To be irritated when people post to their dcs on facebook?

[mosschops30]

For example:

Happy 4th birthday ds1

Or

Well done dd on your fabulous report, mummy is very proud

Fair enough if you have a teenager who is actually on facebook but why would you post this crap, god it irritates the hell out of me. I always want to post 'ooh is ds on facebook now hes 4 then?'

They're merely sharing the news in a twee and faux hilarious way. Judge them, hide them and move on. Silently of course.

yabu
I post to ds to come down as I want to speak to him

Aah mossy, they just want you so know what's going on, but I do agree they could just say 'it is dcs birthday today' or 'dc had a good report today I am very proud' they don't have to have pretend conversations with themselves on dcs behalf.

Yes but hes not 4 2shoes is he? I do the same with dd but shes 15.

I would nt dream of posting a status to my 7 or 2 yr old

Yabu to get yourself in such a tozz about it tbh.

hahaha 2shoes, I text mine! :)

I actually don;t do this myself but I think it's nice for posterity. If your children read these back when they're older they will appreciate them.

about children is fine but I hate when they are talking to their children on fb, when said child is too young to read let alone have fb account. for example "Oh lucy, please to go to sleep sweetie. mummy loves u v much. thanks my beautiful girl.". if their children are old enough to be on fb its fine to chat to them though obviously.

YABU.

Facebook isn't compulsory and people can post what they want within reason.

Hide or enjoy mocking and move on.

YANBU, but even that's not as irritating as the couples who fb messages to each other for all to see. I have gone off one of my friends a tiny bit since she and her dp started passing their lap top to each other when sitting on the same sofa to post 'hilarious' comments on each others walls. She has, of course, been hidden.

I have a FB friend who does this. Why? Why? Why?

I suggest you delete yourself from Facebook if you get irritated by what people post.

YABU. They are not actually posting to a four year old but sharing something special/that they are happy about with their friends on facebook. In the grand scheme of irritating things its no big deal

YANBU - I agree!

My DS has now discovered Kik on his i phone...he is sending me messages all the time, lol..am sure it would be quicker to just come and find me, our house aint that big!

Yes, yes, yes.

Or, actually, no, YANBU

It's bloody irritating.

Lots of my fb friends do this, I've prob been guilty myself once or twice.

I do snigger at the praise updates between couples who live in the same house. E.g "thanks to my gorg hubs for making my lovely tea tonight" response: "no problem babes you deserve it" .

It's not as annoying when people post about how other people's posts on facebook irritate them.

Yours are probably irritating too, tbh. e.g. - "you post happy birthday to your teenager on there. Why? Why not just tell her, or phone her, or send her a card" that's what someone might say if they were the kind of nitpicker who gets aerated about how other's use facebook

I feel badly for the children of the facebook generation, TBH. I understand that you are proud and want to share, but it feels like such an invasion to put a lot of the stuff that we do on the internet.

I would be mortified if my mum had taken a picture of my first anything in the potty and showed it to anyone. Ever. (Sharing the story is fine, but a visual? Are you kidding?) And yet, today, it's actually considered normal to post those pictures all over the internet where anyone can see them. (Don't talk to me about privacy settings; they are a joke if you know what you are doing).

YANBU. Not just to their dc but also about their dc. Constantly.

I have often wanted to post but haven't because my friends are otherwise quite ok, so I'll post it here because no one knows me.

"if your last 10 status updates are about your children, it might be time to go out and experience something without them for a change"

Jesus tree no need to be such a bitch. Its a lighthearted AIBU thread.
And nowhere have i said that i post happy birthday to my dd, because i do tell her!

Loved the passive agressive wink too!

I was being lighthearted as well! Calm down. Wow.

I can't be bothered to report you calling me a bitch, but thanks for that.

I'll know not to reply to you ever again.

AIBU isn't the place for you, I don't think.

Report i dont care.
Your post was not lighthearted, you were being PA and i am so tired of people on MN just being catty for the sake of it, im sure you woukdnt have said it to my face in RL.

im sure i'll survive if you never answer another post if mine

Wow, you're charming. Really charming.
