A likely story!!!
I’ve been using you as living proof of the adage, “On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog.”

Besides, Bubba Dog, we need somebody to counteract all those cats and kats!
It was posted in IMHO. See the second reply.
Re op: it’s wrong to be pleased/proud about being a mum?
The thing about the “xxxxmom” usernames is that they’re so many of them. So damned many of them. Is it a coinciendence that the OP singled out “mom” usernames, instead of “dog” or “dad” or “fan” usernames? No. It’s because they’re so many of them. It’s gettin’ old.
That may be true, but it’s a pretty darn feeble thing to get upset about.
Just so we know who we’re pitting here:
**Minxsmom
JOLISMOM
effiesmom
Setheme’s Mom
samsmomma
Mom2Boyz
mommyof4
sians mom
Stifflers Mom
momof2gals
Dragonite’s Mom
Ambers Mom
ShaynaTylerMom
Rock&Fluff’smom
boysmom
mom of 4
jaitlyn’smom
goransmom **
There were lots more variations, but these were the ones that fit the OP most. (Though I think Stiffler’s Mom is pulling our leg…)
Just wait til Kaylasdad sees this!
The one name this thread made me think of isn’t on that list. (FairyChatMom)
I believe tomndebb originally came from the screen name of a shared AOL account or something, rather than being named in honor of someone. But I don’t know for sure.
What next? Discworld fans?
Feel free to pit me anytime.
I’m here till thursday…
and beyond.
I’m waiting for a “Jennifer’s Penis”
It’s a pretty feeble rant, yes, if the OP is getting all worked up about it. But I don’t think he (she?) is. It wasn’t started in the Pit, after all.
It’s just one of those things that kind of wears thin after a while. Now, like I said earlier, the “mom” usernames from this board seem to be owned by pretty sharp people. So I don’t actually feel any irritation at someone who is so obviously insightful and sharp. However, if you are noticing a decided “trend” in usernames, you start to get tired of it. XXXmom this, SSSSmom that, over and over and over.
If you started noticing a lot of usernames with “Fred Durst” in them, year after year, it would start to make your eyes roll too. Or just about any other word. You reach a saturation point and then you want to say, “Enough!”
I wouldn’t say that you’re nobody till you’re somebody’s Mommy, but I would say it has a way of bringing out the best of who you already are.

Understood. I’ve started some pretty feeble rants in my time. It’s just that I think this one is a tiny bit too personal (it criticises other dopers directly for what I think is a perfectly innocent and understandable choice)
Yeah. Maybe. Well, yeah, it is a perfectly nice choice. Certainly nothing wrong or offensive with it. But I suspect that there’s a “bandwagon” effect going on, by people with little imagination. As I mentioned before, people who use little imagination sometimes can be a little dull-witted. Maybe. Perhaps. Some of the time. (But certainly not on this board!) 
(No, actually, I’m serious. The dull-witted are not usually drawn to this board.)
But to be fair, the “bandwagon” mentality of some people should not reflect poorly on those who choose the username, knowing that it’s exactly what they want for whatever reason.
Perhaps all the self-identifying moms are trying to wear the mantle (in a younger form) of the Toxic Granny.
You know, I honestly have no idea of why you dragged my name up in this thread.
Anyway, in high school, there were several students’ mothers who got T-shirts with “So and So’s Mom” printed on them. They did this because their kids were so active and popular at school and they were always being sought out because they knew when this or that activity was taking place, and/or could be counted on to help out with car pooling. Since parents were usually relying on the kid telegraph to tell them who was who, the shirts made it handy for folks to find the correct parent to get the information on when the band/cheerleading/drill team, etc. was going to be doing what.
ISTR there being several threads with the title like “Crotch the Weed! It’s My Mom!” where someone introduced their mother had joined us. On a smaller message board I can well imagine a parent doing something similar as to what the students mothers in my high school did.
Does The Devil’s Grandmother count?
That is so cool! If only I’d known! Now if I want to change my name I’ll have to decide bewteen Toxic Granny and Ass Gasket. ooooo, the choices!
