aka freeranger

aka house with no rules

The usage of "mom's" first name was changed to "Girhippo" (names were changed to protect the not-so-innocent)

From SD19's instagram acct:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM / BESTFRIEND / SUPER WOMAN!! To the person who I look up to and inspire to be one day (insert heart emoji)  it's an understatement to say (Girhippo) is amazing. I really do wish everyone could have a Mom like mine because she gets it. She gets the struggle of being a young teen in this generation today, and "tells me to "kill'em with kindness" and use those special instincts God gave us".

She gets when im doing homework and randomly get frustrated bec I don't understand and tells me to "slow down, breath" and reminds me that I got this an helps me thru it. She gets it when i skip out on family dinners to go hang with friends for the fifth night in a row, and she tells me everytime "drive safe and have fun".

She gets it when I roll in at 5am from a long night at the club and asks me the next morning, "how wuz your night". She gets it when I dig thru her closet and make a mess when im about to go out and tells me "that shirt better come back". It's the little daily things that I'm thankful for my mama and makes her so special to me. (The Girhippo) created that beautiful family*** in those pictures and she gave me that happy smile ****. Your absolutely wonderful Mom and if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be who I am today****** so thank you and I love you. Happy birthday   (insert endless inane hashtags and emojis)

***quite homely

**** orthodonture 100% paid for by Chef (and me)

LOL. "Thank you my subpar mother for turning me into the ill-equipped, shallow person I am today."

Oof. All the eye rolls. I’d feel like I was failing my daughter if she wrote that to/about me on social media. I feel secondhand embarrassment for SD and BM, at the moment. What a hot mess.

I can't agree more! I never publically post about my love and appreciation for family members on social media, even for birthdays. I don't have IG, Twitter, etc. Just plain 'ol FB to keep up with family.

In fact, a local radio station's topic today was that married couples that constantly post about how "happy" they are, are in fact far from happy and maybe even on the brink of divorce.
