Probably been said but putting your new born baby and kids all over social media.
I absolutely hate those pics with babies holding a 'one month old' card and then a 'two month old' card.
Also gender reveal parties and engagement photo shoots.

Those tight headbands on tiny little babies. So tacky and pointless

Oh and 'influencers' aka people posting on social media. It's so cringe. Especially those influences who all seem to have an issue with one of their legs

Might have been said already, but it makes me cringe how anything marketed towards pregnant women such as clothing, exercise, products etc is always with that wholesome earth mum image. Like all the pregnant models are natural looking with flowy hair and minimal makeup and downright bland. Why is it that pregnant women suddenly have to lose their identity when they get a bump and have to embrace all things mumsy and pastel coloured?!

I completely agree. Also from a security point of view, that’s a lot of personal information you’re just sharing there! They also usually tag themselves at the hospital too... aren’t the top security questions a)dob b) middle names c) town you were born in? People are just too keen for the validation; they can’t help themselves but post!!!

Totally. People usually use their Dob or their kids’ Dob as part of their password combinations.

Going to upset people but...Baby showers. No exceptions. Get your own tit for your own baby. Such an obnoxious concept from across the pond. I have been to a LOT of baby showers and only 2 were remotely enjoyable. Generally they awkward day time non boozy affairs. Invariably the mum to be wears white or some floral arrangement in their hair like some pure maiden. And I could never go to meet a new baby without taking a gift so I’ve therefore had to get 2 gifts.

Then when people have the nerve to have another shower for their 2nd baby. That’s seen as poor etiquette even in the states. Room 101 for this nonsense. The flower walls and the props my god why do people do it, it’s so cringe

This might annoy people. People who state their childrens names and dates of births in their instagram bio, sometimes alongside the date they got engaged or married. Its always women, I've never (I think it definitely is never) seen a guy do this.

Where has the baby shower phenomenon come from? I feel like it definitely wasn't a thing, or at least not as prevalent, about 10 years ago.

Going on trips as well and calling them "babymoons" - like hotels sell babymoon packages now. Seems like a good idea going away for a last trip before your baby is born to relax and spend time together but why the labelling? I blame capitalism.

Women seeking external validation. :rolleyes: I have seen people setting up public Instagram profile for their kids. Like wtf?

also apparently having someone's full DOB / location of birth is something that can be used for identity theft and taking out loans etc in someone's name. I cannot remember who told me this but it made me take my full bday off facebook immediately!

when buskers look at you directly midway through a song, sometimes they throw in a wink. Makes me so nervous, I don't know what they want me to do with this eye contact?! I wrote this because it just happened to me approximately 2 mins ago on the metro 🙃
