the 'ruter.' My new shopping buddy!"
There's one person who is always posting about her allergies.
"my body hates me"
"Another miserable night"
"Looks like I need more kleenex"
I get that allergies can be horrible.
But posts like this dominate my feed.
'I loved you for a thousand years and I will love you for a thousand more'
Where do people get this sh!t? I had one friend on FB post a video of her 4 month old happily drinking a bottle full of Mt. Dew, and I definitely told her how CPS worthy that was. I was deleted shortly after. But come on, let's use common sense people!
WTF? For real? I feel like starting a movement of moms that openly judge other moms for shiz like that! Glad you said something! Being PC doesnt save that child's life when he/she gets diabetes!
'I loved you for a thousand years and I will love you for a thousand more'
oooh...so many things...
1) I have coworkers who post DISGUSTING pictures on each others walls all day (ie: 500 lbs men in string bikinis)...it got so bad I had to block all pictures from several people just so I didn't have to look at that stuff all day
2) I have an acquaintance on FB who I'm really only friends with b/c she works for a competing haunted house in Oct and it's a professional courtesy kinda thing...she always rags on ANYONE who posts a picture of a new tattoo, telling them how crooked and uneven it is, and how they got ripped off...um...it's already on their body, if you don't like it that's fine, but you don't have to be a snob about it
3) People who put their personal issues with other people on FB...my sister, whenever she's mad at anyone, will put some status up(for example..I got mad b/c I pay her to watch my kid and she was off hanging out with some friends leaving my mom to watch DD, so when I said something she posted "Too bad I can't have a life...slavedriver")...it will NEVER, EVER fix a conflict, and it just makes you look like a child.

Posting every.single.stupid.craft their kid makes.
Posting about every little mundane thing they did all day... "Well, the kid let me sleep in which was nice, but then I had to go for blood work, and my doctor called me about my ultrasound, then I got to relax and read..." Etc. NO ONE FLUCKING CARES!!
People who complain how bored they are. Play with your kid. Clean your house. Play games online. Go for a walk. Bake. There are literally hundreds of things you could be doing instead of complaining on Facebook.
