To Find This Interering

Morning all!

I don't know if I am BU but I find it so irritating! We live about 65 miles away from MIL and she has 'liked' a FB for sale sight in my area. Problem is, she is notified whenever I post anything!

For example, I posted looking for a baby gym for DD (11 months) and she messaged DP saying how she didn't think it was suitable for someone her age.

Another example is I asked looking for a man with a van as we're moving house soon. DP then gets a message telling us we don't need one. His step DB (on his DF's side) will get one from where they live and drive it here.

I just find it interfering and bloody annoying that I can't post anything without her knowing and trying to micro-manage our lives!

Next time you are at her house, get on her computer and change her settings so she doesn't get notifications anymore ;)

Sorry I can't come up with anything more useful than that. I have turned off every notification I can because I find them so annoying, but other people don't.

If you block her account she won't be able to see you anywhere.

I'd say new facebook page too. Both me and my mum had to make pseudonyms for buying and selling as my gran lives on facebook but doesn't quite understand how it works and thinks anything you post is directly aimed at her. And she must comment on everything and would phone every time too.

Unfortunately a girl locally (who is less than pleasant lets just say) also has the same name as me and my gran can't differentiate easily and previously the other stumpy asked to buy a set of drawers and my gran thinking it was me commented asking her where she was going to put them as they were nice. My gran then got a massive rant about minding her own business etc... I had to phone and explain it wasn't me she was talking to.
Has happened more than once...

No friends etc would send alarm bells ringing in my head!

A lot of people have their friends list private anyways, so they could assume you just have it set to that function. Wouldn't ring alarm bells for me.

Contact the site admin and tell them she is not local - ours like to check you out before they add you and they are a closed group.

If this is a FB page, what you can do is to block her on your profile. This way, she shouldn't be able to see you on FB at all and as a result, not being able to see your posts in other FB groups.
