About the "amazing" dad post on FB?

[HonestLie]

I probably am but I don't really get it.

Noticed a lot of posts recently of compilation pictures

YANBU. Goes hand in hand with the kind of bollocks comments I got when on my works Christmas party at the weekend - "who's looking after DD tonight" and the WORST question ever - "is DH babysitting?". Gives me the rage as he's never been asked anything like that.

And because I'm an obnoxious so and so I answered respectively "that would be her parent" and "no he's not babysitting he's looking after his daughter"

Yanbu - one of my "friends" posted a pic of her dh and dd on a ride at a Christmas fair and called it "daddy and dd bonding time!". For goodness sake she's three, if they haven't bonded now then four minutes going round and round on a plastic chicken ain't gonna do it!!!! It's just normal parenting activities dressed up as something supposedly super special and it's nauseating!!!!!

And the if you love your sons/daughters .. Blah blah. Isn't it pretty obvious that the vast vast majority of people actually love their kids???? Why do you need to confirm this for everyone?

Ah yes the "babysitting"! That always makes me cringe and what to say, you mean looking after your own/their own child.

It is probably a sign of insecurity.

A bit like tom cruise leaping about on Oprah saying how much he loved Katie Hopkins. We all know how that turned out

I don't get any of this shite! I get pugs doing handstands and kittens with mirrors

One of the other mums from school sent me a friend request and her Facebook is filled with pictures of her child asleep. It gives me the creeps, it's like that horror story of the "I'm alone in the house, picture of me sleeping on my phone" person.

Tom Cruise loves Katie Hopkins?

Katie Hopkins?

Ah Tom Cruise & Katie Hopkins - maybe we can ship her off to Scientology

I deleted my FB account three years ago tomorrow.

Best. Decision. Ever.

FB turns everyone into attention-seeking, cringey, boastful sheep.

The first time I was asked 'is DH babysitting tonight' I wasn't used to hearing 'babysitting' in that context. I did a genuinely confused 'no, he's at home with our kids'. Have never managed to fake the confusion as convincingly!

YANBU. Some people only seem to want to show a glossy, perfect version of their real lives. It's sad really. I have a Facebook account to keep in touch with my nan who lives in Spain. She is on her own and loves to see pictures of dd. I never post boastful pictures (like piles of presents) but will upload pictures of dd regularly. No comment, just the picture; tagging my nan, mum and mil. After Christmas I will probably upload a 'Christmas 2014' album. What really irritates me though, is people who complain about what others post and then post pictures of their dogs/dinner/designer shoes. There are people who I used to be very good rl friends with, who regularly make snarky comments about people who post pictures of their kids, which make me feel self conscious. However, they post far more pictures than I do of themselves posing and pouting. I feel like saying 'I get that you don't want to look at pictures of my kid, the pictures aren't for you, but do you really think I want to see pictures of your shoes?' I'm not brave enough though. I wouldn't want to offend and, to be honest I respect their right to post what they want. I just wish people wouldn't be so judgy.

Katie Hopkins
I knew that didn't seem right!!!!!

Katie Holmes should have googled before posting

LowLie, I'm always tempted to comment "No chance, I can't stand the bitch!" on those "share if you love your child" posts.

FB has not turned me in to a boastful sheep!

But apparently it's not cool to never put up a status and just read and comment on other people's posts (if I feel I have something positive to add).

Can someone link to an example?

I always wonder how these mums seems to have so much time for facebook! I know some lasses that post about 5 times a day!

I agree with the 'omg, your so involved', 'hands on' type comments, and observations, often older women too.

Is it that men were that bad in the past?

at Sternin

I can't bear them, I hide them all.
I particularly hate the 'you'll never know love until you have kids' ones... Nice to know my cold, dark heart of stone will unfreeze one day!

Can't really link and example because I'd be linking you to people's facebooks.

Yup - this crap is in Facebook representing and patronising all stereotypes and groups. It's one of the reasons I hate it so much.
