Are we going to talk about her eyebrows? Or is that for the Beauty forum and not General Parenting?

Eww yeah that instagram account is so not my thing. Can you imagine being in the middle of crying over something and thinking to take a selfie? It has NEVER occurred to me to do such a thing. And so many of the pictures are of moms being moms when their hair and makeup are pretty. Gag.

Sorry you can't afford it, babe. Good luck getting mommy-tracked in corporate middle management purgatory. Besos!
Do you really think women work only because they can’t afford to stay at home?
NP, not all, probably not most. But probably the ones who can’t afford it are the ones who are always bothered by SAHM’s just breathing and constantly feel the need to complain about them, yes, those women. Jealous.
Nah, I just look down on them. Like I look down on the Kardashians, or Real Housewives characters.

It’s off putting because it’s attention seeking. And posed. However, it’s also the point of social media.

Or rather than making people read all that, sum it up in one sentence: "I chose to have too many kids."

Yup, this.

Eeeeek. That’s great that you’re stuck in dating land, but most of us secured the ring a long time ago. Not sure if that’s something I’d brag about on here!

When I see these, I think of nothing but someone wanting attention or their 15 mins of fame. LOTS of young celebrity women do this too for all sorts of reasons.

Right! Like I’m trying to understand the mindset of people whose first inclination when they cry is to grab their phone and snap a selfie. Like, what?!?!

Honestly, we would benefit enormously from reintroducing etiquette classes in school, because obviously parents are no longer teaching their children the basics of social living and it is most evident in the complete destruction of personal boundaries in public discourse. Yesterday I saw a commercial of a company that prides itself on treating its employees “like family“. That is not something you want to strive for.
That, and women face enormous pressure to be looked at, and for a variety of reasons, so this is a mostly woman problem.
+ 1 Why this need to share every emotion, thought, feeling, or personal moment. I just don’t get.
