13 Tweets That Remind Us We’re Not Here to Buy Stuff on Facebook

The hustle of women selling products to other women isn’t new; it dates back to the days of Avon and Tupperware. Now, with the power of social media, “Momtrepreneurs” (ugh, what a term) can reach out to former classmates from high school who they haven’t spoken to in a decade. From trendy leggings to bath bombs and essential oils to weight loss shakes, there’s a direct sales opportunity for almost everything. And plenty of enthusiastic women ready to “transform” your life through their products.

Direct marketing can be a tricky subject; while we want to support our friends in their endeavors, what we don’t want is to feel pressured into buying things we don’t want or need at prices that make our wallets scream. The humorous side of parenting on Twitter captures the awkwardness beautifully when friends try to sell us stuff on Facebook.

1. Let’s be real. As long as there’s no obligation to buy, those handbag and body wrap parties are the perfect excuse to skip the bedtime drama. Sip your drink and nod politely during the spiel; it’s your time to recharge.
2. Take our money! What we really need is more rest, not more stuff. How about selling us two hours of sleep on a Tuesday afternoon? We’d gladly pay for that.
3. No thanks. Sometimes, change isn’t always a good thing. Our lives are already packed with commitments that require us to wear real pants.
4. Target’s got you. Or you could just grab what you need for $5 at Target. Seriously, no need to overthink it.
5. Pyramid schemes, anyone? It all started with a stay-at-home mom looking for a way out, and now we’ve got a modern-day version of the original pyramid scheme.
6. Think twice. When your kid sets up a lemonade stand, just remember you might be training them to pitch seaweed body wraps on Facebook in 20 years.
7. Eye roll alert. If you’re selling stuff to freshen up the bathroom, fine. But convincing your mom friends that essential oils can cure chicken pox? Now that’s just crazy.
8. Defend yourself! Some of these sellers don’t take “no” for an answer. I’m working on my roundhouse kick just to survive the onslaught.
9. Cringe-worthy. Seriously, Linda, we get it. Just… please stop.
10. It’s a trap! You know it’s a trap when you see that post. Just run away.
11. Hello, Amazon! In an age of rapid shipping, why would we fight with 300 other women on Facebook for doggie paw print leggings? We could just get them with one click on Prime.
12. How about no. Let’s face it; that monogrammed bag will end up at the bottom of your car. Own up to the fact that you’re just not that kind of person.
13. block Be cautious out there, moms!
