Tip #17: How not to bore your friends on social networks

Those kids. They say and do the darndest things. But if you publish notes about all of them as your Facebook or Twitter statuses, well, {yawn}.

Good etiquette online and in real life requires recognition of a mixed company situation. Listen up, fellow breeders: you must embrace a new definition of mixed company: Parents and Non-Parents.
Remember to filter your thoughts and serve up only the most compelling to your friends and followers.

But don’t worry, Mommy of The Cutest Kid Eva!, there ARE some places to capture the rest of those adorable moments.

In an email to your baby‘s future self.
In a text message to your partner.

Also? At work? Do not talk about labor and delivery in mixed company.
