Talluluh Gets Ticked

Okay people, this mommy is ticked.  I've been steaming overnight about this a post from my friend's Facebook page that included this letter:

Every time I read it I just get exponentially madder.  I mean, really?  Social media is a double-edged sword.  But here's the beauty of it:  if you don't like it, hit the delete button.  Hide it from your feed.  Who takes time to type a letter and send it to someone just because they post about their child?  I'll tell you who.  Someone without kids.  Someone filled with bitterness and hate.  Someone who has NOTHING better to do.

Guess what? I love my kids.  More than anything.  Other moms know this.  If you don't have kids, you may not understand why we post pictures of them eating, sleeping, and wearing their underwear on their head and their shoes on their hands.  They are the very best thing we ever created, and we are damn proud.

And my friend who posts about her child?  She is HILARIOUS.  Seriously. Her posts make my day.  I cannot count the number of times I've laughed out loud.  Her blog link is over on your right, so if you don't believe me, check it out for yourself.  The "dopey" child is also my daughter's best friend.  She is a lovable, darling,  adorable, ham.

So if you sent this letter to my friend and I know you, know that I said a prayer for your pitiful soul last night.  If you agree with the notion that parents clog your newsfeed with posts about their children, delete me.  Because I will continue to post the stories, quotes, photos, and sentiments.  I will brag and brag and brag until I am blue in the face.  I grew a human for nine months.  I gave birth to two children.  And I live in America.  So I think that gives me every right and more to post as often as I want.  Plus, my kids are perfect and precious and everyone loves them.  And this little gal is precious and perfect as well.  She deserves to have her picture posted all over the place.  I just can't get enough Lil' Red!
