To think my sister posts too many pictures on Facebook?

[CatsAreAwesome]

Background is, I don’t have children but my little sister is married with toddler aged children.

She lives away from family due to her husbands job and doesn’t know all that many people where she lives.

My problem is, she’s always posting pictures of her kids on Facebook, maybe 3 times a week. She doesn’t tend to update her status or write much, but its these constant pictures she keeps uploading. I get it that she is on her own but I feel like she’s seeking validation or something and it’s grating on me. WIBU to say something to her about this?

Why should it have to be an accurate description of the mundane aspects of daily living though? Would you honestly prefer to look at photos of people doing homework and watching tv?

It's the equivalent of having to look at a photo album every time you go round.

It’s not really. If it’s on FB, you can quickly scroll past it if you’re not bothered about seeing it.
If it’s a physical photo album, it tends to be accompanied by a lengthy description of the places / people in the photo. Impossible to fast forward through that, no matter how much you’d like to.

Eh? It's just pictures though, not status updates humble bragging or virtue signaling (my two SM pet peeves)
What do you think fb is for? Sharing your life and pics, and looking at other people's. Sounds like some straight forward sibling rivalry, so no, don't say anything. Leave her be.
I try not to post too many pics of my baby, but I'm proud of him and they grow so fast, I want to document..fb is a tool for that (for me)

You could always unfollow her, I think that stop her posts coming up in your feed.

Op you sound needy tbh

I lost all my digital pics of my DS between age of 1 and 3 due to computer issues and failed backup. I now post any pictures I want to keep on Facebook because I'll always be able to access them on other devices.

Either scroll past or unfollow her posts (you can do this without unfriending her).

She doesn't sound needy at all but you sound a right misery!

Green eyed monster over here.

I use Facebook for photo storage, don't want to see my pick? Hit the unfollow button, your posts sound jealous and miserable op :(

You mentioned that your sister presents her life as perfect online. That’s not uncommon. Social media isn’t always reality and if it is reality, it isn’t a 24 hour vision of it. Why should she publicise her less than perfect moments? I definitely didn’t Facebook about the depths of my baby blues or when I didn’t get a job or whatev. Enjoy seeing the wonderful side of her life. Get involved with her posts, like them, comment lovely things on them, celebrate with life with her. It might make you feel better.

This really is such a non issue. She’s free to post what she likes on her page. Don’t like what she posts? Unfollow her. Posting pictures of children, food, pointless check ins and ridiculous status updates all come part in parcel with Facebook.
