It is a friend of mine's child's birthday today. Super...Happy Birthday little girl. But she is blowing up Facebook with pictures of this child. She's a cute kid and I have nothing against her but dammit man! STOP WITH THE PICTURES! I have seen at least 10 and a collage that her mom made and posted. I am going to have to unfriend her. LOL Of course she has nothing on my other friend who just had her baby. If I have seen one picture of that newborn I have seen 15000000 of her. Why do people do that? I understand being proud of your sex trophy but damn!

Do you have any kids? You don't really "get it" until you do. (And btw calling a kid a "sex trophy" is one of the more disgusting things I've heard). A lot of people have relatives on fb that may not get to see the kid much or ever, so those pictures are usually for them and not about you. The unfollow or unfriend button is your friend.

Just a rant don't get your panties in a wad. I don't mind seeing pictures of kids/family/pets whatever but 100 at a time is a bit obsessive.
And sex trophy is a phrase I picked up on this site.

Agree with this. (I also don't like that dig about a "sex trophy".) You can unfollow her in your newsfeed if it bugs you that much.

Then hide them. No harm, no foul. I love seeing the photos and videos of my friends. I have friends and family who live seeing mine (and I post all my pics there). The people who don't enjoy can simply unfollow me.

I post pics of my kids, but they are primarily for out of state family. I think you can unfollow this friend but not delete her, that way you don't have to see her kid on your feed but also not offend her.

I think her kid is 7 today...maybe. So she posting pictures of her since the day she was born until now. But she also made a collage of all those picture and posted it too. It's just over kill.

I LOVE the term "sex trophy". It's certainly more positive than "crotch dropping".

Although my SS truly is a crotch dropping. He's so full of shit that it's hard to believe that he was not fecal waste.

I know a lot of people who don't like seeing a gazillion pics of someone's kid. As much as I love my bios, when it comes to their b-days I really do try to take those people into consideration..so I do the same thing every year, make a 2-picture collage that consists of their newborn pic on one side and their most recent pic on the other, with a little "speech" about the day they were born and that I love them and wish them a happy b-day. To me, that's enough to get the point across without my friends having to see 93548095803 pictures of my kids. lol..plus, I know it's dangerous to post too many pictures online, so I keep it to a minimum, and usually delete the pictures after a short amount of time Smile

Saying Happy Birthday and a couple of pictures...sure no problem! I understand that but the 150000000 other pictures. Too much...Stop!

Whoops. Today is my daughters Bday and I admit, I posted a few on instagram. I just want to make her feel special. It's HER day. Smile

Lol no need to whoops! Instagram is different. Well for me anyway. That's stuff I choose to look at. And pictures of cakes and parties I like.

If she wasn't ON instagram, I wouldn't do even that much. I do it for her. She isn't old enough for FB, and I don't do FB. But if I did, posting birthday stuff about someone that isn't even on that media site, is kinda silly to me. But... to each their own. Wink

You do know that you can unfollow on Facebook workout unfriendly, right? You simply go to their page, click on the arrow in the "Following" box at the top, and then click unfollow. They will stay formed, you can go to their page, but their stuff won't show in your feed.

And FTR, I also find the term "sex trophy"to be offensive.

I have noticed this as well. I like seeing pictures of your new baby but NOT every time she/he moves.

My pet peeve is when all people post are their kids. I find it pathetic. Their WHOLE life is living thru their kids. Adults that don't have a life of their own really need help. Its unhealthy.

I forgot about the unfollow. Going to do this with the ones that make me throw up a little.

I am proud as hell of my two SEX Trophies....but I do have a life out side of them. And I will admit - the sex was good that made my little sex trophies. }:)

Wow, I agree sex trophy is funny...I can see getting offended by crotch dropping (although, personally, I think notasm makes an excellent case for it to be considered a valid term). Perhaps referring to children as "procreation prizes" would be better? }:)
