All but one of the groups I’ve joined have been the most toxic I’ve ever seen. Since having my LO in June, I’ve seen everything from women condemning other moms for formula feeding or vaccinating their children to genuine posts about them calling them out for their parenting style. I no longer feel comfortable in these circles.
In some places, all I see is a conversation about supporting one another, but on Facebook, it appears to be all negative. I really just wanted to rant, and perhaps advise expectant mothers to avoid them at all costs. Has anyone shared my experience? If not, can you recommend some decent ones?
I stay in my Facebook mom group for the DRAMA. Becky is out here posting about her husband cheating on her with the babysitter, losing his job and lying about it for months, being a mams boy at 35, and fighting to raise three hellions from various relationships while Becky is pregnant with their fourth! The mothers just say it all, and I scroooolllllllll
Ugh, I unintentionally discovered something horrific and traumatic about someone close to me in a parent group that she didn’t know I was also a member of, and I still haven’t told her years after that I know her secret.
That’s funny, lol. I almost joined a baby daddy drama group despite the fact that my daughter’s father and I are engaged and have a wonderful relationship. I too wanted to see the drama.
I’m in a group called Are We Dating the Same Man? Only for the purpose of seeing these blatant red flag males displayed. With cringe-worthy Tinder biographies, half-naked mirror selfies, douchebag facial hair, and women questioning, “Is this anyone’s man?” He’s in my DMs. Is he a red flag? GIRL: Yes, just look at him. TF!?
I’m honestly simply waiting for the day when my cousin shows up.
