months v. years

kaos16

I was just scrolling through facebook.  An acquaintance posted a picture of her little boy saying how excited she was that he was 33 months old.  Seriously!?  When does it end?  I can understand months up to a year.  I am even becoming slightly less annoyed with months up to 2 now that I have learned that there are legitimate milestones and differences in the months. . . . but come on.  I am waiting for the "baby boy is 3565 months old today" post!

LOL I do not look forward to the day we live to 300+!!

Introduce that lady to STFUParents.

23 months is the standard cut off.  Most normal people switch over to years on or before 2 years old.

I would also side-eye 33 month comment.

I think I stopped that at 18 months. I agree, it is so damn annoying.

Guys I'm 386 months on Saturday.

Guys I just turned 318 months. Can't wait for 319!

theartistformerlyknownas

I can handle up to 2 years, but most people I know stop after 18 mo and just say "one and a half" or "almost 2."

I'll be 374 months old tomorrow!

I'm 346 months old, I bet my mommy is so proud of me. 

It really does seem like I only learned how to walk yesterday. Especially because I busted my ass and slid down the stairs this morning.

I'm 340 months! (341 in 26 days!)

But no those people piss me off. Don't make me do math to figure out how fucking hold your kid is. The're 3. 3. If they are 3 and half or almost 4 say that. Don't say 33 months. You're an asshole.

Yea I don't really understand that. It seems like they don't want their kid to grow up and want to keep viewing them as a baby. Weird.

I guess I'm the old lady - I'm 395 months!

I have now been introduced to STFUparents and it is AMAZEBALLS!!!  It all makes sense now, because the mom I am referring to could be the culprit in about 93% of the posts I just saw on there!

I follow STFUparents on FB and it's hilarious to see their posts intermingled among all the mommy posts on my newsfeed.

Yikes- I read that like those annoying couples that post their 6 month "anniversary"...

goldchocobo.defunct635829490514903826

LMAO we just had this conversation at home.  I don't feel comfortable counting past 18 months.  I'd just switch to "A year and a half" or "A over a year" or "Almost 2" or something.

33 months makes me side eye so hard.

raissyrais

It'd like they wanna make their kid sound older or something. 1 is one 2 is 2 and 3 is definitely 3. I guess I'm 337 months old.

Once you hit one you stop with the months bullshit.  You are one until your birthday and then you are two and so on and so on.

And I turned 360 months old at the end of August. Woo to a new decade!

DH and I do this . . . but only with each other. We never post about that kind of stuff on FB because no one cares but us.

I'm 340 months.

That's a big milestone.

princessleia22

OMG! I am:

    412 months old
    or  1,793 weeks old
    or  12,557 days old
    or  301,368 hours old
    or  18,082,013 minutes old
    or  1,084,920,737 seconds old

If/when I have kids, I'm totally going to post this on Facebook at least once a week!

 

Luckily, I don't have anyone too bad on my Facebook page. But, I severely limit who I allow as friends and only have 30 or so people on there... I even decline friend requests from family if I have no interest in hearing about their daily lives. There are some kid pics, but nobody too annoying.  Most only post something kid related every couple weeks. I have one that had a baby over summer that posts nearly every day, but it hasn't been TOO annoying yet. Although, there was recently a "baby found her feet" post, that makes me wonder if I'll have to hear every little milestone, which could get old quickly.
