Aibu to care enough to want to say something?
My friend has a 2.5 year old and is due to have second baby in a few months. She is an obsessive instagrammer/facebooker. Which is fine, obviously. Her account, her choice.
But everyone cringes at the content. If I were her I’d want to know.
She is clearly quite inspired by ‘mummy bloggers’ and their so called ‘real parenting’ (she speaks of that a lot).
This weeks highlights:
- documenting her daughters potty training with a lovely pic of a poo in the potty
- a video clip of daughter throwing a tantrum
- detailed description of a “poonami”. She has always talked about poonamis and it has always driven me insane!!!
I am due to have my first baby in 3 months and she delights in telling me how I need to get in the real world because parenting isn’t all “nice outfits and days out”. Quite. I let it wash over me because she doesn’t mean any harm. She finds it hilarious that the only “pregnancy photo” I’ve added is one looking half decent at a party. She reckons I’m setting myself up to a hard job of looking perfect. Again, I think this is the mummy blogger narrative.
But she really needs to stop with the content. Aibu to really seriously consider telling her that people roll their eyes at her posts and it’s all a bit daft rather than being hilarious?
