...is how it makes people revert back to elementary school values. It's fascinating.

My favorite argument here is, "If you don't like it, unfriend me or don't read it." Well no kidding. Thanks for that pearl of wisdom. Of course, I learned that lesson decades ago when my mom told me to ignore the girl picking on me.

Because here's the thing, those of us who find STFU Parents hilarious DO find your posts entertaining. But not because we actually care that your kid's diaper deposits are getting firmer by the day, because we are laughing at you.

Yes, it is extremely funny to me that people could be so insecure that they entirely define themselves by their children and on top of that feel the need to remind the world about it. And don't kid yourselves, that's what this is. There's a difference between posting about milestones and funny things here or there and constantly talking about how perfect your kid is.

Because he or she isn't perfect. And that's OK. There seems to be this climate in this new generation of parents that their kids can do no wrong. They can guys, and they do. This way of thinking is why the schools are failing. Because instead of getting on your kid when the teacher tells you he is disruptive or not trying hard enough, you blame the teacher. I'm glad your kid is finally walking, but when you are letting him slow everyone down in a crowded store or marveling while he runs wild in a restaurant, you are not doing your job as a parent.

And since it doesn't seem to be changing anytime soon, we may as well make the best of it and laugh at you. Please keep posting about potty training, please keep thinking that people actually give a damn about 20 nearly identical pictures of your kid sleeping.

Because it's funny to me, and I'm laughing at you.

I think a lot of people are failing to realize that Facebook has become the "PREGNANT AND PROUD" bulletin board instead of a social network. I for one am REALLY SICK of people posting photos of their stomachs, ultrasounds and newborns who look like raisins with eyes wrapped in crepes. It's not "cute" or "beautiful" when you know the person is barely 20-years old, a drunk, unmarried and the child wasn't planned or wanted (they like to call it a "surprise.") Pregnancy/children have become the new hip trend instead of an expression of the love/commitment two mature adults are supposed to have for each other. The STFUParents blog eases the blow of babies having babies and pokes fun. Why must everything satirical automatically be labeled as an "attack?" I call it a breath of fresh air.

Only retards inhabit facebook.

Some of the affronted parents on this board contend that the snark is about nice updates such as "OMG! McNevaeh'leigh just said her first word!" That is a milestone worth a shout-out. I'd even go so far as to suggest that the COMPLETION of toilet training is similarly major.

But this isn't what the snark is about. Nor is STFUParents ridiculing the posting of everyday minutiae like "Play date with Wingspan and Banjo this PM". Occasionally they do so when something is really bewildering, like the mom who posted literally dozens of identical-looking pix of her kid sitting in a chair. That gets you thinking about that mom. Is she under the impression that her pryncess can't take a bad picture and thus cannot deprive her audience of a single shot? Or can't she decide which one does her DNA justice?

STFUParents is devoted primarily to the ridicule of excessively intimate or explicit oversharing. In the adult world, detailed discussions (let alone photos) of what comes out of our bodies is generally considered a private matter. As would be picture of you, your newborn and the bloodstains on your fully visible pubic hair (available on STFUParents). We can disagree about where the line is, but can't we agree that THAT should be above the bikini line?

I commented that I love to find out what's going on with my friend's kids - but I draw the line at looking at photos of poo!

I disagree that STFU, Parents should keep its focus on pictures of poo and booger reports. I think honing in on the narcissistic tunnelvision of mommyhood, parenting, pregnancy, and labor is an excellent way to a) undo some of it, and b) crack me up.

Parenting is hard, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't laugh at it or take a giant step back and clear our heads.

The pitch-perfect, scathing tone of the editorial comments is always welcome in my RSS feed!

this is awesome. Kinda like lamebook.com

I'm sorry but this website is awesome. For those people who don't find it funny or find it insensitive, you really need to lighten up. I check this site 3 to 4 times a day!! I also go to STFU Marrieds website which I find funny as hell too. At least the people have a choice to go to this website if they want to or not. People who get facebook posts about their friends children bowel movements and boogers on the other hand are not given that choice. Sure, you can't please everyone but this site pleases me! : )

I find it amusing that so many of the comments here accuse the childfree as being immature drunks. I'm in my 30s and I don't know any childfree people who still party like 19-yr-olds. They simply don't buy into the notion that having a kid is the only way to prove you're a grown-up.

Loosen up, parents...some of you really do need to get over yourselves.

There's a reason I set my privacy settings on FB to only show status updates and photos to my friends, and that's so that the rest of the world doesn't see them. I don't like it when my friends share my FB info with people I actually know who aren't on FB, but usually they do it out of ignorance, not malice. If a friend sent one of my status updates--or photos--to some blog specifically so that lots of people I don't know will make fun of me, I would unfriend that person on FB, and in real life too, if possible.
