I am dying of laughter. My friend who has to be on trend with everything is having a “surprise” drive by birthday party for her 40th. It was her request. Her DH sent the invites but she made them. I suppose this will be a huge social media post. I don’t understand why an adult would request this yet claim it is a surprise. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Op- I find it funny and sad at the same time. There is always some new trend she is following. When Barre was all of the rage, guess who was taking pics at the studio and posting with a hashtag. She has daughters and after Kobe Bryant’s death everything became #girldad. She insists that she would never want a son and her husband agrees. The husband agrees a lot with her because she’s just too strong with her opinion and very argumentative. Recently everyone’s been taking porch pictures during the quarantine and post them to social media and guess who jumped on the bandwagon. She has the type of personality that she is always right and has to be on trend so it’s interesting to sit back and just watch the show. Deep down there are other issues like insecurity or possibly narcissism. [ Reply | More

You have posted before, your obsession with this woman needs to stop, let people live whatever life they want; cutting down other women just because you have insecurities is not a good thing, please check yourself [ Reply | More

In your words... Your obsession with people posting more than once has to stop. Let people post what they want. Pointing out double posts just because you are on Urban Baby too much is not a good thing. Please step away from UB. [ Reply | More

I'm picturing the posts: she's "surprised" that her FABULOUS DH ("love that man") put together this lovely tribute for her 40th. She'll be dressed on-trend with full make-up, styled hair, and nails for her surprise. Maybe a special birthday party mask. Lots of heart emojis and #blessed. Plus pictures of a large piece of expensive jewelry that DH 'just had to get me'. [ Reply | More

I have done both adult and kid birthdays and at first I thought it was ridiculous. Honestly, when we were not leaving our house, it was nice to see people. I have even teared up when my friend’s elderly parents drove by and my friend cried. I completely did a 180 on this topic. My son’s teacher drove by and left flowers for all the moms on Friday before mother’s day and donuts on donut day. These small gestures made us feel connected. [ Reply | More

Nothing I would ever do, but you don’t sound like a very empathetic person. Many people are struggling with the isolation. At least she’s not inviting 50 people to her house because she has to be celebrated in person. [ Reply | More
