T’is the night before Christmas, and I hope all of you are having a good holiday so far. If you can travel to your parent’s house, have Christmas Eve dinner, and celebrate the magical holiday without anyone fighting each other or having a Midwestern battle of passive aggression, you’re one of the lucky ones. If …

Merry Christmas, everybody! If I were you, I probably wouldn’t be spending the days leading up to Jesus’s birthday scrolling through humiliating posts from Facebook moms, but then again, I’m not you! Maybe you don’t celebrate Christmas, or you’ve already wrapped your presents! There’s only so much you can do to fill your time on …

I feel like one of the most significant contributing factors to the proliferation of wacky Facebook-driven conspiracy theories is boredom. People, especially parents whose kids are at school all day, get bored if they hang around the house with nothing to do, and their minds can wander in the most detrimental ways. If I had …

Helicopter parents are such an interesting breed and far more common than you’d think! I’m not talking about parents who want their kids to call them every day or share their location, although those are admittedly some markers of helicopter parents.

I wish there were more representation in mom groups for normal moms. It always seems like mom posters are at one of two extremes.

There is a specific kind of language that is popular in mommy Facebook groups that totally irks me. Maybe this is just the way that young moms talk these days, but it seems like every post includes the phrase «Hey mamas,» «Mamas, I need some advice,» or «This hurts my mama heart.» I understand that …

There’s something so powerful about being able to post anonymously.

You can ask inane questions to your favorite posters without revealing that …

We’re entering one of the most prolific times of the year for mommy Facebook group posting. You might think that August and September are the most chaotic months for clueless parents asking their local community, «When is the first day of school?» instead of checking their emails or googling it, but I’d disagree. Back to …

One of my favorite Mommy Facebook Groupisms is that food dye causes major personality changes in their kids. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not in the pockets of Big Red Dye or Big Blue Dye, and I’m sure it is super unhealthy. But when I see posts that say, «My child acts completely different after …

If one group of people dominates Facebook, it’s the moms. For at least the past ten years, Facebook has been a breeding ground for many things, but moms connecting with people from their past have got to be in the top 5 groups of users. I can’t imagine going from having no way to contact …
