People who post incessantly about their children on Facebook like their baby was the first baby to ever have babied are the worst, am I right? Not exactly, as we’ve found someone in Australia even worse than those people. Sure, it can be annoying when anyone overshares about anything on Facebook, but there are ways of dealing with that problem. Like hiding them from your feed! Or even unfriending them!
Instead, a woman named Jade Ruthven, a 33-year-old first time mother, received this scathing, anonymous letter from her “friends,” via the Daily Mail:
Jade,
I have got together with a few of the girls and we are SO OVER your running commentary of your life and every single thing Addy does. Look, we all have kids that we are besotted with — guess what — every parent thinks their kid is the best kid ever. But we don’t ram it down everyone else’s neck!!! She wears a new outfit — well take a photo and send it PRIVATELY to the person who gave it to her — not to everyone!!!! She crawls off the mat — we don’t care!!!!! She’s 6 months old — BIG DEAL!!!! Stop and think — if every mother posted that crap about their kid — I’m sure you’d get over it pretty quickly.
We can’t wait for you get back to work — maybe you won’t have time to Facebook quite so much.
Addy is gorgeous and we all love her, but our kids are great too.
I guess you are just pissing a lot of people off with your ‘Addy this and Addy that’ — we all thought it might ease off after the first month, but it hasn’t.
Not everyone is as interested as you are about what Addy does so give us all a break.
We’re doing this to let you know what people think.
When it comes to any form of bullying — and yes, this is exactly what this constitutes — it usually says way more about the bully than the victim. If this letter did indeed come from a group of women and not just one woman acting out, then Jade probably has a lot of friends with shovel-faced nightmare children.
