It’s always the people who share posts about not making poor kids feel bad at Xmas who go on to post mountains of presents and Xmas days out and whatever else is trendy with no sense of irony at allSome parents are running themselves ragged and spending waaaay over the odds to have perfect insta stories nowadays.
I’ve noticed this too, the worst offender for the humble mum written word content is also by far the worst offender for oversharing about her kids and sharing present hauls - like I’ve never seen anyone share a table full of easter eggs before her? Not remotely into psychology but I wonder what it is, is it an addiction to sharing content/personal branding or does she do the words to absolve her of guilt for the bragging, like why?It’s always the people who share posts about not making poor kids feel bad at Xmas who go on to post mountains of presents and Xmas days out and whatever else is trendy with no sense of irony at all
As comments have pointed out from.the grammar and words like struggle it is so clear thus is not from a child. Whenever I see these it reminds me of the scene in About a Boy where the character pretending to have a son as a single dad says his toddler came up to him hugged him and said "hang in their daddy" to the shock of the rest of the parentsWoman breaks down in tears over niece's poignant letter to Santa
Rather than listing all the new toys she wants this year, Emmie, eight, from the UK, confided in Santa that she was more concerned about how her family will cope amidst the cost of living crisis.www.dailymail.co.uk
Things like this. You just know the kids in these stories are not the ones really writing these notes and it's just incredibly suspicious that the parents always have to rush to social media rather than enjoy a nice family moment privately. It is absolute bollocks glurge of the worst kind. Who still falls for it?
My cousin posted this... Her son is autistic so I can see why she would. I get that these children do get left out, but I rarely see her, (or other parents of autistic kids posting about the good things about their children.) How amazing he is at drawing, a talent for computer programming, aptitude for maths. All I see is how he is being left out/let down by school/struggling with XYZ. I know these are important issues but I feel sad that he isn't being celebrated in the same way a NT child would be and wonder how he would feel knowing his struggles but not his achievements are being plastered all over Facebook.Why is this doing the rounds again? I’m not even sure it’s true. View attachment 1785097
I feel like the world is full of people like Marcuses Mum and Will right now and there’s no Marcus in the middleAs comments have pointed out from.the grammar and words like struggle it is so clear thus is not from a child.

Couldn't remember the names, glad someone got the referenceI feel like the world is full of people like Marcuses Mum and Will right now and there’s no Marcus in the middle
and the pretence of posting it to ask about charitiesSince when did kids start writing stuff like this? I'm sure there are some kind kids but we don't all need to hear about it.
And it's especially BS when 7 year olds has suddenly decided they want no toys...but the mum is wearing the latest fashion with regular lip fillers.
Bull shit.
I find it kinda weird an 11 year old would write a letter to father Christmas, is that not a bit old for itSince when did kids start writing stuff like this? I'm sure there are some kind kids but we don't all need to hear about it.

This is so annoying! Women have set the bar so low for men that the smallest things they do seems praise worthy.2 family related things, one women praising their male partners for doing the bare minimum, i.e. "thansk to this amazing partner for looking after the children while I am in hospital with covid", what on earth would you expect them to do as their father?! and also parents (usually it is women) describing their babies/young children as their "bestie". so weird
Stuff like this drives me mad on travel pages and forums but where the replies are just not helpful.When you ask a question and person one suggests the most obvious thing and the second person hasn't bothered to read your question
or even more ridiculous "I've never been, have a great time though"Stuff like this drives me mad on travel pages and forums but where the replies are just not helpful.
People will post 'Hi! We're going to Bangkok in May for part of our honeymoon. We so excited to visit the city. We already have it booked and paid for. Looking for some romantic restaurant recommendations'
The first answer will be - 'Don't go in May, go in November'. The second answer will be 'I wouldn't bother going to Bangkok at all tbh'
Yes. Thats the third!or even more ridiculous "I've never been, have a great time though"
Another thing that gets right up my hoop is when something major happens on a road/city etc. with police asking for info. And you get folk saying “omg I drove past there 5wks ago”. Well done Barbara. But the police were looking for witnesses, not a travel itineraryYes. Thats the third!
