LOL what a terrible argument.

I don't need a chronicle of my life on the internet now, why would that change if I have children?

You've never felt true love until you've held a fragile little placenta covered person in your arms, it changes the very fabric of your being.

Hopefully without getting into trouble for mentioning Crossfit I'm doing the Crossfit Open at the moment. I'm in the Masters(over 35s) division. I posted on Facebook how I had done in the comp last weekend which was good for me but nowhere near the best in Australia. I thought only my friends could see but had actually posted on the Masters page which has a few thousand members including the best in Australia.

Don't deny that. Still won't be starting a Dad-blog if and when that happens.

I know 20+ people with kids under 3. Less than 25% of them are Mummy bloggers. Correlation of 1 to the most painful, attention seeking 25%.

My ma has said the internet would have been a god send to her as a young mother. She had no parents or in laws in the country, and two under fifteen months old. You could have written books about what she didn't know as a parent, and to have a reference like that, and places to talk to others in her shoes would have really helped.

It's good and bad. Good for support, reassurance and ideas. Bad for fear mongering. Every few days my wife reads another "this everyday household item could KILL YOU AND YOUR BABY!" article and I have to reassure her that no, the wall hanging we bought 6 months ago probably isn't dripping with lead paint.

Waiting for the next big fad on Facebook.

I recently read an article about how Facebook was concerned people were sharing less. I'd expect them to be incorporating lots of new wiz bang features to get people to share more, if they haven't already. I haven't been paying that much attention. No doubt that would lead to more narcissistic posts. I guess that group chat thing is something new.

Interestingly this is the year that some experts have predicted the fall of Facebook. They seem to think it will act like an infectious disease. I'm not quite so sure as FB keeps evolving.

I don't yet see a replacement.

Last season I was active on FB for the first time as I was captain of my footy team and needed to help run the team's FB page - One guy in our team became a Dad for the first time last year - Without any exaggeration I'd be willing to bet that there would be more images of this 12 month old online than there is of me

This is the biggest mistake parents make. I have friends who do the same, I have friends who have a no photo policy, as do I. You run the risk of losing your most important and private moments in life. You also run the risk of leaving yourself open to personal attack.

Another golden rule on FB is don't post on pages.

I don't leave a trace of myself on pages, unless I'm tagged in a post.

I also rarely post on other peoples' photos and posts.

Something I've noticed, is that all the trolls on FB comments are well and truly locked down, they don't even show their face.

You can set it to restrict being tagged in other posts and photos.

I have everything locked down for friends only. And i secret block a lot of family im friends with because i was being polite but simply couldnt care less about their bird watching exploits.
