I got myself banned from the Facebook mother's group for "bad behaviour". I hope they don't confiscate my baby.
I'd been thinking about leaving for ages anyway since they're a constant source of TAs with their squabbling about breast v formula, when to wean, whether or not to vaccinate. Yawn. Imagine if there was a dad's group that went on like that. I'm beyond TA'd that instead of leaving I've given a nipple nazi the satisfaction of booting me out 0 -

You should see some of the "mummy mods" on those Facebook pages. They'd give the gestapo a run for their money. I don't know how their partners put up with them.
Anyone with "baking and sparkling" as their occupation is best given a wide berth, I should have known 0 -

I think there's something about facebook groups that shows how toxic people can be.
I'm in a beginners art group and someone commented on the fact that work being posted is not beginners standard (it's definitely not) making it very intimidating for actual beginners and the majority are tutors touting for business (ok that was cheeky, but also true).
Well they were absolutely lynched for the comment....told to go off do the certs and diplomas in the topic ,put in the 20 yrs of work they had done ,and then maybe you won't feel intimidated.
.....ah here luv if you are formally educated with 20 yrs experience and still classifying yourself as a beginner...when do you gain intermediate status
But I wouldn't touch a mum and baby group....they would be horrified by my laziness life is too short 0 -

Sounds like there might be some member crossover!
They wouldn't mind your laziness once you tell them you "exclusively breastfeed". You could be an alcoholic, abusive, neglectful parent who drugs your child to sleep and leaves it in a playground swing for hours while you go off with the girls - once you "EBF" as they say, all else is forgiven. Urgh, TA these groups!0 -

My sister in law is part of a few different 'new mother' groups, and was the first in the family to have a kid so it was very much a new experience. Unfortunately, she is over in the UK and thus hasn't the hands-on assistance of her own mammy or family to help her.
Apparently the baby is a divil to feed, and she wants to try formula so she can get more sleep while Daddy can feed or whatever. But some of the toxic members of said groups are essentially bullying her, telling her that she simply can't approach it that way, to the point where she is completely at her wit's end with it all whenever she zoom calls.
It's amazing how women could give birth for millenia without such modern-day scrutiny. You wonder how their partner's put up with them: by manipulation, simple as.
Anyway, my TA: overheard a teenage girl in Tesco earlier, after looking at her phone, saying to her brother/BF whatever he is: 'Yeay, I am officially Covid free'. Which begs the question, why she was in the shop to begin with?0 -

They should be ashamed of themselves for making other mothers feel like that. I regret that I really let it get to me to, to the point that I got really depressed about "only" breastfeeding to eight months, when the purists were pushing for two years. There's so much more to being a mother but the dogma of the pro BF brigade is actually quite strong, but the problem is it's masqueraded as concern, encouragement etc. At one point I was told not to have emergency formula in the house in case I was "tempted" to take the easy way out, as if anything about keeping a newborn alive is easy
TA is there a Jurassic weapon in every company, that is completely useless but holds onto documents etc. and won't release them to others on request without a big hoo-ha to make themselves feel important?

Read an article on rte about walkers letting their dogs off lead and them chasing sheep, and the devastating effect that can have. One of the farmers interviewed said a sheep of his was heavily pregnant and had her leg broken in two places. Ok I know they're farmers and their sheep aren't pets, but what TAd me is he said the effects were "emotionally devastating" and then went on to say "she's only good for the factory now" - ok so by emotionally devastating you mean financially. Also I just feel really sorry for the sheep. I mean, I eat meat (not lamb though) so I don't want to be a hypocrite but just thinking about this particular sheep heavily pregnant and her leg broken and being sent off to slaughter 0
