In the digital age, selling products through social media has become a common practice. Women trying to market items to other women is a long-standing tradition, reminiscent of Avon and Tupperware. Now, “Momtrepreneurs” (ugh, that term) use the internet and smartphones to reach out to old friends from high school, hawking everything from leggings to essential oils. While many of us want to support our friends in their entrepreneurial endeavors, we often find ourselves overwhelmed by relentless pitches to buy things we don’t want or need at outrageous prices. Thankfully, the humorous parents on Twitter have captured the absurdity of these sales tactics.
1. Real talk.
As long as there’s no need to buy anything, those handbag and body wrap parties provide a perfect excuse to avoid the bedtime chaos. Enjoy a drink and nod along during the pitch—it’s your time!
2. Shut up and take our money.
Most moms don’t need more clutter, but we could definitely use extra rest. How about selling us a few extra hours of sleep on a Tuesday? We’d buy a dozen!
3. Seriously.
Sometimes, change isn’t the answer. Our lives are already filled with enough commitments that require us to wear real pants.
4. No thank you, please.
Or just get similar products for a fraction of the cost at Target because, well, you know.
5. The original pyramid scheme.
It’s amusing to think that a stay-at-home mom with financial struggles could be saved by a vague promise from three wise men.
6. Don’t encourage them.
Remember, when your kid sells watered-down lemonade, you might be paving the way for them to expect others to buy their seaweed body wraps in 20 years.
7. Eye roll.
If you’re going to market it as a way to reduce bathroom odors, fine. But convincing friends that essential oils can cure chickenpox? Now that’s just nuts.
8. The best defense is a good offense.
Let’s be honest—some of these women won’t take no for an answer. Mastering my roundhouse kick is essential for survival at this point.
9. We’re all cringing, Linda.
Honestly, Linda. Just… please stop.
10. We see you.
Yes, it’s clearly a trap. Best to run away.
11. Meet our friend Prime.
Given the convenience of Target and two-day shipping, why would anyone want to compete on Facebook for leggings? We’ll need to analyze this with pie charts or something.
12. How about no.
Let’s be real—a monogrammed bag will just end up buried in your Honda CR-V. Own your style and skip it!
