wtf? shameless.
I had to block sd21 from showing up in my newsfeed on fb because she can be SO annoying. constantly reposting pregnancy pictures (her kid is 17 mos), constantly posting selfies, her kid has a fb page of his own and she's always commenting on her statuses and pictures as him, telling herself what a great mom she is and how beautiful she is. :O I don't think I'm old, but maybe I am. I don't understand this, I think it's attention seeking and vain, and I would be beyond embarrassed to do something like that. well another person on my list is a young mom. I don't know her real well, just aquaintances, really. she has a 2 year old daughter. apparently she has a page for her kid, too. she posted a picture of herself, and as her daughter she comments "that's my pretty mommy!" holy what. the. fuck? are these people serious? what is it with all these babies having fb pages and the moms telling themselves how wonderful they are via their child's page? am I just not up to date on shit? my boys do not have fb pages and will not until they are old enough to have them themselves. and I would never, ever tell fb world that I am beautiful and a great mom or any of the other things these girls say about themselves, either as myself or hiding behind my child to do it. unfuckingbelievable. I have never seen such conceit in all my life.

This is what happens to the
This is what happens to the "everyone gets a trophy" kids when they grow up.
Society and piss poor parenting are to blame! They have been told they are special their entire lives.
I'm just seriously sitting
I'm just seriously sitting here at a loss. my kids know I love them, but I don't expect the rest of the world to see them the same way I do, and I don't raise them to think they are the apple of everyone's eye. I'm so glad bd19 does not act like this. she has so much to be proud of, and she never even mentions it on fb. she's hardly ever on there at all. I would kick her ass if she was acting like that!
And now that they are adults
And now that they are adults they aren't getting the limitless adoration, so they give it to themselves. I can't imagine that being my goal in life, my aspiration- constant adoration. Really unappealing and boring.
LOL I am the opposite - I
LOL I am the opposite - I take horrible photos! People who have seen my photo then meet me say "oh, you look much better in real life!". So, I am not one for selfies! I will have friends photos of nights out and say "why did no one tell me I looked that bad?" and they all say they have no clue how I looked nice yet the photos do not! I swear cameras hate me
Narcissistic. That's all I
Narcissistic. That's all I can say.
I thought it was just sd21
I thought it was just sd21 doing this ridiculous shit. she's always been attention hungry, when she was younger, if someone got out a camera, she would literally come running and trample anyone in her way to make sure no one took any pictures without her being in them. the fact that there are more like her out there...scary. and that they have kids of their own...terrifying. wth are their kids going to grow up to be like?
that is exactly what bd19
that is exactly what bd19 said about this. that once the congrats posts and the newness of the baby wore off, that is when this crap started. I've said that she needs to be the constant center of attention. she has been the center of attention for 2 years. first the pregnancy, then the baby, then the wedding. now that there is nothing going on where all eyes are on her, she's making sure to remind everyone of these events with the constant reposting of pregnancy, newborn, and wedding pictures, and of course the non stop selfies with the expectation of everyone telling her how pretty she is. the whole complimenting herself as her son is freaking weird and way over the top to me. she takes pictures all the time, of everything. it's as if she thinks everyone is sitting on the edge of their seat, waiting to see her pictures. she gets pissy when people don't pay as much attention to her posts and pics as she thinks they should.
her whole identity is the fact that she's a mom and wife. she also has a mommy page she made for moms to post questions and give advice. she got pissy a few months back and sent out a mass msg (she added me to this page) that she is noticing that people are seeing the posts, but nobody is commenting on them and that she made that page for a reason and that people need to be more involved. :jawdrop: I was like What. The. Fuck? she basically just scolded everyone for not being on her page and making it active enough for her. I would NEVER tell people they need to be paying more attention to my shit. she is either really stupid or really ballsy.
she doesn't work. she was
she doesn't work. she was very spoiled. mostly by grandparents giving her everything on a silver platter, and then SO never ever disciplined her so she got away with murder all the time. she loves Loves LOVES medical attention. she takes that kid to the dr and ER constantly. just like she does with herself. one or the other of them is always "sick". it's pretty ridiculous.
I've had to let a friendship
I've had to let a friendship slide over something similar. A friend was pregnant, and at least twice per week would post a belly pic and something baby-related. By week 10 or so, I was done. She even posted a few times within a few days of the baby being born. Each post had tons of 'likes' and everyone commenting on how beautiful she looked.
Now, I'd love it if people came up to me to say how beautiful I am, but if I have to wear a sign saying, "Compliment me, please, my entire self-worth depends on it!" I just don't think I'd value the compliments the same.
I have tons of other friends with kids, who post here and there about their kids, but it's clearly not the centre of their universes. I guess for some women, becoming pregnant may be their only achievement. Or the only acheivement they value.
I also think it's an invasion of the kid's privacy. They can't consent to images of them being blasted onto the internet to remain for eternity.
