BU to just want to block them?

[Clandestino]

I am on several Mums' forums on FB. They're not only about the kids and I got lots of good tips on places to visit and even good plumbers etc. there so I don't want to leave but especially come summer I get pissed off at all those "what's this rash" posts. I don't want to see all spots and rashes of your babies, toddlers and children, you stupid deluded women! Put them into comments but not as the main post! I would rather see a trained flea doing hula hoop dancing than the photos of your bitten, stung or diseased offspring!
Is it only me and I am OTT or is anyone else bothered?

They are asking advice, you can ignore them.

I have no problem with people asking for advice. I have a problem when I open my FB and the first thing I see is the leg of a five years old covered with chicken pox.

It's a parenting site, if you don't want to see these things don't open the thread. We are not stupid deluded women and you can find a plumber on checkatrade and restaurants on TripAdvisor.

@HoleyCoMoley I thought when I mentioned Facebook I made it clear where I find it disturbing. But I will just say it again: FB, short for Facebook. I am fine with MN because I have to open a thread to see what's in it.

Unfollow the group and just look at them when you want something in particular. They are using a group for the correct purpose, it is you with a problem.

Unfollow the mn group on f.b

I think there are bigger things to get angry about in the world.

Dont hard to look up an invitation only group. And the advice given there isn't for medical stuff only and not only kids related, it's for women of all ages and interests. Are you seriously telling me that sharing photos of medical problems of your children, their rashes, infected throats and bad teeth has become the new normal? This actually makes me seriously uncomfortable because I thought that some stuff should stay private and perhaps not visible to about 500+ strangers who mostly don't even know each other other than by their name as it's not anonymous.

Stay off the groups...they're giving you the rage OP 🙄

Just unfollow. You have a responsibility to manage your Facebook yourself, not expect others to

Honestly, if you're"seriously uncomfortable" then remove yourself from that group and find another.
I think you're being completely OTT about this.
In the scheme of problems in the world, this is nothing.

Why don't you set up your own fb group? You could specify no stupid deluded women, spots or rashes.

Why don't you post on there that you find it disgusting when they post pictures of their children's rashes/spots etc and I'm sure they'll solve the problem for you, by kicking you out.

Why does a child's rash/spot bother you so much

I'm on multiple allergy groups and you would freak out at the various poop pictures

But you can unfollow the posts so they dont show up on your newsfeed without leaving the groups. Its really a very simple solution

Perhaps you could suggest what we are allowed to discuss, I guess wanking, pooing, pissing, getting drunk, fancying your mates husband, sex antics are out of the question and are the men who post on here just as deluded as us women.

So, you're on 'mum's forums' on Facebook but don't like that people use them as parenting forums? Childhood illnesses, dealing with tired, poorly children and wanting reassurance that this rash on your DC isn't measles is exactly what I would expect to find on there...not just plumber recommendations

What is deluded about seeking medical advice?

What did you expect to crop up on a parenting advice group?

OK, the world of MN thinks I am BU. Meanwhile on FB I brought it up and fortunately the consensus was that such photos will go indeed into the first comments. Looks like the world of FB has shown a bit of more sense for privacy for a change.

That's nice dear.
