to not want my dn mum laughing with her mates on facebook about my db's sickness bug

Long story short my dn mum and my brother broke up when my niece was a baby she didn't like him working "all the time" and leaving her in the house. She wanted him to give up work and stay at home living on benefits with her. This caused so many arguments, I won't go into details but it was horrendous at the time.
Fast forward and my DB is doing very well for himself, has his own business a fiancee and a son, she has always been very bitter about his success.
My dn has been staying at his the past few days and returned home today, told her mum that my DB has the winter sickness bug, her mum goes on Facebook and posts along the lines of trust my ex to try and make me poorly over Christmas blah blah.
Then she has a great giggle with one of her friends about how it came on suddenly for him and he errr "had an accident" in the car on his way out.
Is it just me or does it seem wrong to post that kind of thing about someone all over the internet let alone have a good laugh at it.

Just delete her

no more fb dramas

slavetofilofax · 21/12/2011 15:38

I would delete her too.

YANBU, she sounds like an evil cow, but she is obviously not happy herself or she wouldn't need to make herslef feel better by laughing at the misfortune of others. Happy people just don't do that.

DoMeDon · 21/12/2011 15:39

Pity her........... then delete.

abbierhodes · 21/12/2011 15:42

I'm wondering why you are friends with her on facebook? Very strange.

filipolarbear · 21/12/2011 15:42

slavetofilofax maybe not evil, but demented, if you only knew the half of it.

If you don't want to delete her, just hide most of her updates - although I have to say I would have no hesitation in deleting someone who posted like that about one of my brothers.

AbbyAbsinthe · 21/12/2011 15:51

To be fair - he might be your brother, but he's her ex. Totally different dynamic and she can write whatever she likes. If you don't like reading it, hide or delete her

WilsonFrickett · 21/12/2011 15:54

Agree with Abbey - she can write whatever she likes, you don't have to agree or like what she says (even though that's a pretty low thing to put in the public domain, but still...).

BettySwollocksandaCrustyRack · 21/12/2011 15:55

Why have her on fb then.

I see your point but from her POV - he is her ex.....she is bound to make sarcy comments about him, that what ex's do!

Kayano · 21/12/2011 16:03

Who was it on another thread who put

'I wasn't aware that a breakup came with a get out of jail free card for all future behaviour'

So apt. She is out of order to put that on fb but unfortunately there won't be a lot you can do about it Sad

AbbyAbsinthe · 21/12/2011 16:18

So when posters here slag off their exes, that's different?

Don't get me wrong, I think she's being horrible, but I wouldn't have her on my FB for specifically this sort of reason.

SnapesMistressofMerriment · 21/12/2011 19:36

Its different because we don't name names and tell their family and friends Abby.

NO IT IS NOT, WELL NOT IF THEY ARE GROWN UPS.

My first husband has this bug and I dropped off drinks and made sure he had everything he needed, I would not dream of making fun of him on FB as I am not a silly 15 year old.
And no I am not hankering after him as I have a new DP and am happy.

OP delete her she is poison

I was referring to Kayano's post, snapes
