You know the feeling. You log onto Facebook for the first time in forever. You nervously scroll through your feed knowing that you are about to be swamped with posts from the one and only person who actually still uses Facebook: your mom.
Let’s use my mom as an example.
1. The “Classic Mom” Post:
Your mom has to make sure that her 43 Facebook friends know she’s #relatable.
2. The “I Clearly Love My Pets More Than I Love My Daughter” Posts:
Her ratio of posts about your pets versus posts about you is approximately five to one.
3. The “Mom Whatever You Do PLEASE Don’t Post That One” Post:
Your mom always chooses the ONE picture that you told her she’s not allowed to post. Always.
4. The “I Take These Quizzes Seriously” Post
Your mom doesn’t think twice about the fact that Facebook quizzes will probably give her computer a virus. She just needs answers.
5. The “How Many Likes Can I Get If I Roast My Daughter” Posts:
She sits and waits for you to storm into her room so she can laugh in your face.
6. The “How Many Likes Can I Get If I Roast My Husband” Posts:
She jeopardizes her marriage for double-digit likes.
7. The “Zen” Post
She tries to seem calm, cool and collected by sharing peaceful quotes. You know she’s bluffin’.
8. The “I Still Don’t Know How to Use Facebook Even Though I Post Every Day” Post
Mom, you tagged me in this post. I got a notification that says “Don’t tell Rachel Anton”.
9. The RARE “My Daughter Actually Likes Something I Posted” Post
Every once in awhile, she’s actually relatable.
10. The “Mama Knows Best” Post:
As much as you want to unfriend her sometimes, she’s always right.
