The "shares everything" Parent // Humour post.

11:00


1. Bowel habits
People don’t need to log onto instagram, tumblr and facebook and see “Bob pooped in the potty for the first time” and a lovely picture of a log filled potty!  It is not cute, be proud but don’t share.
2. Sick
People also don’t need to see your childs sick bug filled bucket all over the shot either, nor do they need to see you chundering with morning sickness. By all means update your status telling us you feel sick but photos are too far. You’re crossing a fine line.
3. Your bloody show.
People really, really do NOT need see a picture of your pad filled with your show. Tell us it’s here, if you really want too, but honestly we do not need to see it. Same goes for the time we saw someone asking for advice on if the amount of discharge in their pants was normal. PHOTO WAS NOT NECESSARY.
4. Genitals 
Yours or your littles. There are far too many dodgy people on the internet, do what our friends do and use a cat head to cover it or a star. Sharing cute bath time shots is lovely but you don’t know what creep is out there looking at it. 
5. Bragging
There is a fine line between being proud and having a “My kids better than yours contest" Every child develops at different rates, no child is the same. We don’t even know why we're explaining that to you all, but it seems some mum’s don’t know that. 
6. I’m a better parent because…
You may not start a sentence with this on a breastfeeding, co-sleeping, baby wearing, ect… debate, but you might as well have. We have come across far too many parents who think because they followed all the guidelines and baby books that they’re the worlds best parents. Just because the facts state ”breast is best" doesn’t mean it’s right for everyone and you’re a better or worse parent because you chose to do it or you chose not to. Being a parent is a hard job and as long as you’re not neglecting that child or abusing the child then you’re doing a bloody good job, no matter what style you choose and whether you follow the books or not. There’s a huge divide with parents, especially when it comes to breastfeeding and formula feeding. Just remember you don’t know everyones individual story and you shouldn’t judge them on their decisions.
This is just a little humour post, we mean no offence and just feel sometimes a little, lighthearted post is a nice change.
