I might be losing some FB friends today

I had to call all of my "mommy" friends are on their status update abuse."Dear friends: Please stop informing me about your babies bowel movements. Thanks."THREE different women posted status updates about poop yesterday.  Gross.

Re: I might be losing some FB friends today

  • Ew... I'm proud of you, I don't think I would've had the cajones to say it.
  • My biggest pet peeve is when someone is going into labor and a friend or mother updates their status with: XX cm dialated!!1!Gag.
  • I've become a FB friend delete Nazi.  You post something stupid as your status, you're out.  I've cut my friends list from like 500 to 200.  It's liberating.

  • Kiki, are we FB friends? If not, we should be.I promise not to talk about bowel movements.

  • Bippy, I have a friend that is currently updating her OWN FB status regarding dilation/hours in labor/etc. Really? If I were in labor, I don't think I would be updating my facebook page or on a computer/pda/whatever. I don't even think it was a mobile update.
  • Vogt- I don't know if I believe you.  Everyone loves to talk about poop on FB!Already got one reply "Poop is just such a big part of a mom's life- sorry!"  Puh-lease.

  • Uggh, I get so sick of TMI updates.  I have a friend who is ready to pop, and I fear she'll be just like that.
  • Really? If I were in labor, I don't think I would be updating my facebook page or on a computer/pda/whatever. I don't even think it was a mobile update.It's amazing how when people do things, their first reaction is to update their facebook.  It's unbelievable.
  •  "Poop is just such a big part of a mom's life- sorry!" There's such an inherent smugness and superiority in that statement. I wonder how you become a parent without getting that way?
  • Good for you! Did any of them say anything?
  • You could send a reply back about how whips and chains are part of your daily life, but there are some things that shouldn't be posted on FB :) Insert whatever fetish you want for the whips and chains :)

  • Well, technically, poop is a part of everyone's life, but that doesn't mean you have to talk about it in a public forum.

  • Really, poop is a big part of MOM's life (if she really wants it to be), but doesn't need to be a part of EVERYONE else's life via FB.
  • ac- I feel like it is :(When I was at the zoo the other day, I told FI that I didn't know if I wanted to have kids because I don't want to turn into a selfish asshat.

  • I blame Jessica Simpson for starting the 'dropping the kids off at the pool' poo-talk. I'm sure moms have always done this, but I don't have bookface so I wouldn't know.

  • I'm sure I pooped as an infant, but I'm 99.9% sure that my mom didn't dial up any of her besties to tell them that I took a dump.Babies managed to fill their diapers just fine before the invention of FB statuses.

  • ewwwwww. Ditto TR. Its a big part of everyones life since everyone does it, most people just dont have verbal diarrhea about it. hehe get it.
  • I think about constantly updated your fb status is weird. especially if it's about you babies poop..

  • I am a big fan of STFU, Parents, and STFU, Marrieds for this very reason.I don't post status updates. I would say 90% of my FB "friends" don't even know I AM getting married for this very reason. I am certain others would not be able to justify "life" without being able to post status updates about what they ate for breakfast, what their child's diaper looked like, and how they have the "most amazing husband in the world".At some point, I wonder who they are trying to convince.And, when they really become status terrorists...I delete them. I am not even sure why I am on FB since I don't even have pictures up, or a wall...ha!
  • good for you!Seriously, people who post about their babies make me not want to have one. If all of your life is poop and drinking gallons of wine every night, then count me out. I'm sure there's more to it than that, but they don't make it seem that way.

  • I'm fb friends with a few other new moms, and I've never seen a fb status update about baby's BM's. Ick. If I did, I'd at least hide them. That is definitely an example of leaving real life for Mommyland, and not even realizing it (or caring?).
  • yeah that is nasty. I have one of my friends' status/news feeds on "hide" because it's either crazy stuff or TMI. I think I will have to do the same now to his gf because yesterday on my news feeds, it showed she had posted on his wall: "Thanks babe!  Who knew it would take an atheist to make me closer to seeing God?!" or something.  Ugh.

  • That is disturbing, and also it's one of many reasons why I don't have a FB!
  • I am so thankful that I don't have any friends that have done stuff like this. Well I do have one friend who had someone updating when she was in labor, but it wasn't anything too graphic thank god.

  • So I guess I talking about how bad my cat just deuced up the litter box and made my entire apt smell like a sewage plant is out of the question here?
  • One of my friends mom's posted pics yesterday of her daughter giving birth.  Like super pained pushing face pics. And then placenta covered baby pics.  No vag shots, thank god.  I deleted both of them.
