To think this is inappropriate even for Facebook?

[charlmarascoxo]

One woman (use to work with her now don't) has for the last week been saying that she's pregnant. Fair enough.

But when people have congratulated her, she's commented back saying there's no need for congratulations as I don't want another child. Basically she's said this is not a good thing, that its a mistake.

She has two other children, not sure of exact ages but think about 12 and 9 who have a fb account too, so they can see what their mother is saying.

I know on fb people do tend to air their dirty laundry but I think this might be taking it too far.

I'm not judging her for having an unplanned pregnancy and not wanting the baby, but to reveal all to fb just seems so inappropriate.

I don't think people realise how deeply damaging it is to know that you were not wanted.

Regardless, there isn't much you can do, apart from possibly reporting the profiles of her children as both are under the age of 13. It could be too late by the time Facebook act, though, and they've likely already seen or heard about the messages.

Let's just hope that the mother realises that all this stuff could still be accessible when her baby is searching online, and her older children are likely to remember too.

I can't understand her logic.

Yeah, it makes me feel so sad. I can't imagine the pain of knowing that you were unwanted and for it to be made so publicly.

Wow that's harsh that shes putting it out there for her friends to see she must be quite messed up

Oh dear. Is she ok? She sounds as though she may be struggling to cope with the news and is possibly depressed about it. That's a very odd and inappropriate thing to do.

Possibly? She is a single mother so I'm sure having another child would obviously be more of a struggle.

She did put a recent status that she's being brave and smiling for her children when all she wants to do is break down.

Honourable thing for a mother to do but her children can obviously see that's she's written this. So if I was them I'd know it was just an act

Not really. I think the honorable thing to do would be to not have it, under the circumstances.

Sad story. Unusual to make it public

FellatioNelson I'm not sure if that's true?

Anyway I'm not commenting on whether she should keep her baby or not. I'm commenting on the fact she has made it so public.
