On social media are driving me fucking nuts! I feel like I want to delete them all because I don't want to be associated by losers who live vicariously through their toddlers when they fish for likes, I never like their kids pics nor do I ever vote for their kids when they ask me to. For fucks sakes what are they thinking?!

What are the kids going to think when they are all adults and there's 1000s of embarrassing photos of them on the internet! If I had a kid I'd only take polaroids and put them in a album and put it the fuck away until they are older and then we will have a sit down and go through it.

Seriously though sometimes I want to scream because I want to tell them how lonely they are and how their lives are over and how insignificant their impact on society and social media is and that their best friend is now a child.

Oh lord I need to breathe

Wow you sound very miserable. Mom must not of loved you huh?

I have 2 kids, but I only post pictures of them every now and again. They are 12 and 6 so they don't like taking pictures anyways lol. So other people posting pictures of the kids they are proud of do not bother me. What bothers me most is the people who post images about sex every 5 minutes. Maybe if they stayed off social media they could actually get it in real life lol. But kiddy pics are no bother to me.

It also gets on my nerves, especially because of all the fakeness it brings about.

Someone I know posted a picture of a two year old grandchild. Gazillions of "beautiful!" and "adorable!" ensued. Thing is, the child is ugly as hell and looks like she was born without a brain. Bring me a bucket!

And I am supposed to like that?! How does that work? Because it sure looks to me like you are literally asking friends to lie to you (!) so that you can keep lying to yourself (!!), all the while being aware you are being lied to while believing all the lies (!!!).

The real reasons you chose to post pictures of the little freak:

- You are secretly ashamed of the little bastard, and you rely on FB friends (read: mostly strangers and slight acquaintances) to distort your honest view into something positive.

- You have succeeded in brainwashing yourself into thinking your child is pretty and you haughtily expect FB friends (same strangers and slight acquaintances) to brainwash themselves too (as if) thereby scrubbing your brain so you don't have to keep scrubbing it for yourself.

- You hate the little eyesore but you want people to think you are an awesome parent and a good person, so you post the pic and interpret every like as a testament to what a great person you are for loving the kid despite everything.

- You use your ugly child to boost your self-esteem because you know the uglier the child, the more sympathy (read: pity) it will get you, thus more likes. I get suspicious when I see crappy out of focus pics. If you truly were proud of the kid, you would try to manage better pics.

Either way, that kid did not agree for their picture to be out there for the whole world to see (and perhaps jack off to), so you are selfish.

To the people who say they post pics of their progeny because they are proud, sorry but you are deluding yourself. A parent who loves their kid and is proud can easily manage the sentiment without the approval of strangers. Such parents need to know that it is the other way around. You don't post pics because you are proud – you are proud because you post pictures. Test it: ask yourself how you would feel about your child if you posted a pic of them and none of your 200 so-called friends liked it.

Personally, when I have Rugrats, I won't post them publicly. I will definitely take tons of photos and videos, but most will be for their uncles, aunties, grandparents, and posterity. I believe in the evil eye, so...

As for everyone else, seeing them be happy on my Instagram makes me smile. Sometimes,I just scroll past, other times, I linger and think about how time flies.

But you have a right to rant, lol, so do you.

It doesn't make no sense to take his words so personally. If you only post "every now and again," the OPs words don't apply to you. In fact, if you posted every hour, the OPs words STILL wouldn't apply to you because you're not on the OPs feed. Talking about how much someone was loved by his or her parents because their DXPnet post somehow struck a nerve in your world is both corny and nonsensical and gross.

Couldn't you just "unfollow" them. I do this all the time on Facebook because I'm not interested in that stuff either. When you "unfollow" someone you remain friends but don't see all their stuff on your homepage. It's a lifesaver. Well, a friendsaver.

In some peoples lives their world consists of family members, especially kids. Its a mental effect that most parents experience where the child becomes more important then them. It's pretty natural especially in woman, for the motherly instinct is all about the child in not just humans, but many mammals. Therefor the kid becomes the main focus.or the most part. In their eyes and world its not just them, but their family too.

It's not a problem to post pictures exactly but it's creepy because people can steal your kids pictures and that's my issue with it..
This is my view as well. It's ok to post 1 or 2 photos but some people go overboard and post every aspect of their children, even in a state of undress. Paedophiles don't even have to ask kids to pose for them anymore - they just steal from people's FB.

If he didn't strike a nerve with you, then why did you get personal? Are you at all aware of yourself? It's clear by how low you stooped that you were trying to lash out at him. Your words definitely did get on my nerves, and I think I was pretty obvious about that when I addressed you.

I stopped using FB. I deleted almost everyone and changed my name and pic to a cartoon character so people can't find me.

I left close friends and family only. There was too much drama.

The kids photos didn't annoy me but the selfie of the day sure did. There were a couple girls that posted a dozen selfies every single day. They weren't from vacation or something of significance, just a selfie from the car or bathroom mirror in case we forgot what they looked like.

I'm more annoyed by pictures of people's dinner. Who gives a shit? 😆 But I don't block people for that either. Whatever. You enjoy showing off your dinner. Woohoo, dinner!

