S/O of Sanctimommy

[sparkythelawyer]

Mercifully, no.

I did have to drop out of some FB groups during the measles crisis in IL this fall though, too much crazy.

Also, 2 out of my three kids are FB friends with me. So it would be pretty crappy of me to complain about parenting publicly. But especially where they could read it.

I know someone who does this. Her kids are like HS age and her FB friends and she bitches and moans about how ungrateful they are and what BRATS they are and then TAGS them. 

She also takes pictures of their messy rooms and TAGS them in them. 

I roll my eyes so hard.

My cousin is on my facebook and she is totally a Sanctimommy. I have her hidden because I couldn't handle "how beautiful her life is". She is a wannabe photographer (her main job is raising her kids at home of course). Her current profile photo is of her pregnant with her third child standing in front of a sunlit window in her bra and underwear with the caption like "creating life is the best job you can have".

She is also always posting articles about how crappy others are raising their children (too much tv, eating non-organic food, etc) and her statuses are things like "I wish people would care about their children, there was a poor child at the playground today who looked like he hadn't washed his face in days. It only takes 3 seconds to get a napkin!"

Totally my kid. He has perma messy face. I wash it, and 30 seconds later he looks like a raggamuffin again.

Well, you know I bitch about my dd's entitled attitude, but NOT TO THE PUBLIC! That's just in such poor taste! Shaming kids is just wrong and not even effective!

I know. I do have to say this Mom grew up SUPER POOR ( like her family was one of the poorer families in our town) and her kids have A LOT comparatively but don't SHAME them publically. It makes the kid look bad that even his MOM doesn't like him. 

It's fine to bitch about your kid. But don't put them on BLAST ya know. 


BTW I have NEVER seen you say 1 bad word about your kids on FB. You know you are an awesome Mom! LOL! 

[patbutcher]

I have the biggest bragger known to mom kind on my fb. She home schools and posts every day some amazing thing her dd is doing- colors at 12 months, 14 words at 13 months, knows the alphabet at 15 months etc.

A friend posted that she is buying tickets to Bubble Guppies ( not sure how to spell) and a bunch of us also commented about going together. She, of course, had to chime in with " dd doesn't even know who they are, we don't watch tv".

Really? You had to post that?

I will deal with the "so blessed" posts on my feed.

I will deal with the perfect mommy posts on my feed.

But I defriend IMMEDIATELY upon the first "poopy in the potty" post.

Yes, I have a few. One regularly posts things like "Noone realizes how hard it is to stay at home with two young children!!!!" and another regularly posts a bunch of drama mongering statuses about GMOs and organic food along the lines of "if you REALLY cared about your child's health, you would eat all organic!!!!"

Tell her it's so easy to eat GMO free and you're doing it too! 

For real their are only 7 things currently GMO approved for US in the US/food chain at the moment.

Corn, Soybeans Canola, Alfalfa, Cotton, (all used more in animal feed and developing 3rd world countries, not so much in US human food), Squash and Papaya. 

In some cases, based on how the state regulations are listed some GMOs can also be organic.

Parenting. You're doing it right after all. Esp. if sticking it to the proverbial GMO man is where it's at for you.

I hate the "so blessed" about anything posts. Like when people say they were blessed not to be hit by a tornado. What about the other poor people who were hit by it? 

Duh, anybody hit by the tornado wasn't praying hard enough.

I had to unfollow the one I had.

Her parents gave them their house as a wedding gift, so she doesn't work, but her child still goes to daycare 3 days a week. Her mother also lives with them at least part of the year, and was there for the first three month of her kids life.

She posts at least once a day how difficult her life is.

This fits in this thread. I have a couple of friends that are married to dbags that are just very uninvolved in parenting, taking care of the house, etc. They are constantly posting parenting articles and tagging their spouses. I mean....let's just bring more attention to the fact that he's a shit dad, shall we? Really I feel bad for them.

The only thing I find more annoying than passive aggressive parenting is passive aggressive spousing.  

One of my bffs (or about to be former. I complain about her all the time here) gave up her life to move to a farm with her H but she didn't really want to. He's a sh*t husband and a so-so father. 

The one day she called me and said, "T is so busy today! You know how that goes on the farm. Getting the combine ready for the corn harvest!" 

Ummm........it was June 15th. He's in his shop hiding from you and the kids honey. 

She posts all these articles about parenting together and making time for spouses and God has graced the country life. Oh My. 

Then she sends me all these articles about the trying times of being a farm wife. Except while I have my days I don't really feel that way too often.

I know I'm not a Sanctimommy, but after all these posts I'm wondering if I'm really annoying on FB. I think my worst offense is posting frequent pictures of my baby. (I never talk about poop, though!)

This is not my problem at all. 

We're all lying if we're saying our kids don't grace our FB constantly. 

My own facebook is full of kid pic after kid pic with a random story in. For fun. So grandma can see. 

I actually love kid pics.

It's the rants about how we're all doing it wrong that get to me.

I was thinking in the bigger scheme how many people get irked by things on FB. I'm sure I have friends who are like "Seriously? Another picture of her baby? THREE TIMES THIS WEEK??"

Got it. LOL. Yeah. FB In general is annoying as all get out. Just by nature. I mean it's a giant AW of all the things. Some things are just more AWish than others.  

I wouldn't worry about it.

[momof2boys]

Yup, one facebook mom i'm friends with has never ever said anything nice about her daughter.  And now she's pregnant again, I think I need to unfriend her.

Today on FB I commented on a funny post about vaccines moms wished existed "I wish there was an ear infection vaccine!"

I shit you not, there was a response "maybe if you didn't vaccinate to begin with they wouldn't be a problem! Food for thought! "

To which I responded that I'd rather have my kid get an ear infection than the measles.

Internet Logic. Have to love it. 

That's dumbest thing I've ever read. Ear infections and vaccines are not mutually exclusive. I bet non vaxxers get ear infection too.

I have some FB friends who are super sanctimonious about the food they let their kids eat. they are mostly vegans and they don't vaccinate. I have hidden all of them. I don't think I have any true sanctimommies on my feed. Most people keep it real. Or maybe I've just forgotten because they're all hidden.

ETA: I'm reading some of the pp's now and LOLing that someone would be annoyed at 1 pic a day. I might not have sanctimommies on my feed but I do have people who post several times every day, usually with pics. The worst offender posts at least 1 set of selfies (with kids) every day. I say set because there is never 1 selfie. It's at least 3. Sometimes more, of a nearly identical pose.

ETAx2: I also need to add that a throwback photo should not have been taken and posted last month. Yes someone does that. The same person that posts several times a day.

This seems like an appropriate time to say how happy I am to not be on Facebook BC I just can't deal with the stupid.

You are my H. 
He has no FB because he can't handle stupid of any sort. 

I need it so I have something to gossip about with all my sane friends.

[redpenmama]

I've found that the worst offenders on my newsfeed are, not surprisingly, MLMers. Because, you know, not only are they a better mom than you, but they are also a #girlboss who is making millions and living life better than you are.
