One of the scariest things about Mommy Facebook Groups is how much personal information people are willing to share on them. I'm convinced that so many of these moms never learned that creepy people can use what you post online stalkingly. Either that, or they don't think it will happen to them. It's one thing to share something vaguely identifying anonymously, but it's a whole different story when you're sharing details about your life and your child's life with a group of functional strangers with your full name and hometown attached. We need to get these women into a 2005 computer class about online stranger danger pronto!

I understand the appeal of sharing your life in a private Facebook group filled with other moms who get your situation. However, I draw the line at taking it way too far, and the moms that posted these Facebook posts did exactly that.

    Product - If you got an epidural or were induced in any way at any point you cannot speak for a natural birth or what the pain is like, because you did not have one. Do not say, "natural birth was so painful because my epidural failed," or, "I was induced and I couldn't do a natural birth because it hurt too bad and things went wrong so I had an emergency c section." 99.9% of unmedicated natural births don't "go wrong." They are not excruciatingly painful. And there aren't complications that tra

    Font - Y AT HOME MO JLUG UNE Anonymous member 32m. How do I make time out a thing? ● ●●● X My son is almost 18 months old and lately just absolutely does not listen. He used to do a great job but now not so much. Before anyone says anything about the way I parent or how he's only a year old and I shouldn't be hard on him. I'm not raising a child like what we have in todays world. Im old school and my child isn't going to be a sissy. Sorry to put it that way but like I said im old school and im n

    Font - For all you that shame the momma for this. Let me just tell youuuu My son will be 3 in 26 days. From a year old I have had strict boundaries and rules with his behaviors. I parent EXACTLY how the mom in the post does and yes there are a couple of spankings involved in his lifetime. Now, at almost 3, my son says please, thank you, yes ma'am, yes sir, shakes your hand when meeting you, has full eye contact during conversations. I NEVER repeat myself, he might have a 2 minute time out once a

    Font - So i dont agree with the sissy thing BUT i do spank my 1.5 year old time to time. They are definitely to young to quite understand time outs. But have patience. They are still only 18 months and are still learning. Unfortunately it takes more than on time for them to understand. Its repetitive (ALOT of repetitive nature) I just had a baby a month ago so I understand but our 18 months old are still learning and need our patience 19m Like Reply 8

    Font - Boy Moms a Maybe y'all will understand what I mean when I say this cause everyone looks at me crazy when I try to explain... I do not know why I was chosen to be a boy mom cause I am not for the boys! I have such a strong firm belief that men ain't sh*t. & what do boys grow into? Men. How am I suppose to teach my boys to be a good man when I know not a single male who is good and honest and caring besides God (& my boys). I'm not even tryna be rude but all men do is lie and try to get a s

    Font - 26m I am being forced to put my child into public school by her DNA dad. Apparently I have to take my child to a doctor once a year because of this, I think it is super stupid. Where is a easy-going doctor that doesn't care about if they actually see us or not, my child is always healthy and we are anti-vaccine in my household. My child literally hasn't seen a doctor in over three years and it was literally just to shut my mother up because my daughter had allergies because pollen was so

The sweetest kindest middle-aged worker lady, who didn't know a word of English, offered to help clean him up. I was so overwhelmed that I agreed, and she took him to the bathroom, cooed to him in Spanish lullabies, washed him down, washed his clothes and then dried them under the air dryer. I was able to

My stomach has been in knots about posting this because of the reactions we may get from a lot of people, but I truly feel in my heart that this will help us to tighten up and serve you better in this group!

    Font - drama or issues. : This will help us to cut the numbers drastically in the group and weed out a lot of members who do not use this group often. It will also help us be able to devote more time to helping the group. With it being a paid service, our obligations will be to help make sure it runs even smoother. This has been a full time job for years already. Taxes will be paid on this yearly, which is another reason for the decided amount. There will also be an extensive amount of bookkeepi

I changed my mind and would LOVE a second one, more to love and a best friend for my daughter. My husband is strictly against it in no uncertain terms. My girlfriend told me just stop the pill and do it, he won't say yes the more I ask the more he'll be against it. Stupidly I stopped the pill during a cy
