I was literally sick writing this Grin

'There'll be reeper cushions'

EstrellaDamn · 23/03/2019 09:49

Some of my friends use their kids names as hashtags. As if anyone is ever searching it! Who is going to search #OurGorgeousOlivia ?? Confused

AdvancedAvoider · 23/03/2019 10:24

@teaisabrew I keep seeing references to 'reaper cushions' on various fb pages. I don't want to look like a idiot asking but what the hell does it mean Confused

teaisabrew · 23/03/2019 10:26

Repercussions !

Stawp · 23/03/2019 10:35

#NewHairDontCare

Well obviously you do care and a lot which is why you posted a picture of it on FB with that lame hashtag. 🙄

Freewheelinlou · 23/03/2019 10:35

Furbabies makes me cringe and ditto with mum of furbabies. Makes me very uncomfortable and I love our dog!
Passive aggressive memes.
Memes about how strong and empowered women are. I know I am one and don't need constant reminders.
Hashtag stuff all of it.
People posting pictures of kids Christmas presents on Christmas eve when said presents have taken up 2 thirds of floor space (what happened to a stocking with a walnut and orange in it lol)?
Snapchat filters on anyone. Seen people use them on babies.
Attention seeking then "P. M. me hun".
Overload of holiday photos.

I have this one FB friend who is such a wonderful mummy, she plans all holiday activities in advance for her brood. Everyday is catered for and she spends time creating these activities and makes little envelopes for the children to pick an activity out for each day. She is supreme yummy mummy and a virtual Mary Poppins. Everything is perfect and they are a "Team Smith" family.
Fabulous birthday parties for all kids, it's like a proverbial Pinterest article. She is a SAHM lucky her. But I have to admit I'm a teeny bit jealous as I'm more slummy mummy but know mine are happy and well grounded but, still feel a little bit crap when I see all this. She has now had her kids drawn as a pencil portrait as her cover photo.

Things I like:
Modern Toss on Facebook
My mates book recommendations (she barely puts a foot wrong).
Crap art in charity shops
Anything that gives me a laugh to start my day off well. X

Freewheelinlou · 23/03/2019 10:37

Oh and if you fancy a little laugh amongst the humdrum of hash tags, I recommend classical art memes and classical art shit. Very funny at times.

thedisorganisedmum · 23/03/2019 10:41

Naice.

A stupid word from people trying to sound clever, and superior. It doesn't work!

Shufflebumnessie · 23/03/2019 10:48

I haven't read all the replies so it may well have been mentioned already but people who refer to their child as sexy. It makes my skin crawl.

AdvancedAvoider · 23/03/2019 11:00

Oh thanks teaisabrew that makes sense. How did I miss that!

Freewheelinlou · 23/03/2019 11:07

thedisorganisedmum thought you meant me there phew lol have to agree and shuefflebumnessie that is so bad! Why would anyone do that! 😳

Freewheelinlou · 23/03/2019 11:08

Oops wrong emoji 😵 lol

Stinkycatbreath · 23/03/2019 11:09

Anything preceded by a chuffing #

DobbyLovesSocks · 23/03/2019 11:10

Love you to the moon and back. Actually gives me the proper rage. Such a twee saying.

OrangeCinnamon · 23/03/2019 11:22

People posting endless photos of their alcoholic drinks a nice photo of a drink on hols fine but every week, two or three times is just pathetic don't really care for that photo of your shit wine when the kids have gone to bed Sandra.

Mum competiveness is a annoying it's all "ooh look at my gorgeous kids outside in the fresh air so glad I don't let the watch telly" type of stuff

thedisorganisedmum · 23/03/2019 11:42

Freewheelinlou
oh no, it's just the word "naice" that makes my skin crawls Grin

Freewheelinlou · 23/03/2019 13:16

thedisorganisedmum, I'll second that! Lol

lisamac28 · 23/03/2019 14:34

How many threads like these do we have to have?!

People who post shit like this^ instead of realising they can just scroll on by if it doesn't interest them.

picklejimmy · 23/03/2019 15:19

MLM people on fb who's posts consist of massively over exagurrated claims of success and over use of emojis.

'drank 12 bottles of rose last night🍷🍷 🙈
But thanks to my magic pills💊 I'm fresh as a daisy today 💐👌🏻🤗. Now off to the office to grow my business and get back to all those messages in my inbox from #bossbabes😘🌺🌸'
followed by a photo of their 'office' (their sofa) and pictures of some vile shake.

Who are you trying to kid?

NewPapaGuinea · 23/03/2019 15:30

“This one” and “The boy”

lisamac28 · 23/03/2019 15:44

"Just having a cheeky wee glass of wine/coffee/chocolate" etc.

As soon as I see the 'cheeky' I get soooo irrationally angry.

rose789 · 23/03/2019 16:11

“Lil man” nope that’s a baby
“Lil lady” nope that’s a baby with a ridulously huge fuck off bow on her head.
“Thank god it’s the weekend” you’ve never worked a day in your life so I’m not sure why this matters.
“These kids are my world” funny that they spend time with anyone that will babysit while you go out and try snag “baby daddy” number 4.
And they were just things that have pissed me off in the last 20 minutes

user1471590586 · 23/03/2019 17:29

Bestie or BFF. You're in your 40s not 10.

Onepuddingisneverenough · 23/03/2019 17:30

I dislike hashtags in general.
I also hate when people write “why” instead of “while” or “whilst”. “A glass of wine why it’s weekend” . It drives me fucking insane
