to think some of my friends comments on facebook about their kids make me want to vom!!

[justgaveup]

This is a bit lighthearted really not bothering me that much but omg some of the status's my friends write on facebook....

'x is so proud her beautiful baby has done a burp'

'y is bursting with proud about the fact that she has the most gorgeous little boy in the world who is so clever and wonderful cos he's drawn a face'

I always want to write...do you think that you're the only people who've ever had kids? All parents are proud of their kids, we don't need to know everytime your child blinks how proud you are!

geez....

I get irritated when people post about their babies and call them 'my little man' or 'sexy bubba'

I shudder it when people say 'lil man' or 'little prince' but I keep them on my friends list for a giggle.

Same with bubs, babba, preggo etc. BARFARAMA

dueling- that's just people being nice and possible (you may have to sit down for this) affectionate!!

but it's urrgghhhhhhh. It makes me barf. 'I luvs my lil man I does' Blerrgh

'Kat2907's DS has just learnt to do kisses'
That's a real one, thought I'd put it here to save causing all my FB friends to vom

Facebook is dreadful, it is a way for people who are deeply inadequate to show consistently how inadequate they are and how they really really need to get a life.

Great for burglars or marketing people. Or for legal proceedings and divorces as well.

It reminds me of the Douglas Adams thing that humans have to talk all the time in case their brains start working.

On the other hand, it is good to look at occasionally to remind yourself that you are best!

God, some of you are so intolerant! Deleting people off facebook because they don't use correct spelling and grammar? Virtually nobody does these days! I try my best and I don't use txt spk but you could pick holes in what I'm writing right now (if you were a grammar nazi!)

To put it another way, it's a bit like deleting somebody because they have bad taste in music - you have to rise above it, either you like the person or not.

The trick with facebook is to only add actual friends and people who you are genuinely interested in following. That way even if they post that they wuv Darren n gona b 2geva 4eva you can overlook the writing and take it in the sweet spirit it was said.

[hamfistedly spreads the lurve]

You mean you don't delete people with bad taste in music either?

I also hide people who seem to spend their entire lives playing Farmville or Bejewllewd Blitz. I have no idea what either of those things are or do, and unless they are a means of obtaining vast quantities of alcohol for free, delivered to your door whilst interneting, I cannot see the attraction.

I can see why these sort of remarks are really irritating. I don't use facebook as I find the whole idea totally pointless.

James obviously that wasn't the real reason. Actually I hadn't spoken to her in 20 years and have no real idea why I accepted her friend request. She probably would have languished on there a lot longer had it not been for her incredibly irritating thrice daily status updates though.

Hence my point about only really accepting people that you are vaguely interested in.

It's not that different to Mumsnet though really is it. We come on here, talk about inane trivia from time to time (amongst the serious debate and emotional support of course) and wander off.

Slightly off point, but was looking through my FB tonight (ok so am sad, really sad but I so love seeing what some of my mates are up to!) and what I don't understand is why anyone would put a crap photo of themselves up. So this one "friend" (went to school with aged 6 - why are we friends? ) put up several photo's of their holiday - all very unflattering i.e eyes closed, muffin top totally exposed, bra straps showing (and dirty ) etc etc. Now I don't know about you guys but frankly the only photo's I am posting of myself are going to be damn good, photoshopped to the hilt and making me look like yasmin le bon or claudia schiffer, not like a complete twonk. Yes I might be vain but if the only good photo's of yourself are with your eyes closed, muffin top showing etc, etc would it not be better to just not put them up
And no I didn't put any straight after birth piccies up thank you - one mate had her legs still in the air and boobs on show just WRONG!

Aaaah... I've had a breastfeeding one... would have been full breast exposed but for the hilarious speech bubble provided by her husband.
Am I alone in thinking some things should bersonal? ( I am a staunch advocate of BF by the way)

Had an acquaintance who updated her facebook pages from her hospital bed via her mobile phone while waiting to go in for her c-section.
Seriously.
I'm surprised she didn't tell us as the knife plunged in.

Nevermind the kid updates it's the "Jane Smith has the most wonderful husband in the whole wide world and she loves him very much" i.e. he is much better than your husband and you are all jealous or boak alert "Jane Smith is off for an early night with her wonderful husband wink wink"

FB updates you wish you could write "Jane Smith is pissed off her husband lasted 2 minutes and she had to finish herself off with the rabbit again"

"Jane Smith has just had explosive diarrhoea and has stunk out her toilet"

lmao sweetkitty!

Oh yes, the people who OVERSHARE on fb are some of the worst. One of my schoolfriends once updated her status as

X is sooo fkin _ right now, can't wait for M_ to get home and _ me with his __! teehee!!

I was so shocked, not just because she wrote it, not just because she genuinely thought no-one would "crack her code" but that she has her dad and her mil as friends on facebook, not to mention her co-workers!

She also overshares when they row too, (she actually quotes him) it's carcrash!

Ha I overshared greatly at 6am on Sunday morning, was so very when I woke up, fee like deleting my own account through the shame.

colditz dh and i treasure information such as the seedless grapes gem supplied previously. can we make fb friends with you?

another gem,

''the how much do you know about newborns quiz''
