One for STFUParents! from FB

This is Sooo True--->There comes a point in life when fun no longer means clubbing, drinking or being out till 4am, or thinking about yourself! Fun means Disney movies, family dinners, bedtime stories, long cuddles, a messy house, sleeping by 10pm and hearing little voices say "I love you." Becoming a parent doesn't change you, it makes you realize that the little people that YOU created deserve the very best of your time ? Repost if you get it. I hope I see this on the wall of every Mom I know....

  • Your life is empty and meaningless if you don't have a child/ren. Most people will not repost, but if your life has been made not empty and not meaningless because you fornicated with someone of the opposite sex, Repost for 1 hour!!!!! <3<3<3

    If it only lasted 15 minutes, do I only repost for 15 minutes?

  • Puke. I hate people who ,have kid just because they can't find anything useful to do with themselves then act like everyone is missing out on the meaning of life.
  • ugh this makes me mad. Especially since I have a very close friend who is unable to have a child. She loves my daughter as if she was her own. These kinds of status updates lowkey insult everyone who chooses not to have kids, or cant.  Its just annoying.

    plus, I can have fun drinking at 4am while my daughter is sleeping...lol just kidding...but not really.

     and a messy house is never fun. IDK what fucckkin facebook status update says it is.

    If you knew better, you'd do better.
  • How many "eye roll" emoticons can I insert here?  Cripes.  I HATE parents like this.

  • I think its a desperate attempt to find some "meaning" to giving up the things that are still actually fun.  Kind of like you're trying to convince yourself that its good that you have no other interests other than cuddles and Disney movies.

  • idk what you all are screeching about.  My army of homunculi bring me so much fulfillment.  I totally recommend it... just make sure you feed them with your own blood and not somebody else's, or they don't really obey you too well.  I know from experience.

    So THAT's my problem!  Is it too late to start?

    Maybe I'm an old fart, but this happened for me LOOOOONG before a kid was even in the picture.

  • I hate the ones that are like "I'm a STAY-AT-HOME-MOM! I don't get sick days, I'm a maid, chauffeur, chef, doctor, teacher and astronaut blah blah blah"

    It always makes me wonder who they think cleans and cooks dinner, etc. in a family where both parents work. I mean, yeah, if you want to say being a SAHM is a lot of work, I'll agree with that but when you're a working parent, you still have to do all that stuff - after you get home from working 40 hours a week.

  • Oh, you must be FB friends with Mr. Bang's ex-wife. This is the kind of drivel she posts on the regular. 
  • This is Sooo True--->There comes a point in life when fun no longer means clubbing, drinking or being out till 4am, or thinking about yourself! Fun means self righteously posting on Facebook instead of spending time with your kids.  Becoming a parent doesn't change you, it finally gives you something to talk about? Repost if you get it. I hope I see this on the wall of every Mom I know... so I don't feel like I'm the only one who has no identity beyond mother
    Fixed it for you.

    I'm right there with you on this.

  • I dunno. Maybe it's the fact that I spent 4 years of my life trying to keep a charity hospice house running that makes me take exception to the "no higher calling" bull.

    I'm 27 and this is no longer fun for me. Bed by 10pm is awesome.

  • See, for me, partying until 4am is way more fun now BECAUSE I have 2 kids.  But the hangovers are much, much worse.
