We Kid You Not Childfree Forums

If I ever get to the point where I get excited about a kid using a toilet, shoot me between the eyes.

I am sooo glad that will never be my life. What a crappy meaningless existance.
I've been lucky so far and that no parents on my FB have been like that - HOWEVER - someone I know just gave birth who had NO LIFE whatsoever before she gave birth so I'm sure now I know what the next few years will bring. I might just stick around long enough for her to realize that her daughter isn't perfect - like later when she's getting knocked up by a horrid boyfriend ha ha. If I can last that long!

"Shout out to my baby girl for wearing panties all evening and going in the potty TWICE in a row!!!! You go girl!! xoxo"

Seriously??? I often wear panties all evening and no one is giving me shout outs.

ROFL! I want a shout-out on facebook when I go in the potty twice in a row, too. Woohoo!

To be perfectly honest, I'd be excited too. Imagine not having to change diapers any more.

I can sort of see where this woman is coming from. Diapers and potty training must suck the big one so when the kid is able to to go to the bathroom on their own, I'd celebrate too.

Yeah, I'm sure, but do 150 or so people REALLY NEED TO KNOW? LOL!

A simple "thank goodness we've moved on from that" would probably suffice.

Here's a new gem:

[kid's name]'s first 3 word sentence: "Uh-oh page rip!" (after tearing a Thomas the Train book)

A friend of mine keeps putting up her toddler's random noise quotes all the time and showcases them like she's a genius or something. Example: "[Kid] said 'um oh ga ca goo goo' today! Which means 'I wanna go for a car ride.' Isn't that the most awesome thing ever!!!!!!"

It takes great strength on my part to not reply "Fascinating."

Wow. One of my coworkers created a Facebook account for her four-year-old. Why does a four-year-old need a facebook account? It's not like she can post status updates or anything yet. But they also bought her a laptop last year, so i guess it this makes just as much sense as that does. What is wrong with people?

OMG Anastasia that reminds me of someone where I used to work, a co-worker - got a Christmas newsletter from a breeder and she put quotes from her daughter on it like she was a celebrity. Like:

Bratleigh on her sister, "Oh I guess we'll keep her"
Bratleigh on Keith Urban, "He is such a hottie!"

I mean talk about self-indulgent crap!

Kristen - a friend of mine made a Myspace page for her daughter that was like 3, WTF MYSPACE??

Mind you, if they create a site for their child so that they keep it off their own then I'm all for it. Rather like how I don't put many comments about my cat within my account because I wouldn't want to bore people with photos, but if Hillary had his own account then I'd post photos of him there (provided he had 'friends' who were willing to see what he was up to).

A laptop for a 4yo? Nice way to waste money. Why don't they just toss it out the window or give it to the homeless. Ugh.

One of my FB friends (a woman I grew up with) never, ever posts anything about herself. We've been FB friends for about a year now and not once have I seen her post a status about anything except her kids.

I don't understand how women can lose all identity like that. They're no longer "Lisa" or "Kim" they are "Bratliegh's" mom.

Whatever.

Oh, god, NKB. I hate that! If it were me, I'd unfriend her. That's really depressing.

Can I just say? I was really happy to not be on FB every day while I was on vacation. I posted maybe 3-4 updates. I did NOT miss it. LOL!

Here's a recent one from a family member of mine:

"cannot believe that her first born is turning 17!!!!! Those 36 hours of labor were SO worth it!!!!!"


Gag...

Oh, barf.

LOL That made me smile

A friend of mine had the following status: X "hopes to be pregnant with in year."
The comments all basically said either good luck and/or whoa, that's a very bold statement. I personally thought it was ridicous. 1st, the breederific behavior has already started, clearly a very bad case of the baby rabies. 2nd, what if she wasn't able to concieve? It would be really awkward having to answer all the questions about TTCing. Maybe I'm just a really old fashioned person, but I really preferred it when ladies didn't announce their pregnancy until almost the 2nd trimester.

My friends and coworkers with kids write comments like these (this guy has two sons):

S doesn't care if you're trimming the tree or not, "Keep your hands off your brother's balls" is good advice any time...

WTF!? Seriously if my mother ever said any crap like that I'd fall down laughing. Who even thinks like that?

Hey, I'd be happy if they didn't bother announcing it at all. LOL!

I'm friends with my friend's YOUNG TEEN daughter on Facebook. I have known her and her brother since they were in the uterus. Literally.

The other day, I see this message from the girl on FB: "Texting my baby. Hope I can see him on Saturday night."

This girl is not even 16 yet. She MIGHT be 15.

Totally. Creeped. Out. I predict Teen Mommy... (I know the family well, obviously.)

*brrrr*

Maybe I'm super-old-fashioned, but I don't think I'd let my not-yet-legal kids behave that way online.
