Facebook, sorry all-but it's really pissing me off.

I should be asleep. I'm not, because I really can't understand it.

I had my DD's first birthday party. Everything went well, fun was had, lovely pictures taken by my cousin who's a photographer. She tagged all of these pictures on FB.

My mother is a bit of a Facebook addict so she has already gone through all 75ish pictures, liked and commented etc.

She has also made a picture of my DD and my sister her profile picture and captioned it "Love my girls."

Background: My mother often calls my sister her "beautiful daughter. " People have even asked her before, "Don't you have another daughter? " when she says this.

AIBU to think "Wtf?" It's my DD, my party for my DD, and yet she chooses that picture out of dozens. My DD and her aunt.

I'm being sensitive, aren't I? Confused

Glad you're feeling a bit better today.

Your sister saying you wouldn't want your mums attention says everything, it's good other people can see what she's like and will pull her up on it.

You can be safe in the knowledge it's her and not you.

Glad she's changed the picture. Sounds like there's so much more to this story than just a photo on Facebook, but even that in itself would hurt my feelings.

Oh Smite, (great nn btw) I could write a novel. I have been tempted to post on AIBU for ages about different circumstances with her, but most would have been just a moan about how much she hurts me. This one was tricky.
