to stop people 'making memories'

[DiplomaticDecorum]

It's a pissy pants phrase - every time it's mentioned it makes me heave. Just stop, you sound ridiculous, every fucking minute of every fucking day is making fucking memories, it's how we as a species survive.

Bugger off and live in Disneyland with all of the little tweety birdies and pink bollocking princess fluffy crap. Start living life as an educated grown up, stop with the stupid filtered selfies, and stop being so bloody feeble. Hope this has made a new memory for you all. Now fuck off.

Agree with you OP.
Also the things I remember from my childhood are not the things my parents would expect me to remember. Like my GP making poo jokes is my only memory of a big special day out. I don't think that would have been classed as making memories.

You've made a wonderful memory writing that post. It will stay with you and fill you with happiness, always.

Or alternatively you will remember OP being banned from MN after telling various commenters to fuck off?

Sounds like you need to take some time to

I have a friend who's busy 'making memories' every day.

She's so busy doing so her husband has to work 7 days a week...

I roll my eyes when I see her posts.

Who pissed in your cornflakes this morning?

I am so on board with this. Every fucking moment needs to be fucking eternalised on fuckin Facebook for a few fucking likes.

Aahhh, I feel better now.

I agree 100%! Watching fb freiends out-smug each other has lead to me prune my friend list a couple of times. Ironically not focusing on making the memories as much as creating the image of making the memories.

Totally agree op.

But they’re #blessed OP, why can’t you share in their happiness?

Op, you seem like someone who needs nice memories to look back on.

Actually you've reminded me of when DS1 went to see the Red Hot Chilli Peppers when he was 17 or so, and came home to tell me it was the best day of his life. I was inwardly incensed - what about all those best days I had lovingly provided? Did that holiday on the beach count for nothing? No, that was all pissed away for a bit of Californication. So - yeah, you're right. Kids don't "make memories" the way we want them to.

Totally with you OP. Do your nice things and take your photos and make your memories, but stop posting the whole damn thing on Facebook with nauseating twee hashtags. Puke.

I have the warm and fuzzies now.

I'm with you OP.
Ffs it's a cognitive process not a lifestyle choice.

AAAAARGH!!!!

I know somebody who complains about how awful her life is, in the last two weeks they have posted photos of visits to another city for sightseeing, to a large theme park, a trip abroad for a weekend, out for lunch at a snazzy restaurant, a trip to the zoo and so on.

Yeah, it looks really awful. All these are shared as 'making memories'
Still, it hopefully cheers her up whilst making those of us with nothing regret all the things we can't provide for our children.

Pm me hun.

I think you’d really remember that happening. 🤣

Problem is, a lot of people seem to think that if they don’t put it on Facebook then it didn’t happen.

Goodness OP you sound a bit tetchy.

Rather than being rude to a bunch of strangers on MN perhaps either leave FB or improve your friends.

No one on my FB feed posts anything about “making memories” and there are very few filtered selfies.

Take a deep breath, perhaps have a nice cup of tea.

Don't forget the twee signage:

"Excuse the mess, the children are making memories..!"

Clean your house. Slattern. Unless salmonella poisoning and cholera count as memories.

all pissed away for a bit of Californication

Properly laughed at that.

Um, are you OK?

DiplomaticDecorum love your OP.

#blessed that's another cracker