Maybe some of you just need to trim your Facebook friends lists. I only have "friends" I know in person or have some other tangible connection to, so I give a damn about their kids. My friends are also mostly responsible and lock down their photos for "friends-only" viewing. Sure, they could get out, but this is the digital age. The NSA is already looking at your kids...and your boobies.

Or the double whammy....the check in-accompianed by the food pic

Jen is at home sweet home-cooking spaghetti (insert pic)

Jen is at Applebee's -eating a burger (insert pic)

Jen is at Dunkin Donuts-getting my coffee on (insert pic)

Jen is BBQing (insert pic of raw meat on the grill that looks anything but appetizing)

You know what else is really stupid and annoying? People who use snapchat filters as their seflies. Retarded ass dog ears, whatever the fuck it is. I know I'M fucking sick of seeing that stupid shit all over the place. How many selfies and makeup pics do you post of yourself?

Given what I'm seeing in your profile pics, I highly doubt you have any place to be calling people out on their kid pics when you've got selfies up the ass of moronic snapchat filters that are used by a population where the average IQ is barely 100.

I know some parents get overkill with pics and yes, that is annoying. I also have an issue with parents and their tmi of their kids, such as "look, baby's first diaper!" and the mess of baby wipes and all that garbage. People overshare and it's stupid as shit to overshare your kids' pics on social media.

Keep in mind, not all families are together or near eachother, so Facebook serves as a way to keep in touch, share, and communicate with these family members. Believe it or not, you are not the only person in their world that they consider. As others have said, if you're going to be this stupid fuck, vapid, stereotypical gay dude who thinks "breeders" are gross with their children, then either unfollow/unfriend them, or get your shallow ass off of social media and stick to retarded fuck snapchat. The latter sounds like it would be more fitting of your intellect.

I'm not a huge fan of the overkill of kid pics, but this post of yours is fucking moronic.

I'm cracking up because some of you would hate my FB life. Working in a children's hospital, tons of friends from it all with kids. Being apart of hospital fundraising on Facebook. It's babies and kids all over. Millions of happy, smiling pics. Millions of not so happy, pray for us pics. Haha after reading some of the responses in here, you'd want to gauge your own eyeballs out with a pencil which doesn't seem like such a bad idea.


I would much rather see children than someone's fecking dinner or duck mouthed selfies ... Gross

This is a big reason why I deactivated my Facebook and changed my Instagram accounts. People and their ugly fuck selfies. Have you ever noticed that the people who flood with selfies aren't that attractive anyway? I had a chick in my feed whose face reminded me of one of the fucking seven dwarfs. It's like you poor bitch, I know you can't help it, but shoving your selfies in my face every day, masquerading as an "inspirational" quote is lol. Your face doesn't inspire me. Gtfo.

Selfies combined with just... all the bs, and some drama. I usually dropped those individuals pretty fast.

BTW I found the unfollow button on friends profiles, having a good time cleaning out my newsfeed

You want to post photos of your kids go ahead, it's not my problem anymore

But for argument sake I still think it's stupid how people's children become their life in western culture, everything is focussed on the child, they grow up with parents obsessed with social media, parents with weak character like this will get their kids phones and tablets and pass their bullshit onto them.....Parents like these are breeders of shitty kids with bad social skills.

No my family house has never once ever hanged family photos on the walls, only one of my dead brother in the living room.

We have a treasure chest full of photos and my mum keeps newspaper articles of us in papers and magazines.

My mum had better things to do than idolise her kids and be their best friend, she had a career and worked her ass off and still managed to have her own life.



I was being facetious about dragging mothers out into the metaphorical square of dxp, I thought the image was funny at the time

I have a friend who is a photographer. At first she posted lots and lots of photos of her kids and didn't lock them down. One day she randomly found that there was this weird site, hosted in Brazil, of all places, where people used pictures of real children from the internet as their avatars and had baby conversations with each other. Her toddler was an avatar. I think she somehow got that pic pulled. Anyway, she's much more careful about posting now because of it. The thing is, if you participate in social media at all, your kids photos are probably out there. I guess it just depends on how much it bothers you to think their image could be "out there."

I kind of feel like the fact that everyone's pictures are so ubiquitous makes them less important.
People are so, SO stupid on the internet anymore. I've always been cautious because I started my internetting when it was just getting started and it was just common sense to practice caution, because, internet.

Now, people have been raised on it and think nothing of oversharing and putting pics of themselves all over the place, like brainless morons. When you do exercise caution, you get called paranoid or people accuse you of having something to hide. The reality is that they're fricken idiots if that's what they have to say about it. "WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A PIC?? YOU'RE HIDING SOMETHING!!!"

Yeah, I am. From all the fucking freaks that exist out there. Jebus.

But I've found that the people who say this stupid shit are either delusional or never have had experience with some creeper shit on the internets.

So you're projecting your dysfunction on to the rest of the world, who is basically doing the "normal" thing in regard to their kids.

There's a big difference between child worship/"me worship because I popped out a crotch dropping," and sharing pics.

Tbh, I'd say it's a case by case basis, as it's been pointed out some people do all this sharing so family can keep tabs on eachother.

People can still be into their children and still have a life of their own, you know.
