Am i the one who should appologise .....

You can't have even known you were pregnant at two weeks. That's about the time that you ovulate.

But anyway you both sound ridiculous and need to get off Facebook.

Honestly feeling really sorry for the baby right now.

It's only Facebook......so glad I got rid of it....causes nothing but problems!!! You are both being unreasonable.....

You both sound marvellous.

And this sort of bollocks is one of the reasons I don’t have Facebook.

Honestly, having read your opening post @Atticus334, I would drop the rope.

You've told her about the pregnancy, you've tried to involve her in things she might like to get involved with and not involved her in things that have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with her.

Treat her like you would treat a naughty child. Don't give them the attention that they seek. Don't rise to the bait when they tell their tales of woe to other friends and family to rush to defend her (they are called flying monkeys by the way). Just say that you were disappointed that she could take it upon herself to type in the word "Congratulations", 15 letters. That's all. Then move on and change the subject.
Stop involving her in your life and the life of your kid(s). She doesn't need to see a school report so don't give her one. Put her on what I call and 'information diet' - tell her stuff that she needs to know only. Everything else, keep it light or change the subject.

That's what I would do. You will find if you do that, you won't be walking around on eggshells for much longer.

I wouldn’t post a comment on this type of thing either. I don’t want the world and his wife reading my personal messages. But I would send a private message.

This is so ridiculous I do t even know where to begin.

grow up

Block her on facebook. That'll give her something to whinge about.

I do hope there's lots of vaguebooking going on from both sides!

Why aren’t women allowed to want congratulations for getting pregnant, from the person/people who are supposed to love them the most?

Why bother playing this game with her? You know she did it to cause a drama and upset you because she knows you will enough that you d want a public comment, and you jumped straight onto the 'trap'.
She isn't going to be who you want, or give you want you want so give yourself some peace and just pull back. Focus on your pregnancy, your partner and those who love to see you happy and thriving

You're both being ridiculous. HTH

She sounds dreadful. You sound perfect. Never speak to her again.

How would she be aware that she wasn't tagged in the FB post if she hadn't seen it to know that she wasn't actually tagged in it?
Come to think of it, why would she be tagged in a post that is about your pregnancy?

Facebook arguments are for the likes of the Jeremy Kyle show. I dread to think how many relationships social media has ruined. Stop looking for validation online. Once the baby is actually here and you plaster them all over facebook I'm sure there will be the required amount of gushing from everyone.

Sounds like the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. You both sound petty and pathetic. Stop living your life through Facebook.

This is a perfect example of someone only having power over you because you let them. It's all 'I said then she said then I said . . .'

Stop rising to it and if she doesn't speak to you, great, you can get on with life!

It’s ridiculous to comment on something on Facebook she’s already congratulated you on. Do you and your husband wish each other happy birthday on Facebook whilst sitting across the breakfast table from each other, despite having already exchanged cards and presents?!!!

Your mother isn’t coming across as the petty one here…

People having a go at the OP here cause its a Facebook spat, are missing the entire point. The woman's own mother cannot be truly happy for her. even in her celebration announcement she by her omission of support, made it about her. And well it worked.

You've spent the last week thinking about her and making her the focus instead of parking it and enjoying the family you have created. I know its hard, but my firm advise to you is this, stop giving this woman the attention she craves. Dont share every aspect of your life with her. This is not a close relationship, its all a smoke screen for whats really going on, You live in her shadow, everything has to be about her and she needs to be considered in everything.

Leave things lie down for a while...see how things progress.

If she already knew and had congratulated you why did she need to write anything on Facebook? You say people say happy birthday in person then still comment on FB , I don't and neither does anyone I know other than people who love FB drama. You say she's petty and starts arguments, it seems the apple didn't fall far from the tree

I don't think you are in the wrong Op. She's being intentionally petty and I think manipulative. Don't feel like it's on your to make amends. Let her be bitter about it. And congratulations on your little one!

I gave her 24 hours to acknowledge it

Sounds like dramatics are in the genes

But this post is about social media, so that's what people will respond to.

You’re both being absolutely ridiculous and need to grow the fuck up.

You - are pissed off she’s not commented/liked your Facebook post.

She - is pissed off that you didn’t tag her in said post, or told her that you were going to post it on Facebook.

Can you not see how batshit this is? Can she not see how batshit this is?

You both need to delete Facebook and go and touch grass. Seriously.

I don't use facebook really and wouldn't care about it this but that's not the point of this post so I don't know why people act like you shouldn't care?
The issue is obviously that this is a normal thing in your family and your mum is using this situation to not comment to show her annoyance with you for an incredibly petty reason.
She obviously has form for doing this exact sort of thing over the years and it sounds exhausting.
You're obviously not unreasonable but knowing that won't change anything unless you stop letting yourself be bothered by your mothers tantrums and stop giving her what she wants which is drama and attention.
