To hate some of the terms that mums use on social media...

[HashtagTired]

I’m probably setting myself up for a fall here, but it really irritates me when people use terms like ‘mummy milk’ or ‘boobie milk’ or ‘yummy mummy’s’ or ‘mummy friends’ or ‘mummy ....[enter word]’

Just say it for what it is!
I see it less on MN but it’s all over FB and I find it just so irritating.
Is it just me? Aibu?!?

[DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen]

They can say what they like on their own Facebook accounts. Just 'hide' them.

[FannyTheFlamingo]

There was a whole debate on here not long ago about the use of boob as a verb i.e I needed to boob her to sleep. I hate that! But yes, boobie milk is on a par. I have quite a low tolerance on FB and 'hide' a lot of people.

[toolonglurking]

I know someone who uses 'motherhoodunplgged' all the time - she is the most self centered, spoilt brat I've ever known, there is nothing 'unplugged' about her - for some reason it really winds me up!

[Mountie5]

I hate mum boss and boss babe - it's so demeaning. If you own a business and you are a mother it doesn't need announcing. Dads don't have boss dude.

[FakePlasticTeaLeaves]

I hate mum boss too, it's terrible. Or mumtrepreneur. Especially as they are usually not entrepreneurs; they just try and force you to buy some skin cream/fruit pills.

[Sooooooooooooooooooooo]

I hate boob as a verb.

I boobed her to sleep. I'm boobing the baby. No, you're feeding. Like everyone else.

[Witsender]

Motherhoodunplugged is ridiculous..he whole unplugged thing comes from the desire to detach from social media etc...which a # kind of negates! 😂 I've seen childhoodunplugged which makes more sense as it applies to the kids not the parent posting.

[jay55]

Mum boss makes sense, if you are a nanny.

[Mountie5]

To be honest I hate the term 'feeds.'

I know it is silly but it makes me feel sick if someone says they are preparing a 'feed' or ask if dh does his share of the 'night feeds'.

[BitchQueen90]

I hate them all, including the term "full time mummy." Or "looking for 10 mummy friends who want to lose a few pounds" blah blah when they're promoting their shite juice detoxes or whatever.

[Moanyoldcow]

Every so often someone crops up with a profile that says some shit about making milk being a superpower - makes me feel irrationally annoyed.

[tiirred]

YANBU

It all sounds so twee and silly.

I know someone who is forever rambling on with herself on Facebook and always has to refer back to being a mum no matter what the subject.

She is a mum boss with mummy friends who boobs her baby to sleep with golden droplets of boobie milk. Fuck off!

[TheHungryDonkey]

YANBU. I see it on Facebook community pages. However, none of my friends write or talk like this on Facebook. So it must be a certain type of person who does it.

[Lweji]

This is why I'm on MN...?

[FakePlasticTeaLeaves]

I read a post where a woman had tagged her cousin and written:

'Can't wait to be bikinied yummy mummys by the pool together'.
This made me feel physically sick.

[Goosegrass]

Just don’t be friends with twats. Nobody I know does that.

[BusterTheBulldog]

Mumpreneur is the absolute worst! I got into a twitter spat with a group of them alwhen I asked for a definition of its meaning and the need for the word.

I'm sure there is a whiff of mlm about it too as it's a bit secretive until you 'pm' / go to a networking event with them.

[natwebb79]

I had to leave a group for advice on slings once due to the constant reference to 'babywearing', competitive photos of babies tied to them with bits of fabric in different positions and constantly being referred to as 'Mama'. I realise it was my problem though. They can crack on. 😀

[SomewhatIdiosyncratic]

"Mummy friends" is just something I see as a distinction of a social group. I don't see it as much more twee than "school friends" "uni friends" "train spotting friends" etc.

Although I haven't had the most active social life with the friends that I made through reproducing around the same time for the purposes of boasting on social media. It was mainly hanging around parks and soft play

[SomewhatIdiosyncratic]

Mama irritates me. Not in itself but because of the bias of smug, sanctimonious people that favour it.

[NoCryLilSoftSoft]

Oh i hate boobing/boob to sleep. Ugh. You dont bottle your child to sleep if you are formula feeding do you?

[BastardGoDarkly]

Yup, none of my friends would utter this shite. Get new friends

[RiseToday]

Someone referred to me as a 'yummy mummy' on FB once ...... the sentiment was very nice but god, it made my toes curl to breaking point.

I also cringe when people say 'Lil'

[museumum]

I tie myself in knots trying to to say 'mum friends' because i know how much people hate it but sometimes it's relevant so i end up saying 'some friends who i met on maternity leave with kids the same age' which to be honest is a real mouthful.

[haba]

Somewhat- I was mama because my v late to speak pfb couldn't manage anything else! (But I'm guessing that's not smug)

Anyway, Op, what goosegrass said. No-one I know does this, and would be deleted pdq if they did.
