lawdhavemercy.........you'd think all the moms on facebook were sending little johnny and suzy off to war on the other side of the world, based on all the look-at-me facebook posts this morning. I mean, I get it....the kids are growing up quick but I can't help but think a lot of this is just put on to hopefully get a bunch of attention and "you can do it!" responses from the other moms.

......women

Prime example, posted by a friend of a friend who I don't know, which I guess is how it popped up on my page....

"Ok y'all I seriously can't sleep the boys have been down since about 8:30 and then 9 but I'm up repacking the lunch I pack 2 days ago just to make sure it's just right I've laid out clothes and spend almost 30 mins and his whole closet is in the floor just to pick the right outfit.. Needless to say I'm stressing way to much! I'm not ready and he's too ready!! I got this I got this! [name redacted] you better meet me and us walk in together so when I cry you can hold my hand and when you cry I got u! Lol we can do this!"

Best one I saw today was some woman from Alabama sitting in the pool on a float with a drink in hand and 3 very disapproving kids with backpacks standing on the edge behind her. It's been shared 11,000 times and the way I saw it was my old PA program director from California shared it.

Joining Facebook was one of the worst decisions I ever made. Several times daily I consider deleting my account altogether.

Y'all wouldn't believe the stories from my wife, the second grade teacher about the parents that still have to walk their child into class every morning. They have had to have the principal tell some parents to stay away unless you come to the office for a reason. One particular parent's boo hooing had the child boo hooing every morning and this upset the whole class leaving my wife with a classful of crying kids to start her day. Once the parent was told no more, the child came into class happy as a lark every morning.

Gomer, I bet the same Mom was in the car line 2.5 - 3 hours before the bell rang for dismissal. Poor wittle Johnny or Susie couldn't be forced to wait a few minutes.........

yep, attention seeking helicopter parents...

Nailed it. What it's really about is this generation acting like they're the best parents that this world has ever seen. Crap, even this site isn't immune from it. It's in everything from the supermom Facebook posts, every dad is a dang baseball coach, every set of parents is at the ball fields 7 nights a week until midnight (I know, it's all they talk about on every social media site known to man), and every dad on here being pretty obnoxious when their kid kills a deer (ain't really any different than the moms and their kids going back to school). My dad didn't have a season-long bragfest when I killed deer, I don't remember him even telling me "good job"(?). I still love hunting and my dad today. We are a kid-crazed society, they are the greatest idol this generation knows. We act like we're the best damn parents since mankind was created, yet this world is more full of $hit@$$ brat snowflakes than ever before. I don't know how we turned out so well with our pitiful parents who were married to their jobs and never even came to a football game, much less every practice(sarcasm).

A blind man could pick out 7 day a week baseball dad. He's usually in his under armor workout gear with his straight bill hat on, shaved head and no hair on his legs or arms. Then there's baseball junior. He's usually dressed like dad but has the Justin Bieber hair do going on and is wearing these paracord necklace like the major leaguers wear. And don't forget baseball mom. Nine out of ten times she's pretty hot and knows it. With her yoga pants and tank top. And you look at her and wonder. What in the hell does she see in baseball dad? Is it because he's more high maintenance than she is? I don't know.

Ikill--What the hell does your tag line mean? (A little off the subject, I guess)

"I kill bucks"

Many, many years ago I saw a big jacked up Ford in Panama City, had a Tennessee "Ducks Unlimited" license plate that read "ikildux". I thought that was pretty clever, so I just changed it for deer hunting.

By the way, I tried to get an Alabama plate "ikilbux" and the State turned it down, said they will not put the word KILL (or other violent or offensive words) on a tag. True story. I have used it as a username on message boards, and it's my email address too.
