11 Types of Facebook Moms You Know Too Well

1. The Opinion Extremist.

This mom feels the need to comment on anything and everything. New profile picture? Updated status? Photo with the opposite sex? She's all over it. Comments typically include capitalized words, a smiley face, and one or more exclamation points.


2. The Name Signer.

You'll never get confused with this Facebook Mom! Whether she's actually going through an identity crisis, or she just wants to make sure you know who's commenting, The Name Signer always has you in the know.

3. The Confused Mom.

This mom really deserves some recognition. She puts her heart into the whole social networking thing, but the execution always falls through. Whether or not she's willing to admit it, she's still very much perplexed by “the Facebook."

(There's a button for that)

Shout out to this Facebook Dad. Bless his heart.

4. The Self-Discloser.

Alright, Moms... we know the Facebook status bar asks you "What's on your mind?" but nobody really wants to know. You can count on "The Self-Discloser" for a full play-by-play of their less than satisfactory mashed potato experience at the local diner, or perhaps a detailed description of their child's most recent triumph. They've taken Facebook to be a digital diary, and they are taking us all along with them on their journey to self-discovery.

5. The Sappy Commenter.

You know those stereotypical grandmas who pinch your cheeks and say “Oh, I remember when you were just a baby!" This is the virtual version of that. There is something about updates of your life that makes them super nostalgic. And they don't hesitate to let you know.


6. The "Sharing-Is-Caring" Mom.

The only things moms like more than drinking wine and doing yoga is sharing things on Facebook. When Mark Zuckerberg created this infamous button, he had inevitably had moms in mind. Whether it's articles they find interesting, their children's photos, or a picture of a waterfall with a cliché quote that they saw on their newsfeed -- you name it, they've shared it.

7. The Like-Button Abuser.

The moms who like and comment on pictures that you didn't upload.

8. The Pet Lover.

There are two types of moms on Facebook: those who brag about their kids and those who brag about their animals. If it's not a status, it's a picture. If it's not a picture, it's a cover photo. The pet is undoubtedly the favorite child of the family.

9. The Abbreviation Enthusiast.

The moms that think using abbreviations is hip. These moms also probably use the word “hip." Evidently, they are unaware that these intensive abbreviations burned out when AIM did. Cmon, Mom… you g2g.

10. The Too-Close-For-Comfort Profile Picture Mom.

It was a sad day for humanity when moms discovered the selfie. A phenomenon best exhibited by visual aid.


Bonus points for all the Mom comments on the right.

11. The Unsolicited Check-In Delegator.

You never have to wonder where this Facebook Mom is. As much as we find it compelling to hear about someone's whereabouts at every point of every day, it may be slightly overkill. Over divulging at its finest.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
