Ridiculous FB annoyance
Are your newsfeeds being predominated by the C&Ped "JUST A MOM" status update? I find this annoying on so many levels. To begin with I don't know anyone who would say another person is "just a mom". And then you add to it the holier than thou lines like "I work DAY & NIGHT. I am on call 24/7 for the rest of my life. That's just BEING A MOM!!! I may not be anything to you, but I am everything to someone!!" I mean for crying out loud no one forced you to have a kid and more than 80% of adult women have kids so you're not some special misunderstood creature. I know it is something silly to find annoying but I do.

Re: Ridiculous FB annoyance
I haven't checked yet today. I have seen variations of it before.
I don't get it at all. It just screams "I had children just so I could play some kind of martyr". I love my son, I do a lot for him, but I certainly don't feel shackled in the way that many of these posts make me feel.
He changes his lifestyle to fit my needs, not the other way around.
By that, I mean, like the ladies who said they would only meet the president if it didn't interfere with naptime. Like, Jesus H. people. I do what I want to do or need to do on the weekends. My kid will either nap where we are, not nap, whatever. But I am not going to say I have to be at the house to have him nap and give up my life.
this is a thought that has crossed my mind before as well. i mean, i would never ever in a million years post something like what mod is talking about (how embarrassing and simultaneously self congratulatory/self flagellating) but i acknowledge that i post pictures/things about my kid probably more than other things.
Yes! I saw a post from kuus about how she pities parents and I wonder if it's because these are the types of parents she knows.

No I think its just because she's kuus.
I hate those FB things. I HATE them.
Mod- those are all the people that apparently thought it was necessary to give up their highlights for their baby. They are a different animal that defies logic.
ETA: And ditto, Noisy.
"That chick wins at Penises, for sure." -- Fenton
I've had people tell me this to my face. I can't stand the self righteousness in either direction on this topic.
I once complained on FB about writing my dissertation and a college friend said something like "You think that's hard? Just wait until you have kids." I told her where to shove it and it turned in to a long fight with various mommies chiming in on her side.
I am now qualified to say: being a SAHM is not nearly has hard as getting a Ph.D. And even if it weren't, where do you get off saying that to someone out of the blue? Suck it, biitch.

You're not alone! There are tags for these c&ps and mommyjackers, like the kind PDX encountered.

Crap...I Mean Crafts
My friends only care about Prince Fielder going to the Tigers, I think.
However, I'd really like to post and say something like: "I'm not a mom. I work 12 hours a day, spend money on useless crap, and sleep all weekend. But I do it because I'm NOT A MOM!"
