This post isn’t to offend anyone but rather laugh at ourselves. 😉 I definitely fit in more than one group here.
Mommy groups has helped me gain new friends, new readers and given me tips for motherhood.
The truth is no one has it figured out and we all want to learn from each other.
My advice; ignore the judgemental mom, motivate the emotional mom and advise the first time mom.
Sometimes we need to be reassured that we doing the right thing and who better to ask than a mom herself? The internet is an amazing resource for moms if used correctly.
Hi, I’m Shan. I’m an entrepreneur and a sucker for good adventures. I was listed in Forbes Africa 30 under 30 2019 and just recently launched my start-up – MomSays.
I’m a mix of diy and silent observer hehe
Hehe I’m the silent observer most of the time but comment when I need to. Also number 18 and 31. 😛
I’m not really big into Facebook so I seldom post any photos and comment with my friends. I love chatting my friends in Facebook messenger in iPhone and good thing I don’t need to open my fb profile but not looking and reading their post. I think if i will check one of my friend I will stay whole day and done nothing at all.
Haha, this is so true! I’m not a mother yet, but I’m friends with quite a few people who are and see this a lot 🙂
Haha! So true and it drives me crazy. I can’t stand the know it alls.
I’m not a mom but I am in a few blogger Facebook groups and this list describes those people perfectly…HA!
These are hilarious and Oh, so true!! I am a foodie, so I love to share food recipes, but not all the time. And every once in a while, I’ll grab my popcorn and watch the drama unfold! lol
