For those who are frustrated with status updates from friends or family members about their children, take a look at the Tumblr site, 'STFU Parents.'
The STFU Parents blog designed specifically for Facebook updates from parents, the blogger accepts screen-captures completely anonymous and allows a chance for the contributor to rant about the parent's update. The site in no way actually attacks the skills of the parent, but rather mocks what they shared. The site owner states, "You used to be fun. Now you have a baby."
The STFU Parents Tumblr blog is funny and is the perfect way to let out your feelings of possible hostility (anonymous or not) towards those friends who update their parenting experiences via social media.
