Performative drivel from grown adults

A few of my friends with fathers who are very much alive and well, but not on instagram - posting stories wishing them a HFD! Pick up the bloody phone and tell them for goodness sake.

Performative nonsense, or is it me?

Oh I’ve been guilty of this! I posted last year a pic of my dad with my DD as a baby acknowledging how much I love and missed him. He’s been dead since 2008. Today a friend wrote a tribute to his dad, also long dead. But yea if they are alive why post if the man in question won’t see it.

The 'happy heavenly father's day' ones piss me off too. If there's FB in heaven then it's actually hell.
