To really hate Facebook names with mummy in the middle?

[TiarasTimeOutsAndTantrums]

E.g liz 'proud mummy' smith etc. It just looks pathetic. And don't even get me started on people who give their newborn babies Facebook pages. Or is that just me that gets wound up by this?

OOO! sounds like your post touched a nerve with loveglove. She obviously is "love v.proudmummy glove" on her facebook.

I occasionally blog about being a mum but usually what's really pissing me off about it and how much I hate 'mum culture'

Oh no Toby - new addiction!

Still, at least I have lots of spare time to read through STFU Parents. Luckily I think I've avoided all the pitfalls so far, but am scared now!

Do humorous status updates about food cravings count?

If you say the baby is craving as opposed to you are craving I think it's fine.

Well it was the baby's fault I ate six cornettos...
Little sod.

When I first read your post, OP, I thought smugly that none of my Facebook friends do this. And then, a few minutes ago, I spotted somebody who does. Admittedly not one of my friends, but somebody on one of 'my' groups. I blame you, OP.

In fact - just to check I'm still in the land of the reasonable, opinions on last night's status plz:

"I am not at all convinced these are pregnancy-related cravings. I suspect they are greedy-cow-on-the-prowl-for-an-excuse-to-eat cravings!"

Hrm. I think I'm allowed to stay on MN for now, but will observe strict quality control rules from now on just in case.

DS made me live on family sized galaxy bars and roast chicken. Little shit. And he was only 5lb whereas I gained 3 stone

I have a number of friends who have facebook names like this, Jane "Baby's Mummy" Smith, etc.

However most of them have lost those babies and they are doing it as a way of acknowledging their children and ensuring they are remembered in one of the few ways they feel they can.

It's not for me, I haven't done that for my lost babies or my son, but I can understand why they do it and it doesn't bother me. It's not really any different to any other screen name someone might use on the internet and it means a lot to my friends who do it. I wouldn't delete someone just because of a name and a few updates about a new baby.

I let it slide when it was a new baby. But he is 8 months old or something and I don't care for the every half hour updates of what he has eaten, how much he has eaten and what time he slept!

right - baby is making me need a cheese and tomato toastie now, which means I must risk offending the cat elbow rest and get up.

OOO! sounds like your post touched a nerve with loveglove. She obviously is "love v.proudmummy glove" on her facebook.

ACTUALLY it's "love v.proudmummytobestestbabywabythatjustdidapooisn'thecleverohyesheisschnookumssweetiepie glove"

So THERE. blows raspberry

TobyLewolef I love STFU parents..
Some of the photos etc on it are unbelievable..especially the poo ones. My 1st DD had a knack for completely filling her baby gro..and yet I never felt the urge to take pics. Baffling!

Back on topic...fantastic name loveglove...

YANBU, it goes along with having cutesy stickers proclaiming their fertility and inadequate driving in the back of their car and letting primary school age children do the answer phone message. Women are much worse at this sort of "now I am a parent my identity is completely subsumed by that of my kids" stuff.

OP YASoooooooNBU! This type of stuff drives me mad.

My Cousin had her baby about a month after me, she now comments on everyone's statuses, photos, walls .etc saying "DD said you look silly / she wants cuddles / she misses you / can you come & see her tomorrow" .etc, no she didn't, she's 3 months old I feel like screaming "grow the fuck up!" I'm so tempted to link 'STFU parents' to her wall (and some other friends whose pages I've hidden from my news feed).

Lots of Love, Wii-proudmummy-Dead

I LOVE STFU. I'm sat at my computer crying with laughter. I think my personal favourite must be the 'poostache' picture. Quite amazing.

YANBU. Definitely. It's weird. People need to get out quite a lot more. I think whoever said these people are desperately trying to prove something is spot on. I have an FB friend who recently posted a picture of her and her newborn...she was still naked, in the birthing pool complete with goo. I believe over-sharing is the word.

I was wondering if it was just me as I detest touchy feely flowery bollocks parenting! Glad to see it's not just me who hates this Facebook crap.

My cousin has an entire album on facebook detailing her labour. Including one with her on the loo. Over sharing a tad I think!
I may be bitter as my album with the kids in mainly features gooey, sticky children doing things they shouldn't be doing but I was laughing too much to tell them to stop
crap mummy alert!

I worked with a boss who invited her staff for after-work drinks and got the childbirth videos out. God knows what she'd have done if the internet was as common then.

What I find quite unbearable is the mummies who put pictures up and all their friends put the following type of comment: 'Lol he's jst gawjus' 'ty, shaniece, ent he?' 'aw wot a gawjus boi' etc WHY WHY WHY?

DH's cousin's dog has a FB page, now that is weird.

I am not made about all that kind of stuff OP.

BUT I did like that Google chrome advert recently ("Dear Sophie") with the dad emailing the daughter at all the milestones in her life, is that soppy too?

I am so glad I have now got an outlet for this.

Last week I got followed by a baby on Twitter. Mum is fof. Bio is roughly 'I am the 4th (and cutest) baby in the Xxxxx family and here's where I tweet what I do all day'.
It actually sent me into PAROXYSM OF RAGE which I finally condensed as being down to:

1/ WHAT THE FUCK?!
2/ You are a baby and therefore I know what you do all day and that's FUCK ALL
3/ WHY would anyone want "I just dun a poo LOL" in their timeline?!
4/ WHY would anyone THINK anyone wants "I just dun a poo LOL" in their timeline?!
