Does it drive you crazy.... The parent shaming on Facebook/social media?

Question

Anyone have friends/relatives who post how WONDERFUL they are? They eat no refined grains during pregnancy, their child potty trained at nine months, They would never feed their child 'those' baby food pouches, they weigh less when they give birth, etc... What happened to supportive mommies? We all do our best, no matter what we believe in. Post a good story below- make us all laugh!

Answer

I usually just ignore posts most of the time. I get tickled to death over it when I know the person very well and they are being fake about it though. My cousin, for example, posts all the time about what "health fanatics" her family is, but it's for show. In reality, they eat like your average family. And I have a few friends who post things about their "5 years going strong marriage", and it's fake, because I happened to know at the time they were separated because he had cheated and left her. It doesn't bother me at all to know that people are doing awesome things. It bothers me that they think the made up parts of their life make them better than everyone else, when we're all just really on different decks of the same old boat.

Answer

I would go out of my mind if I had to record life like that. Its okay to brag a little but if your always one upping its not okay. 
There is no way to be 100% healthy in this world. I will give my kid food pouches if I want to. I don't have kids yet but I believe its all a balance. Sure feed your kid kale but its okay if they eat some smarties occasionally too. I've heard of some mothers bringing their child their own cake when going to a party because they don't want their kid having sugar. One party with a sugary cupcake won't kill anyone.

Answer

Fpesnt bother me too much everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Answer

I think some people are just proud of themselves an their children. There's nothing wrong with that. Unless they are saying they are better than others for whatever reason which is terrible. I have a "friend" on fb who claims she is the best mom in the world because she breast feeds and those who don't are just harming their children. To me that is terrible no one should think they are better for their choices. 
And I post a lot about my pregnancy on fb because my family wants to stay updated an I've been told I shouldn't be bragging because others have hard pregnancies. Apparently I'm insensitive to those people because I'll post tht my son is healthy and measuring bigger and how I'm already dilating at 37weeks and little things like that. I don't see how I'm bragging an I'm definitely not rude about it. I'm just so excited that I've had a good pregnancy and can't wait to meet my baby boy. But everyone can portray statuses however they want because it's so impersonal then when you talk face to face

Answer

My cousin posts weekly about this stuff... That bran cereal is her treat dessert (so guilty), that her son is so advanced, videos of him eating kale, etc. the only solace is that it's usually her own mom that likes the post. I'm sure her friends are so annoyed.

Answer

Aint got time for people like that its get a life and let your child be a child
