To secretly judge those who share stupid parenting memes?

[Bellerina2]

I go to Facebook today and someone has shared this:

"My promise to my kids~I am not your friend..I am your mother. I will stalk you, flip out on you, lecture you, drive you insane, be your worst nightmare and hunt you down like a bloodhound when needed because I LOVE YOU!! When you understand that, I will know you are a responsible adult. You will NEVER find someone who loves, cares and worries about you more than I do!"

Am I the only one who sees this sort of thing and thinks "well that's one way to ensure your kids move out and never visit you again"?

Then there's the nauseating ones about mother's of boys protecting their princes and no other woman's love ever being able to compare etc etc. I start to wonder if anyone thinks for themselves any more!

And it isn't just parenting memes, it's the "if you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best" ones too - why???

"You won't know true love until you have a child"

Well that's a lovely thing for someone who's child free to see, regardless of whether it's by choice or not, isn't it?

Ohhhh I see, Alis, thanks. (Although I'm not certain that being promiscuous, if that's what was meant, is inherently against the child's interests either.)

I have a baby with a streaming cold and haven't slept properly for a couple of days, then woke up to see the D&G comments, I'm a bit touchy at the moment. Sorry.

Not surprised, Laura! Even without the ill baby and lack of sleep, those comments are vile enough on their own. Fortunately most right thinking people seem to disagree with them.

Ah Felyne I wish it was, but alas was posted in a string of comments under a picture of MIL & SIL (which ironically I took...)

I know your op was about parenting memes and forgive me if this is inappropriate but this is currently on my newsfeed. I should really newsfeed block but I really want to reply with ODFOD. I am sick of getting your profound shit on my newsfeed.

APPRECIATE me whilst I'm here or watch ME as I leave... Nothing HURTS more than being taken for GRANTED!!! But no more, no more.... This is the new ME!

Last time a few days ago it was.

The one that ANGERS you CONTROLS you. Don't give anyone that power!!!! Especially the one who does it intentionally

What about:

"Aaaargh! Insert dramatically attention-seeking yet vague status here!"

"What's up hunny?"

(Dramatic pause)

"I'll inbox you."

Egog that's almost exactly what's happened with the profound comment on my feed.

Maybe we've a mutual friend, GymBum!

Maybe we do

Might just be me, but I find it odd when groups of friends always tag each other in posts about what they've done together. It makes sense every now and again if it's something special, but I have a friend who tags her other friends (about 4 of them) a few times a week, and they tag her back. I just find it odd to know exactly what she's up to and with whom on a day to day basis.

I have a FB friend who drives me to distraction, not with memes but statuses of made up verbatim conversations with her 5 year old to show us how funny and genius-like this child is. All done in an off-hand way as if everyone discusses the merits of chaos theory or Yotam Ottolenghi's latest recipe with their Reception age child. Also frequent pictures of child's supposed 'play list' populated with cool bands which we're supposed to believe she's picked herself with her innate brilliant music taste

You would hate me ... I am the most boring person on the whole of the interweb. My entire facebook thing consists of Game Of Thrones memes and pictures of my cats being stupid. My family don't get a look in ( Unless they have an opinion about moggies / GoT ... )

the utter pinnacle of inspirational memes comes from the father of philosophy himself - Danny Dyer.

This, is from the genius work "If Danny Dyer's tweets were made into motivational posters."

I want to put all the Danny Dyers on my wall

Sunday was awash with this shite. ' being a mummy is the best job in the world' ' to all you fabulous mummys out there, you're fabulous'.

Puke.

The only person I have unfollowed is someone who is the smug married/best mum/super women. Only so many statuses I can read about her perfect children, husband, massive house, how whilst she has a lie in the husband deals with 4 children, makes fresh pastries whilst mowing the lawn and playing monopoly all at the same time (and yes I am a tad jealous!)

I've just unfriended a woman who was constantly posting things Barack Obama said and then explaining to us how he was the head of the illuminati!

I really hate the 'share if you care; I bet I know who will' ones. Often I'm almost about share something if it's a cause I believe in until I get to that bit. I do not like being coerced. Or the 'post one word about how we met; I'll know who my friends are by who sees this and posts'. Urgh.

Yanbu. At all.

95% of people won't share this...

I don't get the "share if you care; I bet I know who will" ones any more -

I always comment "not sharing, I'm a heartless bitch"

I really love the pisstakey ones - LOVE the Beyonce one!

I also don't have her stylists, hair, wardrobe, or general fabulousness, but it's nice to know she and I share the same number of hours a day. This is proof I am on my way to bootylicious. Um, it will be an unending quite a long journey
