To delete someone off FB for this?

A friend's girlfriend who I've met twice has added me on Facebook. Great, new friends...

?Some people don't deserve to be parents. A one year old child clinging to his mother's leg and the mum telling him to ?Get offffff? being fucking childish. That gorgeous boy will sure grow up in an unsuitable and horrible home?

Coming from a girl of 22 with no kids. It really (probably irrationally) wound me up that she was so judgmental and nasty.

WIBU to delete her for this?

Wow! The ultimate sanction - deleted from FB.

Meanwhile out in the real world .......

GlitterySkulls · 28/02/2012 14:42

i wouldn't delete her for that- and i'd say she was a woman, not a girl.

nickelhasababy · 28/02/2012 14:43

did she say the mum was fucking childish, or did the mum tell the baby it was being fucking childish?

She said the mum was childish.

It's not exactly a world problem, I know.

She should see my house on the weekends. It sometimes ends in my own tears (glitter in the eye) and me yelling to DP ?It was the first born!?

Social services would be called.

I think YABU. The situation she described could have looked like the mum was being really mean to her (very young, really) son, who just wanted attention. It all depends on the woman's tone etc. We all have moments where we lose our tempers, but some parents do seem to treat their DCs with little more than contempt.

The FB status was a bit judgy and reactionary, fair enough, but at worst it's just the ignorance of the childless. Deleting her seems a bit of an overreaction, if that's her only infraction.

Just hide her.

TunipTheVegemal · 28/02/2012 16:21

delete her or don't delete her, it's entirely up to you!
In that situation I'd probably challenge the comment rather than delete her though.

blushingcrow · 28/02/2012 16:22

Just delete her , that will show her ...

Boomerwang · 28/02/2012 16:25

She's 22 and childless, like you said. I was like that. You really didn't need anyone else's opinion on whether you deleted her, you wanted to know what we thought of her comment.

Personally, I don't care.

Hope that helps.

So you meet someone twice and ask them to be your friend and then they become your friend? Facebook is weird.

toddlerama · 28/02/2012 16:32

OP, did she tag you in the post? Maybe it was me she saw... I don't think 'get off' is an entirely unreasonable to a child swinging from you. I wouldn't delete her though. I like to keep the real muppets and subscribe to every post so that I can watch the twattery from afar. In real life, I can't handle the drama and avoid this stuff like the plague, but on FB, well it's like a soap or something.
