Yeah, she gave you life, but now she’ s on social and humiliating you one tweet / Facebook post / Insta at a time. Read on for hilarious tales from girls who wish their mothers were banned from the interwebs....
“ One day, I signed on to my Facebook and saw pictures of my ex and his new girlfriend at a Greek event on my timeline. I was confused because I had blocked them both. Then, I saw that it was my mother who had shared the photo. I called her immediately, freaking out, and asked why she posted that. She didn’ t even know what photo I was talking about and didn’ t know she had shared it. I was mortified.”— LILY P., 21

“ One day, I was on Facebook and I saw my mom commented, using the laughing emoji on a post about a friend’ s dog who died, and I thought, Surely that was a typo. A week or so later, I saw another post, also about a dead dog, and my mom commented again with the laughing emoji. So that’ s when I texted her and had to explain that it’ s a laughing emoji, not a sad, crying emoji.”— BROOKE C., 19
