1) I posted a comment on a photo regarding the cleanliness of the floor and stools in the picture, which was meant as a laughable observation from a mom of three to a grandma who doesn't have kids at home. The responsive comment was somewhat of an offended one, asking why I didn't see the cute grandchild in the photo? I just thought that went without saying, but now I just feel dumb. I hate Facebook.
2) I read a repeatedly-shared article about moment-to-moment mothering. I like the concept, and it was a good reminder. I fail to "respond" so often, and rather "react". I suck at mothering. Why didn't I write that article? I feel guilty. I hate Facebook.

3) I read a letter to a future daughter-in-law. Wow - that mom is so Godly for thinking of all these things, praying all these things! I am so far from that. God must think I'm so terrible. I feel like the worst mom, the least Godly mom. I hate Facebook.

4) I see photos of women doing Mud Hero marathon. Way to go, you did awesome. I don't run. I don't do a specific type of exercise program at all. I just sat in a car and tried to explain to my niece last night why the condition of our heart is so much more important than our bodies. But those moms did Mud Hero, and I didn't. I don't look like that in short-shorts. I should be more fit and toned. I feel yucky about myself. I hate Facebook.
5) I read an article on GMO's and this one makes sense to me. (http://agriculturetodayblog.com/2014/02/22/gmos-vaccines-and-social-media-what-is-our-responsibility-3/) I feel good about what this is saying. I like how someone out there sees that there is more to a story than just the stories put out there in Facebook land that make us all think we are killing our kids if they eat weiners and bread. I feel happy that I don't buy into that. Or do I? Have I been buying into it almost without knowing? I think I have! Wow, I just really hate Facebook.
Why do I still even bother?
