To find this woman's behaviour very irritating?

[cithkadston]

DH's friend's wife had a baby girl around 6 months ago. They already have a boy, who is 3. Throughout the entire pregnancy she went on and on on FB about how she was sure that this baby was a girl, and how much she would love to have a "little princess". She also had a very twee nickname for the baby throughout her pregnancy.

She then had a girl, and of course there was lots of talk about how she now had the perfect family, and how amazing it was that she had her "princess". Status after status.

6 months later, she is still constantly doing statuses about how she now has the perfect family, and how she can't believe she has "one of each". She calls them The Perfect Pair, and is just generally very smug and irritating about it all.

She is like it in person too, although not quite as bad, but lots of talk about little princess, and how amazing it is to have one of each.

AIBU to find her irritating? Before anyone says it, I'm not jealous. I too have one of each.

I'm a big old misanthrope, FB reinforces this, daily, hourly in some cases...

Pointless selfies with the attached comment of "back to work"...dafuq has your face got to do with going back to work? cunts, the lot of 'em

I "unfollow"irritating people. Much less angst.

To be serious for a minute ive also a friend who lives abroad feels blessed by her princesses but I think she is lonely she looks like she has a fab life but I know she misses her family and elderly parents

Facebook statuses are often bollocks.

My most active friend is forever posting statuses about her house, kids and social life, making them all look wonderful.

I know for a fact she hates her job, has some marital problems and was on A/Ds for a time. I know because she told me. If all I had to go off were her statuses, I'd think she was leading a charmed life.

Oh God. I have hidden a friend who's "blessed" at every turn. She went on holiday to Jamaica and came back talking like a Rasta, everything she doesn't feel blessed about is signed off 'blessings of Jah' or 'Jah Rule'.

Her statuses made me want to write YOU LIVE IN DAGENHAM AND YOU'RE A WHITE ROMAN CATHOLIC! beneath every one of them...

Lovecat...you friend sounds amazing fodder for FB entertainment!

Jah Rule indeed haha

A distant friend did this with her 'twincesses'.

Fuck off.

Then went on and on about how her older boy was misbehaving; whilst gong on and on about her good as gold twincesses.

Cause>effect issues.

I binned her. Couldn't stand it any longer. Still going on about it apparently. Years later.

I know someone juuuuuuuuuust like this. Forever posting statuses about what housework she's 'accomplished' that day (full lists, mind - not just a general 'did housework'), how amazing her husband who has his dick in one of her best friends is, how gorgeous her kids are, and those endless fucking 'tiger stripes' memes. I really should unfollow her, but I enjoy reading between the lines too much, because I'm a bit of a scrote like that

defriend her, or hide her? she sounds like a moron

Oh honestly! I don't understand why people get their knickers in such a twist over FB.

I'm not a fab if gushy status's but she's not being offensive: presumably just excited and happy with her family. Why not just feel happy for her? Serious question.

I don't get the hatred...

fan of

My cousin is a fab fb entertainment system she is an alcoholic this week.

Please don't think I'm being mean or not understanding.

She has been committing suicide (loudly) on fb every weekend for about ten years.

Last week she had cancer but then didn't it turned out.

Before that she had to have a back operation because her spine didn't work (but was in the pub the next day)

Constantly tagging herself 'at' hospital and taking photos of her cannula etc. and posting them. Usually because the a and e staff have given up and let her in. She is there every week.

The family tried hard in the first twenty years to help her. It took that long to realise she just really enjoyed being a 'victim'. The health scares happened when she didn't get enough 'Aw hun your so wonderful and brave' posts.

ooh that was quite therapeutic.

Blessed FB statues crack me up. One of my friends was recently blessed while travelling as her baby needed changing and God provided, amazingly, a service station with baby change facilities. Truly there is no end to her blessings. (She is lovely though).

Completely agree with past. Tbh you sound like a bit of a rubbish friend if you can't just get over it and be happy for her. Just hide her fb comments FFS, it's not difficult. Or maybe you've drifted apart too much now, you're too different and it's time to let the friendship go?

Gah how nauseous

bin her!!

Good for her I suppose? Just leave her to it. They'll scream, cry, tantrum, extort your money as teenagers, disobey and be messy like everybody else's children!

the thing that REALLY pisses me off is doesn't everyone think their kids are gorgeous, just everyone doesn't have to say it. And also, why do people have to say their kids are beautiful. Because no one else will?

I laughed like a barking seal reading this - I've got people who I very publicly ex-friended (?) due to this kind of behaviour, and a year on they're STILL slagging me off on FB and saying what a cunt I am, just so they can get all the sympathy and all that lovely victim playing.

Put it this way: if you go to great lengths to track down my violent and abusive ex partner on social networks, just to tell him a cocktail of lies about me and also give the new (previously secret) address of where I live with my 3yo now, out of sheer spite because I outed you as a malicious attention seeker, I am going to be a cunt to you.

That was quite a tangent I went on there! coughs As you were...

Yup, she's definitely protesting too much. According to FB one of my friends has the best DH ever. He buys her sackloads of designer gifts from foreign work trips which she posts pictures of and she is forever banging on about how she loves him more than life itself.

Sadly thanks to DP, who works with her DH, I know he has a roving eye, finds her intensely irritating and avoids her calls on work trips. I feel sorry for her.

My friends with the best relationships and families just don't have the time or the need to shout about it on FB. They're more likely to be self-deprecating on there than boastful.

I hate those statuses. Fair enough post pics of kids but always ones of "never knew I could love this much" type and really you deserve some sort of violence don't you. Too sappy for words.

She sounds dumb as a box of rocks. Definitely hide her posts, for the sake of your blood pressure.

Brilliant

I couldn't be arsed listening to that.
