A MIL one!

I quite possibly may be being entirely pre-menstrually and unreasonable here. In general I find my MIL a bit much. Constantly hassling me for things she should go to my husband for etc.
Last week was our wedding anniversary and I saw that MIL has posted to congratulate us on her Facebook wall. Not on mine or DH’s wall, nor tagging us. She’s had various congratulatory messages from people neither of us have ever heard of. She’s then thanked each one of them on our behalf. AIBU to find this really fucking weird and attention seeking?

DH just rolled his eyes when he saw it but it really irritated me. We didn’t really acknowledge the anniversary or celebrate it ourselves and it feels a bit intrusive for her to be using it for attention from people that are complete randoms to us.

I'd say it's typical of that generation.
I've seen FB posts that are supposed to be replies etc.
Annoying, cringy but hey they'll die out eventually :D

Take her off your friends list!

If just assume she doesn’t really know how to use fb. Hardly the crime of the century

Why does this bother you? Just say thanks and move on.
