5----
6!! This blog provides examples of:
7
8* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Once these children grow up, they will be very embarassed when their friends see the things their parents wrote on the internet about them.
9* BabiesMakeEverythingBetter: Many of the parents have this mentality.
10* ButICantBePregnant: There was one woman who was talking about how there's no way she could be pregnant. A few days later, a status saying "I preg".
11* DaddyDNATest: There was one mother who was having a DNA testing party for the potential fathers of her child.
12* DisgustingPublicToilet: There was one where a mother was bathing her poo covered baby in a public toilet.
13* DotingParent: Most of the parents in this blog qualify, believing their children to be the most amazing things on the planet, to the point where they photograph their child's poo.
14* GagCensor
15* HandsOffParenting: Most parents on here let their children do whatever they want, with no rules or punishment for bad behaviour
16* HippieParents: Quite a few appear on here.
17* InsaneTrollLogic: What some parents use to justify themselves.
18* ItsAllAboutMe: Mommyjacking -- where someone replies to a friend's status, turning it about them, their pregnancy, or their children. Especially awful when the persons status is about having cancer or a relative dying.
19** Though it's no less infuriating when a woman posts about a major life achievement such as [[http://stfuparents.tumblr.com/post/1276744517/mommyjacking-hey-congrats-on-the-whole-doctor becoming a doctor]] or [[http://stfuparents.tumblr.com/post/59490967155/mommyjacking-the-childfree-life being the youngest person to earn a doctorate in neuroscience from Stanford University]] (at ''21''). Or just being married 4 years and earning a master's degree in the meantime. There's also one very [[SarcasmMode lovely]] post where one mommyjacker tells her Army friend that being a mother is more stressful than, you know, ''being in the goddamn Army.''
20* JerkAss: [[http://stfuparents.tumblr.com/post/4191584514/vocabulary-this-submission-is-short-and-sweet-or Several]] parents and children who appear on the blog.
21* LostMyAppetite: Most people do when reading something particularly disgusting, such as kids covered in poo, diaper explosions, and placentas.
22* MamaBear: Used by mothers as an excuse to justify the most [[JerkAss jerkish]] of behaviors.
23* MommasBoy: Some of the relationships between mothers and their sons featured here are rather creepy.
24* MorningSickness: Described in great detail of course.
25* MotherhoodIsSuperior: There are a lot of people featured in this blog who have these views.
26* MouthyKid: The one who called the teacher a bitch (and his mom was proud of him), and others.
27* MyBelovedSmother: Some parents seem to be ''way'' too overprotective of their children.
28* [[NeverMyFault Never My Child's Fault]]: The view most parents on the blog have towards their child(ren)'s transgressions.
29* NoSympathy: There's loads of mommyjackers/daddyjackers who offer no support or sympathy for childless friends who lose out on sleep.
30* RougeAnglesOfSatin: [[http://stfuparents.tumblr.com/tagged/Language%20Butchery Has its own category.]]
31* SeriousBusiness: Many of the moms shown on the site in regards to anything about their kids.
32* SdrawkcabName: Nevaeh (Heaven spelled backwards) is quite a common name on here.
33* SpoiledBrat: There is a whole category on the blog for spoiled children.
34* TinkleInTheEye: One parent referred to this as a golden shower, which is disturbing.
35* TooMuchInformation: Most of this site runs on too much information; is it really necessary to go into details about your child's explosive diarrhea, or post pictures of yourself giving birth on Facebook?
36* VomitDiscretionShot: {{Subverted}}. There is one picture that someone posted on Facebook, that is of a child who had thrown up all over themself in the car.
37* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: There are some very strange names given to children, such as Vagena, Vadgesty, Banjo, and Espn.
38* XtremeKoolLetterz: Some parents think it's cool to use these letters in their childrens names; for example, Xili, Zayden, and [=McKynzee=]
39* YoureDrinkingBreastMilk: Unfortunately, there have been stories of women putting breastmilk in food.
