Is it normal for moms to post every playdate and social gathering on social media?

[Anonymous]

I know no one that does this. Also it sounds exhausting!

It may be for family long distance or other reasons.

I've never understood this. I just text those people pictures. If I care about you seeing DS enough to post about it, I probably have your number and communicate with you via phone.

Seek therapy OP. If you’re that disturbed over social media posts something is wrong with you. You need a social media break.

I would be very annoyed if I were a parent in that group and a mom posted photos and locations constantly. So weird.

That’s very weird.

I do not care what anyone does with their own time unless they are posting pics of MY child on social media. That's a big no-no, and I don't know why people think it's ok.

You are on it too much if you even notice this.

If it makes you feel better, OP, we have play dates maybe once or twice a month on the weekends and no more. We otherwise hang out just us, with our families, with our friends (none have kids), at activities, or we’re traveling. No posts on social media about this, though we also don’t follow any of our son’s friends/classmates parents. Even if they follow us, neither DH nor I have posted in over a year, and our stories are limited to our close friends and family.

I know a group like this. They are basically an adult sorority with lots of infighting and drama among both the moms and the kids. The Halloween group photo may look enviable to some but it's a mess. They also all drink to get drunk pretty much every time they gather.

OP (and others)—why do you care? Let people be.

+1 my rule of thumb is the more people post on social medial the mire unhappy and insecure they are irl.
