only lazy parents raise children on facebook
do you know that all children have birthdays? so, birthdays are not breaking news that you tell us on social media.
social media is so annoying. the most frustrating are those parents who take it upon themselves to share a detailed account of their childrens lives. i dont understand why people make such a big deal of the fact that they are parents: so much that they think that the whole world cares about it.
i mean, becoming a father or a mother is the easiest thing in the world. i dont need to go there.
we all have that one friend on facebook who is ever posting pictures of their children and their facebook statuses are all about them. their tweets are all about their adorable sons and their instagram photos are all about their childrens birthdays and swimming galas. what is it with these modern - day, social media parents that makes them think that parenting is done on social media?
\oooh... my son was playing with my phone and accidentally called my boss. how cute!\
\ooooh, my little man just uttered his first word! and it was mama! i am so proud! #mummytweet\
oooh, the joys of being a mother! #ilovebeingamom #motherhoodrocks\
\my baby is sick. pray for him.\
my little girl came first in her class! shes got her mothers genes! #proudmom #winning\
nobody really cares that your son fell off the couch. in fact, we dont care if you gave birth and whether you love being a mother or father. we all know, even those of us who have never given birth, that parenting is not easy, so you are not exactly telling us anything new.
all children are cute. all children sing. well, most dont sing very well, but we love them anyway. all children can recite poetry and bible verses pretty well. isnt that what they are taught in school?
all children can paint pictures of the sun, moon and the earth. yours may be untalented in painting - judging from the pictures i have seen on facebook, but who is judging? all children say funny things
and do even funnier things. all children act in school plays. all little girls look adorable in pink and purple as little boys look suave in blue jeans.
