I’m friends on social media with a friend’s wife. I fully admit that I find her very irritating and have often considered hiding her or whatever, but can’t bring myself to look away.
She has a tendency to post very sanctimonious statuses about what people should believe, how they should behave, etc. Last year on Mother’s Day she made a big point of posting about how it is a difficult day for some people who don’t have good relationships with their mothers, and that we should all be mindful of that and sensitive to their pain.
Now, my mum died when I was 19, so I understand why people find the day difficult, but I would never presume to tell other people that they shouldn’t celebrate their relationships with and appreciation for their own mothers just because of my personal situation.
This year, she is pregnant and has been posting about it multiple times per day, including scan photos, the baby’s name, judgments on how other people parent, memes about how to raise children and weekly updates on her baby’s gestation. AIBU to think that it is likely she will be keen to forget about her advice to the rest of us from last year so that she can take part in celebrating her impending motherhood this year and, as a result, is a massive hypocrite?
And yes, I should just unfollow her, but I really just wanted a good moan.
