To think that this is attention seeking (new baby and Facebook related)?

[Molkymoo]

An acquaintance of mine had a baby two weeks ago. For a week she and her DH repeatedly posted photos of the baby on Facebook, but refused to reveal the sex. Obviously people kept commenting and saying they couldn't wait to find out the sex.

After a week they finally revealed the sex (boy) and said that they had chosen a name but were "keeping it private for now". So again, a week of continuous photos of "baby" and loads of people asking them what the name was.

No name announced as yet.

Both she and her DH are generally attention seeking.

AIBU to think that it is totally attention seeking behaviour? Fair enough sometimes it takes a while to choose a name, but why keep a baby's sex secret for a week?

Facebook brings out the stupidity in people though my sister posts her whole life on there and I have a 'Facebook friend' who will post something like OMG tommy (her son) has fallen over and bashed his head it looks a right mess!!! And she gets loads of aww are you alright huns ?? Instead of well take him to the hospital you fucking imbecile instead of posting it on Facebook!!!

och facebook is for attention seeking isn;t it but this couple sound exhausting though this is baby that would have driven me insane too, I had somebody not tell facebook her babies name for a fortnight , apparently they were trying it out first before they told anybody, when they did they changed the spelling 3 times,

"AWw hun, Dwayne is such a lovely name!"

"Oh bugger, forgot you were keeping it secret "

:o

I would have unfriended ( is that even a word ) them by now. I hate that type of attention seeking post. It's like the ones where someone posts "Grrrrrrr" and someone else asks what's wrong only to be told it's nothing, or it's too complicated/private to discuss on FB.
