I'm sure it's been said before but when YouTubers in their make up tutorials say "now I'm going to go in with the blusher, now I'm going to go in with the eyeliner" etc
Makes me want to go in with a slap

Performative parentingNot even a week in the summer holidays but I’m so sick of seeing people’s kids with a massive paragraph about how loved they are.
You’re their parents you’re supposed to love them.
Stole the words out of my mouth lol. It always feels like they are making it about them lolTo follow on from this… when people announce an engagement or pregnancy online and someone will always say “So glad the news is finally out there!” Or “Yay! Congratulations again!” Letting every other friend know that they are a *better* friend for knowing before the public announcement…
and realistically probably on social media more time than they are parentingPeople who post their gym routine for the week
10 x crunches
300 x squats
who gives a duck?

and "making memories" when half of it is clearly spent posing for photosPhotos of holidays with people saying their family are making “core memories” We’re not in a bloody Pixar film.
Omg yes, this is it! And reading this thread you realise how bizarre the whole thing has become. Someone here said it perfectly earlier about everything becoming some sort of moral lesson/learning and opportunity to go viral or brand yourself in a certain way. It’s really sad it’s come to this.Social media has just become a source of astonishment and discomfort at this stage.
It’s like seeing a video from influencers with the title “I travelled ALONE to the US age 19!!!” Or “house tour! my own house at 21!!!”Sick of seeing news articles on FB like 'I bought my own house at age 12 whilst running a business and going to school' whilst in reality it's all funded by the parents. Similarly 'I saved for my first house whilst working minimum wage at age 21' yeah whilst living at home with parents and paying any bills ofc you were able to save.
It's just annoying and puts so many people down. Like well done on being privileged enough to live rent-free with your parents at age 21, don't see how it's newsworthy in the slightest.
Have a neighbour who constantly posts those mum memes of 'doing it all by myself' etc etc.When people lie about things on social media, that you know are lies because you were there when it happened
I basically hate any posts on social media about children, it is becoming worse and worse, no one cares about your child's tantrum or first day at school, save it for the whatsapp group with people who careHave a neighbour who constantly posts those mum memes of 'doing it all by myself' etc etc.
She's had family and friends, as well as her husband helping her everyday since the baby was born. I don't understand the logic.
