Don't want to see pictures of people's children? De-friend them or block them and go back to your obviously superior and more sophisticated lives.<br /><br />Get over yourselves.

This has gone on for over two years. Where she used to make status updates about life, the universe, and everything, she only posts things about her son's fever, his potty training, their foray at the park, his new favorite food, etc.<br /><br />I keep watching her posts and wondering if I should stage an intervention. Where has the real Sarah gone? <br /><br />Furthermore, she's no fun to hang out with anymore. She won't go anywhere without baby and when I do get together with her all she does is babble about his proclivities, activities and accomplishments. If I try to re-direct the conversation to something more adult (politics, gardening, philosophy, cooking . . . ANYTHING other than Baby John!!!!) she flicks her hand at me and says, "None of that matters anymore. The most important thing in my life is Baby John."<br /><br />Though my sons are now teenagers she likes to let me know, as a "supportive friend" how disturbed she is that my husband and I can go on dates or do things by ourselves (and for ourselves) without taking our kids along. How do we leave them at home!!!??? <br /><br />The only thing that keeps coming to my mind is that this poor baby boy is going to grow up with some SERIOUS oedipal issues; and goddess forbid when he actually grows up and starts claiming his independence or worse, (GASP!) leaves the nest to seek a life of his own. She'll be stuck in the black hole of nothingness-of-identity that she dug for herself.<br /><br />And then I can't help but wonder at what a train wreck she's probably making of her relationship with her husband.<br /><br />Eek!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-53073934240639885242011-03-03T16:27:25.204-05:002011-03-03T16:27:25.204-05:00I have at least two facebook friends who have post...I have at least two facebook friends who have posted pictures of themselves as toddlers as their profile picture.

There is little worse than these crazy mothers who have little else to do in their lives than to creep all over their children's lives, post countless pictures of them all over the net and inform the whole planet of every time the babies poop, have a fever or do something menial. I sometimes almost feel it should be illegal.<br /><br />Here is something else that blows your mind. As you know, some children start to masturbate as early as their toddler years. Well, guess what? Turns out it is a disorder with an actual 'scientific' name attached to it - Gratification Disorder! Get it? Gratification is a disorder! So, as I was trying to find some info about it online, I came across a psycho stay at home (of course) mother's blog, whose daughter has such disorder. Well, the crazy observes her daughter like a hawk and documents it all in the blog (http://gratification-disorder.org/) !!!! I am not even sure if I should be posting it here or in the post below: "Who Robs Women of Sexual Desire?"<br />......<br /><br />MarinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-62523963654810420832011-03-02T04:13:41.667-05:002011-03-02T04:13:41.667-05:00Yeah, but rarely as toddlers :)
