My mother once very wisely said "The important thing new parents have to remember is that honestly, nobody cares. Maybe the grandparents. But other than that, people don't want to hear about it." And this is coming from a woman who had two children by choice and stayed home with us for years. My parents loved us very much, but fully recognized that nobody else outside of immediate family could really be expected to care. I wish more people could have this attitude today, so I wouldn't feel morally obligated to coo over babies I've never actually seen in real life.

When I update about my kid it is usually about something really weird or dippy he did, but that's fair because if I update about me it is usually about something really weird or dippy I did.

The only people who've dropped me are family, not friends. heh. #facebooksfivemostannoyingparen...

You don't even have to block people on Facebook. If they bore or annoy you, you can just hide their updates. Blocking is for severed relationships and stalkers. #facebooksfivemostannoyingparen...

@fattylumpkin: On the right side of the news feed, if you mouse-over someone's update, it'll give you a "hide" option. If you click that, it'll hide all of that person's posts. If it's an application update, you'll get a drop-down when you click the "hide" button so you can hide just the application updates or everything that person posts. This feature makes Facebook usable for me ;) #facebooksfivemostannoyingparen...

@JennaW: but all of the applications are produced by different companies, or they have different titles, so whereas it is very straightforward to block updates from Farmville or Mafia Wars, it's harder to block all of the "What Disney Princess/classic cocktail/whatever are you?" type things because you can't block them all--you can block Disney Princess, but classic cocktail will still get through.

My Facebook friends with kids are generally pretty okay.

I think updating several times a day everyday is the really annoying thing. Very few people have that much to say about themselves.

A lot of these parents on Facebook things including STFU Parents just seem bitchy to me. For every reasonable "Post about something other than your kid" or "Don't post photos of your kid on a toilet!" there's something like "How dare you go to a concert mother of a 2 year old, its just desperate!" or "How dare you post that you're psyched about her baby shower, obviously you're a materialistic bitch!" #facebooksfivemostannoyingparen...

In reply to "You'd Think These Parents And Their Colicky Offspring Had A Monopoly On The Crying Game."
I have a fb friend who has a whole album of "preggo pics", including pics of the positive pregnancy test, which she posted the day she found out. She updates the album every week with pictures of her from the front, left side, and right side, complete with commentary about how her body is changing and how she is dealing with the nausea, etc. She found out that the baby is a girl and she has announced the name of the baby and now refers to it in status updates. Examples: "Oooh I love feeling (Baby's name) kicking. Her profile picture is the ultrasound of the baby. The baby is due in late March.
I think it is a bit much, but I'm nosy and if she is ok with posting that much in a semi public forum, then it doesn't really matter to me. I also hide her status updates, so I don't have to see them every time I log in. #facebooksfivemostannoyingparen...

I'm just saying that I personally would feel uncomfortable posting that much info in full view of every person that I am "friends" with. I have other friends who didn't reveal that they were pregnant until after the baby arrived. People can do what they wish. #facebooksfivemostannoyingparen...

@jigglyball: Yeah, in a way, parents with older children are worse. I love reading the stories on CollegeHumor and MyParentsJoinedFacebook and it shocks me because my mom has a Facebook, but she never does any of that shit. It's like she and my dad are the only parents these days with any understanding of the child/parent divide, and that the stuff that we post on Facebook is sometimes for friends and not really for them. Perhaps it's because my mom's a teacher, though, so she has some insight into young people's lives that a lot of other adults don't, I guess. #facebooksfivemostannoyingparen...

I try to include both kid- and non-kid updates, just as I have both kid- and non-kid activities in my life. I know people who only ever post about their kids, and others who only ever post about their work or their pets or whatever else it is that absorbs them--I know one person who does nothing but go to shows and talk incessantly about them--and really, it's what it's for. I suppose it does give you insight into each person's particular narcissism, if you're sufficiently evolved for that to amuse you.

That said, I've had to hide people who talk about nothing but their pregnancies, which is just too painful for me right now, and I try not to get into politics there because I have friends across the spectrum and don't like arguments in my happy place. But too much of anything has the capacity to annoy/bore me to tears. It's the nature of the beast. #facebooksfivemostannoyingparen...

The most damning "type" on this list is # 3: The Cool Parent. They describe a parent who's still posting about concerts and parties and other non-parenty things in an effort to show that parenthood hasn't changed them. So apparently posting the same stuff you would have posted pre-baby is annoying, too. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. #facebooksfivemostannoyingparen...

@AmesAndAndel: Well, it's dangerously loud at metal concerts, secondhand smoke is not good for children, and house parties are full of drunk people who aren't going to be more careful because there's a baby around.

It's not bad because the baby might not share those tastes, it's bad because these things can harm your child. Developing ears, from what I understand, are a lot more sensitive, and overly loud noises can deafen or partially deafen a child. Secondhand smoke, well, we've all seen the PSAs, so I won't harp on that, and is there any house party in the US that doesn't involve either a fight, broken shit, people stampeding through the house, puking or really, really loud music?

The kid should be somewhere in which he or she is not in danger or being hurt. Within reason. I mean, obviously, there's risk in everything, but bringing your infant to a metal concert? That's just irresponsible. Parents are free to continue doing the things they did before, but they also need to use common sense. If that's looking at stuffed animals circling their head, then yes, that is what they should be doing.

@boxspelunker: I don't think children should go to heavy metal concerts or crazy insane house parties; I don't think most people who are at the age when they would have children go to these types of events either (unless you birth a baby while in high school...). Also, no house parties I go to consist of "fights, broken shit, people stampeding through the house, puking or really, really loud music," and smoking indoors is against the law (where I live). I think that bringing babies to coffee shops, certain concerts, most restaurants, and chill bars are fine. They are babies, I still say they won't know the difference, and as long as you're not disturbing other customers, who cares? I mean, what else are parents supposed to do? Spend all day staring at their kid staring at the stuffed animals?

@AmesAndAndel: I made no mention of coffee shops, restaurants or bars. I'm saying that if parents want to go to the places I listed, then they should find a babysitter or consider not going.

Lots of people have children while in their undergraduate careers, and I would say, at least where I am, that these activities are not uncommon pursuits of the 20-25 age range, and that part of being a parent is sacrifice. I have never suggested that parents shouldn't go out or "spend all day staring at their kid staring at the stuffed animals". I am suggesting that you think before dragging your infant along to various venues that may not be the most appropriate places for them.
