I really do need to defriend myself of all the baby/child bores, swear to god.

Has anyone seen those vile herpes emails? Featuring a massive close up pic of a child's extreme herpes-ridden face? They're being sent around by my mummy friends as a "school infection awareness" exercise. Jesus! Stop it!

Are they still saying "sexy lil' man" about their 3 year olds?

Sick of seeing Dustbin Beaver on my newsfeed, taking the piss now

Disney Princess quizzes has now spread to Mean Girls characters, Game of Thrones characters and Lord of the Rings characters.

Not if they've got herpes, no

Seriously, yes. I really do have some utter bunny boiler mums on my feed, I need to lose them. Apparently in one case posting 30 pics a day (alas I'm not exaggerating) doesn't seem to be recognised as symptomatic of extreme mental problems.

I had a tragic one the other day.

"My lil princess is so ill, she can't breathe, can't stand seeing her like this, what should I do? xxxx"

Funnily enough, no one suggested going to hospital or calling an ambulance...

The next morning, she took her to the doctor who send her straight to hospital and we were treated to photos of her child on a drip and a breathing mask.

I've had the Disney ones, GoTs, LotRs and Harry Potter ones.

All good fun

Discusting! I hate people who use their kids illnesses to get attention on Facebook.

People who post this sort of stuff really do make me fume. It's one thing to post photos of yourself in these situation - I would just assume you were a pathetic and desperate twit and move on - but another to post pics of children who probably have no say in whether the pics are taken or shared. It's such a violation of their basic rights.

One of my dearest and oldest friends sent me a message on Facebook,
Hello Mate,
My reply was hey great to hear from you, how are you.
Hello Mate.
He will figure Facebook out sooner than later.

It's a form of Munchausen's syndrome, is it not? Pathetic.

That's awful. What kind of parent stops to take a picture, and uploads it to FB! instead of calling a doctor or ambulance? Just....so self-centred and idiotic. More important to get likes and "OMG hope ur ok Hun" type replies, than getting their child medical help?

I think in this day and age it's just standard attention seeking.

Sadly there is a video going around which is a girl having sex with 3 guys and is known as the Cimla gusher classy girl eh ?

We got ourselves a new family member in the form of a lovely jack russell yesterday - It was tempting to take lots of pictures and post them all to facebook but i restrained! May do a project 365 type thing see how that goes down with people

Equally an interesting debate kicked off on one of my friends posts yesterday, she's very pro breastfeeding and a lot of her posts are focused on that, this one however was the 'dangers of formula feeding' and the row that kicked off was incrediable she has had two people defreiend her for the post.

I'm not a parent so I don't know if these kind of posts are or feel like personal attacks or if they'd had enough of seeing those types of posts.

I see a lot of these "inspirational" stories floating about just now with pictures of cancer ridden children who make miracle recoveries, or soldiers who's dogs go mental when they come home, or peoples pets who help them inject insulin or some bollocks. Whenever I see one I just post "This didn't happen, the kid died" or "this didn't happen, the dog died when he was in Iraq" to see what people say. That old lie about the racist lady on the plane is STILL doing the rounds after appearing in a chain email 15 years ago! It's simply never happened, but people still lap it up, no matter how many re-incarnations it has!

May sound harsh, but I really don't care about a story which is circulated so many times on peoples facebooks that it's probably not even true anyway. Even if it is then who cares? It happened years ago and I bet he last thing they wanted, especially the sick kids ones, was to have their picture splashed all over total strangers facebook pages.

I really hate the countless "cancer/diabetes/down syndrome/whatever support" groups which post inspirational messages about God or some made up celebrity quote on a background of clouds or flowers which idiots "share" and "like" and it ends up on my feed. When you click on these groups they just post pictures of cats, videos of people falling off bikes or crap about hanging peados the other 99% of the time.

It's not harsh, Blo, I totally agree, it's all massive BS. And I refuse to click "like" because I'm against child abuse/cancer/ebola/disability discrimination/racism.

So does me not liking say that I think child abuse/cancer/ebola/disability discrimination/racism is ace? Please. It's the utter pointlessness that gets me too. I'm avoiding those petitions like the plague as well since the last one I signed bombarded me with about 10 spam emails a day.

Did you click 'like'?

I don't know if I mentioned it here but a friend (not really a close one, just a slightly friendly acquaintance, put a status up saying:

"Like if you hate paedophiles"

Really?

I would have just said "It's for things like this I wish Facebook had a "Dislike" button" and hopefully see a few people on my list clear themselves off it.


Every time I see one of those grinning kids holding a sign saying "I beat Cancer's Ass" I just want to be sick. Who started this trend anyway? It's the fact that no one even questions if it#s real or not. I know it's not important but if people are so gullible to just blindly link themselves to such rubbish then what are they like in the real world? Do they go around Childrens sick wards saying how much they like it? Do they contact parents of children in hospices and tell them how amazing their little kids are? No. Thought not because that would be mental. Why be so false online and pretend you care so much?

This itself was shared on my Facebook feed recently and I found it hilarious. It may have appeared in this thread already.

Ha, I posted that here previously! Definitely worth a repost though

Ergh one of the most attention seeking posts on mine whicih I have two friends who've done it is posted a picture of lots of tablets and a comment saying, can't believe I have to take these all everyday.

I know valentines day is approaching but all the single people seem to be putting those we are single and fab stuff like I'm single because I don't settle and it means I'm a strong independent person .These are the people who check in on every date they go on , talk about how this is the one when they do find someone and then proceed to tell facebook and the world every detail of their love life.

I saw 10 put up within the last half hour so I shared a post saying "Don't worry if you're sad about being alone on valentines Day, just remember nobody loves you on any other day of the year either"

I almost forgot that nonevent was approaching. Just like Christmas, Bonfire night, Halloween and Poppy Day, it seems Valentines day also has to be mentioned more than 2 weeks in advance for no reason whatsoever other than for smug people to feel like they are the first in the world to post about it.

I've already got a bet with myself on which couples I know will get engaged on 14/2. Out of the ones that are already married I am guessing at least one will announce they are expecting a baby, but there were 2 of these over Christmas so the odds are smaller.

One couple last night posted something along the lines of "wanted to wait until Valentines day to announce this, but we just got the keys to our house!" Cue loads of "OMG congrats Hun" style posts and stuff about how they both worked so hard for it (they didn't...I used to work with the girl and she skived of all the time, it's all her partners doing). Why on Earth would you need to a) tell anyone this and b) think it's necessary to announce it to the World on Valentines day?


What next? Waiting until Easter Sunday to announce your MOT results?

From another baby bore. "I can't believe my baby's two today".

OK, what's so difficult to believe? It's pretty basic science, as time passes people age and babies grow up.
