Which means I answered most of my baby-related questions the old fashioned way: either at the library or at my doctor&#8217;s office. By the time numbers two and three rolled around I was set in my ways, so I never realized what kind of awful hell parenting forums can be.<\/p>\n<p>My sister recently had her first baby, and I&#8217;ve noticed a few of the parenting groups and pages that she follows online showing up in my Facebook news feed lately. Being the masochist that I am, I always take a peek and let me tell you, its schadenfreude city up in there. Below are some of the moms you&#8217;ll encounter if you ever subject yourself to these pages. You&#8217;ve been warned.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7.

She cannot be reasoned with and any and all conversations with her will dissolve unto pointless name calling and a heavy dose of ALL CAPS.
