To tell this women to grow up...

[highlighta]

A colleague of dh recently got married. I can cope with his wife in very small doses.

She is one of my Whatsapp contacts. I noticed a few days ago that she had posted "3 more sleeps until my birthday yay" and party emoticon. So each day there has been a count down and obviously tomorrow is her birthday as at today she has only "one more sleep" .........

FFS - she is 36 years old!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow the problems some people have to deal with

Maybe she assumes that most of the people on there are actually her friends and share her desire to celebrate as much as possible, or at least won't condemn her for wanting to. If you aren't her friend and can 'only tolerate her in small doses' then why on earth do you need to be in contact with her at all? She probably feels the same way about you, so why not put you both out of your mutual misery and just leave her be?

I don't quite understand what this is about? If someone annoys you on social media just unfollow her or scroll pass her! You never know she might NEED to do this there might be an alterior motive on her part which is to make sure her husband does remember and gets her something gorgeous and lovely. It's actually a very clever idea and something I think I might adopt myself actually!! On my birthday last year my dh asked me what I would like as a present as he had been away and didn't have time to get it and I told him a silver watch. We traipsed around on my birthday through lots of jewellery shops with the kids arguing and my husband was screaming blue murder at them "it's your mums birthday and look at the both of you you just keep arguing and you HAVE to enjoy this!" which put me off choosing anything because of the stress! I walked away in the end lol
