When I was born I took nine months to prepare myself for the physical abuse my mother intentionally inflicted upon me as she forcefully squeezed my body and skull through her undersized vaginal canal.

Still waiting for an apology from her... and a gold medal for my birthing achievement.

I LOL'd 99 killing it per usual

Congrats 99 post on Facebook and take in all the praise

Big deal. I make faces like that pulling out a splinter.

Unfortunately, I don't really do the Facebook.

I only have 18 "friends"—most of whom are family. I set up my Facebook page way back when my kids wanted accounts. I don't go on there much more than once or twice a month and pretty much only to see if there is any material on my pathetic feed suitable for this thread... which there never is.

So unfortunately, my Facebook page would generate no traction for this sick Facebook meme I just made!

However, if anyone here wants to use this badboy meme to stir up some **** on Facebook then they are welcome to do so... but please report back if you get any significant action with it.

i didnt mean that childbirth cant be extremly hard. what annoys ppl with most fb moms is spamming the feed w child pictures and idiotic quotes about children/true love/beingmomisatoughjob/etc for YEARS. This 43 photos link is being posted mostly by ppl months or years after their own experience. Would u think it'd be normal if after i graduated from uni i'd spam "uni is tough" and "ur nothing wo education" pics for years after the fact bc i havent done anything else i think is postworthy?

1 Like = 1 C-section
1 Share = 1 doula
ignore = you were adopted

FYP

Look at the shape of his head. I'd say he deserves an apology.

I don't think anyone believes your mom's vag is undersized.

I really feel like I understand where you're coming from. It might be helpful for me to add that my Facebook friend's list # has been basically stagnant for 5 years because I offend other women at a prodigious rate, and lack the self control and social skills necessary to lay off their Essential-Oils-Cure-Cancer style bs.

However, we still live in a world that constantly defines us by our abilities and choices as a mother. The backlash to a woman who says, "this is hard" is enormous. The backlash to women who are completely devoted and openly adoring of their children is enormous. The backlash to women who still have a real human life outside their children and say, take a vacation without them or spend their free time on any hobby, is enormous.

Women can't win here. And somehow you're all shocked when they create a separate circle-jerk that addresses that need you're ignoring.

This is basically gas-lighting. "You're worthless/spoiled/entitled/selfish until you become a mother. It isnt worth listening to.
Oh you're a mother now? Well shut the hell up about ANY feelings you have about that being a worthy/giving/selfless thing. It isn't worth listening to.

Sorry, I'm distracted atm. Not sure if I'm explaining what I mean well??

Actually this is good and I certainly would not be prowed of myself for perpetuating the feeling that nothing is important or notable in a woman's life.

Is there a way to address this and yet also push back against those that go overboard with this.

Like day-drinking?

I'm staunchly pro day-drinking any time you have the reasonable opportunity. Thank god it is almost time for Sunday football.

They way to address this for your preferred change is to focus praise on women who are defining themselves as something whole and not just as a mother.

That sounds selfish, because I'm defining myself as something other on 2p2, generally. But, I'm a stay-at-home Mom on my 5th consecutive night with less than 5 hours sleep, already with an hour of singing nursery rhymes, and another hour of food prep and cleaning under my belt today

...and given the chance, I'd rather engage you on day-drinking and fantasy football than a discussion of the 15 different ways I can sing the alphabet.

It isnt flashy or aggro, but the real solution is to earnestly validate their need to have X acknowledged and then move the conversation outside of motherhood.


...if you just want to get a rise out of them you need to ride the Slut/Slut-shaming line.

This is more just concerning than idiotic/narcissistic/annoying but I needed to post it somewhere. It does mention Einstein, so maybe appropriate ITT? I'm not sure if this is a mental breakdown or drug induced but it's gotta be one of those, right? Spoilered to save the scroll wheels.

Yeah, the rambling paragraph-less stream of consciousness seems like someone whose mind is just insanely full of disconnected ideas and just has to get them out.

Could be for either of the two reasons you mentioned, but if his next post is about puking on a guy on the subway because his head hurts from the banality, I'd bet on the former.

man, all that typing and only 2 likes

Wall of text = TL;DR obv.


WRT the conehead birthing meme, this addition by chopstick would be a very nice tweak, if it were to be posted:

Damn, it sure would be great if someone with a sizable friend network, i.e. greater than my 18, would post the meme along with the like, share, ignore bit.

Try unfollowing

I shared it, had no idea what a doula was before googling. Probably wont get responses though.

Plexus guy:

If you truly, TRULY can not afford Plexus, I completely understand AND that means you need the business opportunity, (like, yesterday). BUT if you can afford soft drinks, alcohol, Starbucks, energy drinks and/or junk food, you CAN afford Plexus.
That's not an issue of affordability-that's a PRIORITY issue.
Your health should not be an afterthought.

Yeah, man, if you can afford coffee you can totally afford this worthless placebo. BUY MY WORTHLESS PLACEBO OR YOU HATE JESUS AND MURICA!

Don't you need to invest a lot upfront in these MLM scams? If I can't afford a coffee, how can I afford that?

It doesn't matter if you can afford Plexus business opportunities, if it's a PRIORITY

You can't afford NOT to pay for this business opportunity

Thanks for sharing.

How many friends do you have tho? More than 18?
