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?!?

[blueshoes]

How about BD or 'baby dance' for TTC sex. To be fair, that was on a US babycentre website and pre-MN, I did not realise then how coy it was.

[MidnightAura]

I have one friend on facebook who talks entirely in hashtags. #babyleadweaning #whatsbestforus #mummyandsondate #cosleepingworksforus And of course she is a "yummy mummy"

There's always lot of pictures of her breastfeeding and if you comment anything other than what a great mother she is she will fly off the handle. A while ago she knew we were trying to conceive and she started tagging me in a lots of breastfeeding memes. So I told her we aren't anymore just to stop it.

If I get like this when I get pregnant I would be mortified!

Some mums on Facebook refer to their husbands looking after their children as ‘daddy daycare’. All kinds of wrong.

[Anatidae]

Just to stick up slightly for ‘mama’ it’s what mine calls me (as it is the word for Mum in this country.)

I do not call myself a mama-anything :) although I’ve probably been guilty of referring to myself in the third person from time to time...

[Idontevencareanymore]

Full time mum. It's awful and implies a mother who dares to step foot outside the home to work, lesser.
You're a stay at home mum. Or just mum.

[HashtagTired]

Ememem84 that’s too funny and I actually played that whole boobing thing out in my head as I was reading which now makes wish I hadn’t.
And the mummy mates thing - takes me back to primary school when children used to ask ‘will you be my friend?’

Seriously. Mummy mates? Grow up!

[pp2017]

Also, kid(s).
I have children, not kids. Don’t refer to my children as kids.

I think this is a regional phrase rather than a new faddy twee one; where I live most people refer to a group of children as kids?

If I said “what are you and the children doing for Christmas?” my family and friends would probably take the piss...... 😳

and what @Idontevencareanymore said about “Full Time Mummy” - I want to scream “yes, I also do everything you do AND I work 40+ hours in a paid job on top!!” 😡

[JessicaEccles]

Mama bear.

Boobmonster- makes me think of Benny Hill


Calling children 'sexy'. Or a 'little flirt'.

[natwebb79]

Oh I'm more than fine with small children calling their mothers 'mama'. My issue is with grown women calling me 'Mama' and trying to lure me into some weird cult where you're banished if you don't tie your baby to your body with stretchy fabric. 😀

[FakePlasticTeaLeaves]

JessicaEccles Yes, sexy is hideous.
I also dislike when they pose their child with one of the opposite sex, forcing them to kiss, hold hands, cuddle etc, just so they can post a picture with a soppy line about first loves. Grim.

[pp2017]

Calling children 'sexy'.

Ditto and saying a child looks ‘sultry’ 😳😳

[ThatHippyDippyShit]

Referring to a baby as "baba" or "bubba"

Cringe.

[JessicaEccles]

Round here it's 'the babby'. I worked with one woman for 7 years and I still don't know her youngest child's name

[ememem84]

hastagtired the crazy thing is if you replace “boob” to “bottle” in my earlier post it becomes much more sinister.

I’m guilty of referring to baby ds as “little mate” that’s ok isn’t it??

“Bubs” annoys me too.

[HashtagTired]

I’m not keen on ‘mama’ and does make me cringe a bit, but I have been known to call ds ‘little guy’ but only to him. I don’t refer to him as that.

[WickedLazy]

"Full time mummy" or "full time yummy mummy" gives me the rage. What am I then, only a part time mother? I didn't work for 2 years from ds was 3-5, and would never have described being unemployed as such. Women who do always seems to be on full benefits, and a lot have dp's living there but pretending they aren't. And a good few seem to have another baby, just as their older dc is about to reach the age limit for income support.

[Engorged]

Anything with hash tags annoys me, mainly because the updates are constant. The worst is a member of the MLM cult.

Im not a fan of yummy mummy or 'baby led weaning for the win!' But then I hate the word naice which thankfully I see far less of these days.

I tend to put the odd picture or update on fb but I'm aware of two friends using IVF to ttc so it makes me more aware of the serial updates.

I prefer mummy milk to bitty which is what one friend calls it though I'd just use 'milk' myself.

[Engorged]

And it did annoy me to see mumtrepeur as a job title and full time mummy, she claims anything else is part time but said baby is in nursery 5 mornings a week! So what's the difference to working part time and doing that?

[MycatsaPirate]

#familygoals

normally above a photo of the family. Doing something normal.

because no one else has gone on a family bike ride... ever! You nail that family bike ride! Family goals!!


Fucks sake eye roll

[SlickBubbles]

Using twee words when speaking as as adult - eg xxx loves milkies. It's milk as an adult.

Other one is prin (as in princess). Actually refering to any child as a prince or princess annoys me. I think because to me, refering to someone as a princess is calling them a spoilt brat 😂

[mumoseven]

JessicaEccles, do I know you?

[shrunkenhead]

The whole "boobing to sleep", "on the boob" etc etc no one really cares....they just want everyone to know they're breastfeeding and are hoping for a chufty badge.

[pp2017]

I prefer mummy milk to bitty which is what one friend calls it

OMG that’s awful, it’s off a Little Britain sketch that makes my skin crawl!!

😳😳

[Ohyesiam]

People refer to children as sexy, sultry, or a flirt?
What? Normal people, Not paedophiles?

[pp2017]

Yep! I once saw a thread (can’t remember if it was on here?) where a poster was asking if she was BU because her DM or DMIL (can’t remember which) had commented on a photo of her DD on Facebook saying she looked “sultry” - I think DD was about 5?
