How often am I seeing this on Sm these days 🙈

‘And just like that..such and such is 7’ etc etc 🙄

Aibu in doing another massive eye roll at seeing this yet again or am I just a miserable bugger?

"it is what it is".... of course it fucking is otherwise it would be something else!! 🙄

eeek88 · 10/09/2021 17:52

I always read SMASHEDIT as SMASH EDIT, which is generally what they should do to all their social media posts.

Leontine · 10/09/2021 17:54

@Trumanshow I hate the way human seems to have replaced person!

1974devon · 10/09/2021 17:54

@liveforsummer yes those are the posts.. you worded it better than i did. Go smash it! Nearly every post on back to school day had same.

lottiegarbanzo · 10/09/2021 18:04

So much smashing or 'it' yet no-one seems to say 'that's smashing!' any more.

lottiegarbanzo · 10/09/2021 18:04

smashing of 'it' that should read.

"That awkward moment when..."

Siameasy · 10/09/2021 18:06

So much drama involving counting down the seconds/tears/wailing because “my baby” is starting year R.
I must be horrible I couldn’t wait for DD to go

RockyReef · 10/09/2021 18:07

I don't mind friends boasting about their kids on FB, I quite like to cheer the kids on from a distance via their parents social media 🤣 however I cannot understand people writing posts to their husband / wife / partner as surely they live together and can say those things on person should they be that sort of human?

Anyhoo, my pet hate and the one that makes me want to scratch my own face off is #makingmemories

m0therofdragons · 10/09/2021 18:11

I hate the “I don’t want my baby to grow up” comments but I know I’m totally unreasonable so stay quiet. Watching your child grow is a privilege not everyone gets. Of course I’d never say that in rl as it sounds a bit mental.

Mollymoostoo · 10/09/2021 18:18

@Indecisivelurcher

Uh oh, what CAN I post later then when my 4yo goes for his first afternoon at school?!

Was totes going with
And just like that this one starts school #feelingblessed #smashedit

@RockyReef yep that is my most disliked.. they are just living. .everything becomes a memory?!

couchparsnip · 10/09/2021 18:22

I vote miserable bugger. Some people use clichés to express themselves - why is it something to get annoyed about? Scroll on by and let people be proud of their children or remark that time appears to pass quickly. It's innocuous and harmless. What's the problem?

SummerHouse · 10/09/2021 18:28

"I can't believe..." X is whatever age or in whatever year. Mate, do your research, look at the birth certificate. Believe it.

P.S. next year X will be in the year above / a year older. Start coming to terms with that now. You have a year to mentally prepare.

IHaventStoppedCravingYet · 10/09/2021 18:42

Agree totally! It’s right up there with ‘and so it begins’ which massively sets my teeth on edge

TallulahTumeric · 10/09/2021 18:48

As a "MLM Hun' myself, I can confirm that I have never used, nor will I ever use #feelingblessed.

"Yaaaas Queen" makes my teeth itch.

SummerHouse · 10/09/2021 18:50

"The obligatory pictures of..." As if it's with deep regret they are forced to post them. Newsflash: they are not obligatory!

I would like to add in the comments section: "the obligatory comment about how cute they look."

IWannaGoToTheSpa · 10/09/2021 18:52

@MintyGreenDream 🤣🤣 the other day I was at a kids group thing with my 4 year old DD (who’s now started school and was getting too old for the tots group thing admittedly) but she tried to play with another little girl who was only about 2 and she didnt wanna know. I couldn’t care less, she’s just a little kid. The dad, ffs, said to his 2 year old who was getting a bit whiny, “hey, don’t worry Poppy, you do you” in the smarmiest, weazliest, most annoying tone possible. Wanted to punch him! Arghhhhh so pathetic!

lottiegarbanzo · 10/09/2021 18:53

You should do that SummerHouse. (I don't mind that phrase and think your response would be cute!)

IWannaGoToTheSpa · 10/09/2021 18:54

Totally agree with you OP 🤣🤣 All the, this ones, smashing its, just like thats, how did this happens, blah blah blah arghhhh! I do laugh at it. Then feel sad when I see it from friends who i think would know better 🤣🤣

starsparkle08 · 10/09/2021 18:59

I hate it when people refer to someone as a Karen . I think it’s done it’s day and is just so predictable

DancingQueen85 · 10/09/2021 19:00

I have seen this so many times over the last few days. It irritates me also

cptartapp · 10/09/2021 19:03

Anyone loving anyone else 'to the moon and back' drives me bonkers.
Unoriginal.

JudgeJ · 10/09/2021 19:03

@Glitterblue

I'm getting irritated by the number of posts I'm seeing that says "Go smash year 2, beautiful girl" and "first day in reception done. He smashed it".

I don't even know why that irritates me but it does!

I wonder if these tedious parents say to their children at the school door 'Go smash it darling'? The idea that the little dear will take them literally amuses me.

Mothers who say that will make someone a dreadful mother in law in years to come!
