AIBU to be cringed out by 'making memories'?

[Chickenwings85]

What sayings cringe you out? Mine just recently is 'making memories' I absolute cringe so hard when I see it all over Facebook and Instagram.

I thought # worked with Instagram. So if you post photo on Instagram you can # it so shows in certain pages but you can link it to your FB page too

There's no such thing as "making memories" - you either remember something or you don't. And anyway, memories aren't always happy ones!

It's the same as "family time" - what is this hallowed time? In our house we go to work/school in the week and at weekends catch up with sleep/ironing/washing/shopping etc.

"Cheeky" anything. Vom, vom, vom, vom.

And anything involving #thisone

I'm not on social media but my teenagers are, so I suffer vicariously.

I really regret the hours that I spent working when my daughter was younger and so we talk about family time because we are trying to be better parents. I suspect many of us could do with working less and having more "family time".

Yes, in my head “family time” (I wouldn’t use the term out loud) is when one or both of us not doing paid or domestic work, DC are not being nagged to do homework, and we’re doing something meant to be nice, interacting, or relaxing, giving DC some attention.

Would like to do this much more.

A friend’s husband told her he quite fancied some “Dan time” a couple of weeks after the birth of their first DC!

"My sexy lil man"
"My sexy lil bubba"

Ick.

Well I do find FB useful for exposing the huns. There are some people who I thought were normal until I saw their FB feeds and now I know to keep a certain amount of distance. It works well as a warning system.

Calling people out.

Just fuck off!!

I tell the DC I love them to the moon & back again & have done for years as the book Guess How Much I Love You was a family favourite.
We have a friendship group we camp with & 'making memories' is said very tongue in cheek though....

#mumpreneur
No, sweetie, you have a shitey 'business' selling overpriced health supplements to gullible folk #livingtheirbestlife and #beingthebestversionofme.

On Facebook when couples post #stronger than ever......
Then split up a month later.
It's inevitable 🙄

Ppl comparing their cold/stubbed toe/constipation/belly ache/etc to child birth. Just. Stop. "I'm so sick right now, it's worse than child birth!" Oh please. I dont recall having the time to bleat on fb when I was in active labor.

The goddamn Snapchat filters. Really makes the person posting seem ridiculously insecure. Plus why post a photo of yourself that looks nothing like you, what's the point.

Really anything written by the perfect white middle aged suburban upper-middle class SAHM types who have detailed #naturalbirthplans and who do baby yoga and other shit. I feel like 90% of the annoyance on fb is due to those types

The pyramid scheme self empowerment #girlboss or #momboss gimmicky diet plan sellers.

Gushy Anniversary posts, or the count down until marriage. My ex's new fiancée is always posting "13 days and 20 hours til forever!"

People talking about how #woke they are or #staywoke. Oh just can it. It's so smug

#justssayin or #sorrynotsorry or the humble-brag #firstworldproblems

Or #adulting. we get it, you paid a bill today.

at home in 'mycosybed'

I love all these, completely agree with all of it. Kids will no doubt remember all the shit you want them to forget rather than some choreographed wankery done to make the adults look good.
Can I add the dreadful spelling of “gawjuss” to the list. Makes me shudder!

Literally pretty much my whole news feed is photos of expensive glasses of overpriced gin. Get in the bin you sheepy f*ckwits!

I'm undecided. Did FB/Instagram turn everyone into hashtagging, filter-faced, bragging twats, or did it just take those noble institutions to reveal what humanity was truly like?

#askingforaspecies

I suppose they are making Facebook memories that they can share all over again when FB says “we thought you’d like to look back on this post from x years ago” and get even more likes.

Phrases regularly posted on FB which annoy the crap out of me:

"My whole world" (usually with pic of kids etc etc)
"He is my absolute rock" (what does this even mean? Also OTT)
"Rant over" usually after a completely pointless rant about something trivial that no one cares about
"Living my best life" obviously
"Epic fail!" Rarely actually epic, usually tedious or at best just mildly amusing

But perhaps worst of all...
"You got this mama!" Why do grown women now refer to each other as Mama?! We have names. Mama is what a child calls a parent until they are old enough to be ale to pronounce mummy or mum. Or even if kids do call their mums Mama, why are we not also referring to all men with kids as Papa? Mama also now all over instagram and even CLOTHING! Cannot understand why someone would want to wear a jumper with MAMA plastered across the chest.

Rant over.

Also "wine o'clock" and "gin o'clock", "friyay" and #winning

God I'm such a grumpy cow

Thank god it's Friday! They're unemployed surely everyday is Friday!
Love you the moon and the stars- makes no sense whatsoever
Living my best life/self care

My friend is dying and uses this regularly as that is literally what she is doing for her children.

Although, I've never had a problem with it as it's quite sweet.

Oh andALSO (I'm getting wound up now) #adultheadache

It's called a fucking hangover.

Can I join in? how about #goals #couplegoals #mummydaughtergoals... I have kids and a husband myself but wouldn’t call myself goals it’s so self absorbed. Do people honestly think they’re goals? Also HUBSY worse than hubby

Yes to #goals
Also "mummy daughter date", "#dateday" or "we're having a date afternoon" when referring to activities with their child. Dates are for couples /those who are romantically involved. Children don't go on dates, and not with their parents.
