B．Gervaise says more and more mothers are using Facebook as a platform to boast about their lives, their kids, their parenting techniques. And that\her to log on without getting slapped in the face.

Who has time to clean up the giant mess?\says Meredith DePersia, a working mother of two in San Francisco. \I see these posts, I definitely feel like a lazy person.\

F．The great time-killer is now a massive ego-killer, and even a mommy-blogger with a huge following feels vulnerable. \a New York Times best-seller with Carry On, Warrior . \career, family, social life, house, etc., as soon as I log on to Facebook and peek into others\immediately feel that unease caused by comparison.\

G．This is turning many moms off. \

moms posting about how well their baby slept,\poor sleeper, and we spent so much of that first year utterly exhausted. So to be honest, when I would see a post gloating, \person for a while because it would irritate me.\from Falls Church, Va., is so tired of playing the game. \\

H．There is nothing in the Facebook rules that requires complete honesty and total disclosure, and it is human nature to portray the best version of one\vacation pictures to sharing perfectly posed first-day-of-school photos, all of us, not just morns, try to portray a problem-free, fun-filled, blissful life. And that can be pretty annoying if you\just spent the morning watching your 4-year-old repaint your kitchen walls with oatmeal (麦片粥).

I．\than my son could do, even though he is the same age,\panicked for a minute, but talked myself down. If someone is posting positive, cheerful, perfect things all the time, I always think: Nope. Not buying it. No one\

When you brag in a group, you notice when they wander away. When you brag on Facebook, it\ K．Dr. Saedi, author of the blog Millennial Media, thinks it\\the more that people try to prove how great it is, the more it\important for rooms on Facebook to take a step back, get some distance and reassess.\ L．Many feeling-smothered mothers don\deleted my Facebook account!\\—or able—to completely cut the Facebook umbilical cord (脐带). One morn decided she just needed to take control of her page, and silence the braggers and know-everythings. \year ago and only connect with people I\I\catch up on Facebook and be bad-tempered after, so I changed my profile to only let Facebook be what I want it to be.\

M．Even mommy-blogger Melton took a Facebook vacation. For 40 days, the 101,000 followers of her Momastery website waited patiently as she took a rest. It was during this break that she realized how unhappy Facebook made her at times. \said, \comparing myself to everyone else.\ N．\Remember, some college guys made it so that students could compare women to each other and decide who was hotter.\origin of Facebook is really annoying and offensive, when you think about it.
