We use Facebook differently as we age. Many millennials posted 100+ pictures of a singular night in the club in 2009, yet they are doing nothing of the sort today. You can't be an online party girl forever, and often, the craziest of partiers become the most wholesome parents around. Their Facebook accounts reflect that. 

There is considerable value in posting adorable photos of your family online. Every day, your Facebook reminds you of what you posted on that day X amount of years ago, and it's wild to see the time go by so simultaneously slowly and quickly. I can't believe the things I did 8 years ago were only 8 years ago. And yet, 8 years is a long time to me. With the passage of time, you might come to regret some of the crazier stuff you posted on Facebook, but at least you can see how much you've grown.

  • There's no way of knowing the kinds of things the following parents posted back in 2011. The things they're posting now are far crazier than any night partying in college. There is a reason why many mom group posts are anonymous: they are not proud of the things they're asking.

    No one has ever complained about bringing your toddler to the restroom with you because of his gender.

    I bring my son in the women's bathroom with me, and no I don't care how that makes you feel. As a mother it's my job to make sure he's safe, especially when we're out in public. I don't know what type of people may be in the men's bathroom, I can't trust that my son won't get hurt being in there on his own. I have no way of knowing if his privacy is being respected. So until he's old enough to ensure his privacy and safety. I will gladly take him into the women's bathroom. @jordannalamb

    Hey moms! What deodorant are we starting our boys off on? My son is 7 and I think its getting to be time for him with all this heat! ✓ Like Comment Most relevant く Anonymous member 376 You change his diet. That smell is toxins. I'm 36 and don't use deodorant. 7 is too young in my opinion they should only need soap and water. I use Dr. Bronners peppermint soap for our soap. My kid is turning 7 soon & he never has a smell because he doesn't eat junk. That stuff is toxic. 27m Haha Reply 4

    9:49- ⚫ Follow 25 I made my own formula for my child when I couldn't produce enough anymore. Super easy. You have a milk, (I used goat milk) multi vitamin liquid, molasses, coconut oil, olive oil, water... My daughter loved it and hit all her milestones and is stronger than her older sister and is now almost 10. Doctors were consulted, don't worry. Disclaimer because people are freaking out at the above: consult your doctor or medical professional such as a naturopath or herbalist for exact amou

    Hello beautiful people! My son is only 27 months but he's pretty advanced for his age physically and intellectually. I really want to get him started with healthy routines such as working out,.eating right, etc. Are there any gym classes for kids in his age group that are actual gym classes and not just running around and playing? We tried The Little gym which was fun but it wasn't exactly focused physically fittness. Thank you! Like Comment Send Share Most relevant く

    I have a 5 year old whose been having a tough time this last year. He's pretty much been to every daycare and after school program here in Pflugerville. He gets over stimulated around ALOT of kids and his behavior is mostly attention seeking when he's around a lot of kids, so he tends to hit a lot. He lasts a few days at daycare but ends up kicked out. It seems like no one here has the time and resources to help him. We'd love a nanny for him this summer but i can't fathom paying $20 an hour to

    Is there such thing as scared straight or military school for a 4yo?! I genuinely don't know what to do with my 4yo. She is so feral I'm at my wits end. She swears, hits people, steals and does whatever she wants. Nothing scares her. I've tried everything and she just brushes it off. I'm exhausted and i honestly want nothing to do with her and that breaks my heart. I need help!! 1 4 comments Like Comment Send Share

    Watch out, "He!!" is a bad word and might ruin the kids!

    Heads up, if you haven't gone to see Stitch. We are a non cussing household. And our son is in that imitation phase with what he hears... but it has a scene where someone says "what the He!!" Just bluntly stops all other sounds and the actor says it plain as day.. and what do you know my kid imitated it right then. I know it's not a "bad" word. And I probably am over reacting. But I was upset for sure. Just wanting to let others know if your kids don't hear that type of stuff. Like Comment Send

    I saw the commercial for it and couldn't believe that it is in a kids movie. Why on earth are these "kids movies" allowing words like this and other things. Soo many shows being advertised to kids but shouldn't be for children to watch. 2h Like Reply Author 11b there is also an adult humor scene. Thankfully kids shouldn't catch onto it. But me and my husband looked at each other. And the actor even portrays she's notices it was a weird thing. But yeah. So shocked what things pass these days! 2h

    I just don't understand why they need to say it at all, for a kids movie you would think just a basic no bad words rule would be standard. He could have said heck. I heard the movie was awesome and I want to see it and I have teenagers who I'm sure say way worse but it always bothers me when kids movies curse or make adult sual jokes etc. I may be reading too much into it but I actually think it's creepy the way kids movies sneak in adult content, even if it's just a single word. Very weird in m

    Casually body shaming your 14 year old is WILD

    < Anonymous member • 2m My 14-year old daughter is overweight. She has been begging me for weeks to wear crop tops, but she does NOT have the body type to pull it off. When she asks if she can wear them, I just say "No", but she keeps asking why. Do I even dare broaching the subject? ✓ Like 2 Comment ✓ Copy

    should why you do her like that? I think you Focus more on body positivity. She can wear what she feels good in. Who's to say she doesn't feel bad in tshirts? | understand if you think it's too mature for her age but straight up because she "doesn't have the body for it" that's f up 69 1m Like Reply ed 2 b Body shaming your child is next level cruel. Just now Like Reply You are going to be the reason she becomes self conscious. Smh if she is comfortable with her body why would you make her quest
