Sixth grade parent still dealing with this crap and I’m so over it. [/quote]

same happened before here and was part of a group too that wanted to exclude others. Its just so annoying and cant wait to be done with elementary.[/quote]

It gets "better" (/s) in MS and HS - when the same ("I think I'm) "cool" moms try to live vicariously through their daughters, and micromanage the social calendar. Consider yourself warned. [/quote]

Omg the number of moms I see who post pictures of their daughters’ social events, boyfriends, etc etc blows my mind. They are nutso. [/quote]

Omg the number of people posting a picture of what they are eating for dinner blows my mind.

In other words, I don’t see how posting pictures of your kids and friends is any worse, or offensive, or “nutso” than the tons of other stuff people post.  [/quote]

Call me crazy, but I don't think a slice of pizza is having its privacy violated when you post a picture of it.[/quote]

Ha, gotta love the posters who see nothing wrong with posting all about their kids’ and their own social lives on social media. I am understanding now that they really don’t know that other people think they are sad little insecure people. And that they probably think that those of us who don’t post don’t have social lives. 😂[/quote]

Maybe they have their permission.  You don’t know, so why the snark?  I’m not on social media, but if you are- you should stop taking what others post personally or get off.  [/quote]

It doesn’t matter if you have their permission. Why do you need to share about your private social plans with people who weren’t there?? Why can’t you just share with the people who were there, the ones you cared to include? [/quote]

I don’t and I don’t care if others do or don’t.  Their intention is to share pictures of themselves/kids having a good time.  If you are bothered by seeing that, move along.  [/quote]

You say you don't care but seem really intent on defending this unnecessary practice that does affect other people. No matter how many times you tell them to look away. What's it to you if people want to vent about it? If you're not actively doing it they're not talking about you.[/quote]

It’s a delusion. There is no “mom clique.”  So what exactly does OP “hate”? That sometimes people get together without her? Grow up[/quote]

Why do you care if people like OP think the over sharers are jerks?[/quote]

She posted on an anonymous board for comments.  So…that’s how it works[/quote]

Exactly. And many agree with OP but people are chiming in to say just look away. So people are commenting on that as well. If people can ask why OP cares about any of this, then the social media defenders can be questioned as well. I think the social media defenders don't like the idea that people are judging them for what they post.[/quote]

You are questioning people for simply replying to the post- which is the whole purpose of starting a thread here- to get replies [/quote]

I'm asking a question. Which is also a form of reply. Why don't you just answer the question? Why do you care if people like OP can't stand the mom clique people posting kindergarten play dates? What's with the "grow up" answers? Why don't these people explain what they get out of sharing to family and friends flung far and wide pics from an exclusive kindergarten play date? Distant family surely don't care about kids they don't know. But your classmates parents might wonder why they weren't invited. The "Grow up" or "don't look" posters aren't being helpful or insightful whatsoever with their pithy comments.[/quote]

The problem is you.  You view it as an exclusive play date. They view it as their kids and friends going out and having fun.  [/quote]
