Things I can't tell my Facebook friends.
To two of my cousins on Facebook:
Yes, I know you are new mothers. Yes, I know you're excited. Yes, your babies are beautiful and adorable.
No, I do not care if your baby hiccups; you do not need to post a video of it. No, you do not need to give everyone the details of your child's first bath. No, you do not need to post a new picture of your child everyday.
You should take pictures of your child; they'll enjoy looking at them years later. But what will they think at age 13 when they find their newborn photos floating around the Internet?
While I love babies and I'm very happy for you, the cuteness is wearing off. Now it's just narcissistic.
Sincerely,
Someone Who is Sick of Pushing the "Like" Button Already
