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?!?

I prefer it to people calling their children arseholes or little shits. I think that's horrible.

[xqwertyx]

I havent been on facebook for years because everything on there annoys me.

I think i need therapy

[undertheradarplease]

This is absolutely hilarious. I literally can't cope with any lingo that remotely relates to 'yummy mummy' culture. Even #babyballet is enough to put me in a bad mood 😑

[ConfessorKahlan]

How about 'making memories' hashtagged on to photos of people just doing things with their children? It's pretentious and really irritating. Surely, you just do things with your children to have fun and spend time together, not for 'making fucking memories'?

[HashtagTired]

Or calling their children ‘the smalls’ irritates me.

bubba or bubs ( seems it can be husband or baby) the mere fact it can mean either annoys me and just sounds so sickly, the use of Hun after every comment marks you as either condescending or a chav

Oh and PFB annoys the. Fuck out of me. We can only have one and the term indicates some sort of smugness that you're obviously a better mother second time round!

sort of smugness that you're obviously a better mother second time round!

It's actually smugness that you're a worse mother. And you care a lot less too.
Hence "precious".

I cannot understand why anyone would think their first is any more “precious” that the subsequent offspring?! They’re all precious!!

To me there are two types of people who use this phrase:

1. those who openly admit to favouring their first born (aka total wankers)
   
2. those who will vehemently state that they absolutely categorically do not favour their first born and its tongue in cheek, but their behaviour suggests otherwise (aka total wankers)

I've only seen PFB used sarcastically on Mumsnet. As in "Am I being PFB to warm DD's baby wipes before changing her nappy?" It's used for things you think you have to do when you have your first baby but that you are much more relaxed about with your second.

"Date night" when used in reference to a couple going out for a meal or drinks when they have been a couple for years (especially if they have any of the trappings of kids, house, mortgage, marriage etcetera)

Dates are what you go on when you first see someone new, if you share a bed, house, or children with them then you just go out for the night?

[withoutthelittledots]

I have a friend who posts a lot on FB - she refers to herself as 'Mama' and says 'the kiddywinks' or 'my little man' or 'having some girly time' or #mybabygrowingup - her dc's are now 19 and 17.

Bleurgh...

The one that annoys me most is that picture/meme etc that does the rounds about how the human body can only handle up to X (made up units) of pain, but during birth a woman experiences Y (made up units) which is more than what they've just said is the human bodies limit. And that it is equivalent of 20 bones being broken at once. How utterly stupid, if there is a limit the body can handle, anything over that would kill you, so it's clearly not true. But still it gets repeatedly shared by my female contacts who are mothers, like they feel the need to prove themselves as more tough than none mothers/med etc, despite pain being subjective, all births being different and medical conditions commonly described as being more painful than birth.

Also really pisses me off when people roll out the "You'll never know/feel/understand real love until you become a parent/hold your baby for the first time." Its condescending to people who cannot have or do not want children. I honestly believe people are able to feel as much love for a prtner as for a child, depending on your situation, choices etc.

almostajill- Gallbladder attack pain makes he pain of labour seem like a pin prick - it's the sort of pain that could actually send you insane - so yes that meme is a load of shit!
