to be a bit jealous of people who post smug posts on facebook

[elliejjtiny]

Photos of expensive presents their partners have bought them with vomit inducing comments. Posts about charming children, immaculate houses and partners who enjoy buying shedloads of stuff that they will never use for each DC. I've just read a post from someone about how they just "know" her current pregnancy is a girl so her partner is "insisting" that they go and buy a load of pink stuff.

I'm very lucky. I've got 4 DS's (3 with SN) and a DH who I love but we are more like the family from outnumbered than the waltons. That's normal right? Please someone tell me that the perfect people have flaws too and that their stepford children have tantrums in the dr surgery.

I don't normally think about these things but I'm trying to take it easy post C-section and when my body is inactive my brain goes into overdrive

I hate smug messages a but especially the ones which are vague and entice other people to question extensively before they are enticed to do a big reveal.

I'd just think how much money they're wasting on useless rubbish but then I'm pretty frugal/miserable these days

The worst for me (and my cousin is guilty) is:
Poster: Crap day? couldn?t be worst.
Then someone comments: oh no hun what?s wrong?
Poster: I?ll PM you hun

Sorry that wasn?t smug.. but I do have a friend who constantly posts about her gorgeous beautiful family but behind back doors they fight like mad? healthy?! I think she is lying to herself and wants to prove that her life is perfect..When only a small of us know its not?

I really hate when people put those vague comments on, I refuse to reply but loads of my friends fall for it!

One 'friend' put 'At the hospital with DS2', loads of people were straight on there asking what was wrong, she didn't reply till the next day and it was only a little bump on the head. She is now blocked, I am getting ruthless with the blocking!

I think most posts here comfirm what a pointless exercise FB is in many ways. If you put so much effort in making the world believe a lie, that they know anyway it's lie anyway, what's the point of it? How does make you feel better or your so called friends on FB feel better?

If a friend is not allowed to see your "real life", what's the point of calling them friends and hanging around? It's just a way of satisfying some childish egotistical need.

I don't understand how grown ups can fall for all these complete non sense and waste of people's lives for the sake of making believe something about their lives that is not completely true. It's just unbelievable.

I'm sure people up thread have said similar, but an acquaintance and fb friend used to post vomit inducing things about her perfect life and amazing husband. A year on, they are divorced after she finally had enough of his string of affairs and horrible behaviour. Sometimes, people post what they want to believe themselves.
