I'm just gonna say it

I think that it is a little unfair to call them out on posting pictures and statusi on facebook, unless they are truly going overboard.

I mean, DS is a huge part of my life. Either I am taking care of him, or I am paying someone to take care of him every second of every day. I can't just drop everything and go out any more. Sometimes I feel like I can talk about two things a.) the fun that I used to have or b.) DS.

I do have friends that belong on STFU, and I will NEVER post pictures of my kid's bodily secretions. But I can't just ignore the fact that my life is now run by a 2 foot tyrant.

Well, let's review if this is overboard or not.

First of all, the friend that inspired this post hasn't had a profile pic of herself since she had her first ultrasound.

On the 14th, she posted repeatedly about her sick kid, and then pulled the mommy  martyr line when she began to feel sick herself: "once you become a mom you don't get sick days."

Then for the next 24 hours, here are her statuses:

"Ugh.  We're both sick."

(Video of baby) "Trouble"

(Photo of baby) "Hai!  I'm done my nap now."

"Question for other moms.  K can now pull up to sitting, sometimes standing in her crib when it's time for bed or nap and just cries and cries and cries.  I know she's tired, she doesn't want to sleep with me, she doesn't want to be held.  She just cries because she's so sleepy but knows she can pull up now and sit/stand crying."

(Video of baby) "Making a mess and dropping food for (dog's name)."

(Photo in PNP) "Hai, let me out, K?"

"I win this round, K!  You need a second nap no matter how much you fight it!  I love you, sleep tight!"

(Photo in high chair) "Green bean and rice destruction."

(Video of baby) "Jamming to Xmas music"

"(H's name) is watching K so I can *gasp* watch TV!  Amazing!"

"K and I are still sick but I think *crossing fingers* we are both on the mend.  And her second top tooth is almost through which marks 4 teeth and hopefully an end to psycho screaming fits."

This was in 24 hours.  I deem this overboard.  And obviously this isn't the only 24-hour period in which this has happened.

That is definitely overboard.

That is a bit ridiculous! I have some people on my FB that do this and I've "hidden" them from the feed. Some I've actually defriended, but we were never really good friends anyways. A lot of my friends/family w/ kids don't do this though and post regularly (not excessively) and I don't have a problem with it.

I would deem that overboard as well. And WTF is up with the TV one?

LOL, I don't think I post about Baby Geek that many times in a month, much less a day!  Geez!  That IS overboard!

I do, however try to upload photos/a video once a week or so because my sister and BIL live four hours away and they love seeing what he's up to.  I post funny convos with BG, too, once in a while.  Oh, and I still manage to post about other things I'm interested in, too.

Sounds like your friend is just a major attention whore, TBH.  The problem is, she doesn't have any interesting subject matters to post so the kid gets the brunt of it.

It doesn't get any better once the kids get older either.  DH is 15 years older then I am.  Some of his friends have kids that are in college already.  When we get together with said friends, all they talk about is their kids, what they are doing in school, how many activities they are in, how many jobs they work.  It's like for chrissakes already, give it up, I.Don't.Give.A.Shiz

ugh ame!.  I'm a FTM with a newborn but unless you are related to me and SO or work with us, your would never know it.  We don't have FB and aren't on any other of the narcissism-inducing social networking sites just for this reason.  Besides our little nuclear family and maybe the grandparents, no one cares what is going on in our little worlds.  Notice I don't even have a pic of our little guy in our siggy, it's still my beast -Rocky.  Does this make me a bad mom?

My husband and I get this crap all of the time. One of my (ex) friends said something about how it makes her sad when young couples wait to have children. She said this to me via twitter. Eff that junk.
