To think this is attention seeking behaviour?

[RunAlexRun]

Someone on my Facebook friends announced her pregnancy back in February. About a month ago she did a status saying that they now knew the sex of the baby but were keeping it to themselves for now and would reveal it 'in due course'

She then announced a couple of weeks ago that they would announce the sex of the baby in FB today, and for the last two weeks has posted regular bump photos and statuses saying how many days to go until she's revealing the sex.

So, today is 'the big reveal' and she did a status this morning saying they were spending the day with the DCs and they'll do their announcement later. No announcement as yet, cue lots of people writing on her FB wall asking when she's going to let them know.

AIBU to think this is ridiculous, attention seeking behaviour? They are not celebrities btw, just a couple who are up themselves!

Hahahah. They obivsouly have fuck all else going on in their lives. Yanbiu

Uh I can't believe people are even asking, everyone knows you don't comment on these types of idiots posts, you just say nothing and keep checking so you can judge and read them silently, you don't encourage them!

Exactly!

Oh my god that's incredibly cringe worthy! If they're spending the day with their DCs does that mean this isn't even their first? I always thought people got more carried away with their first pregnancy as they haven't got any other children to spend their time on. Second and third pregnancies people have usually clocked that no one except doting grandparents (if you're lucky) are in the least bit interested in scan and bump photos.

It's their 4th!

Your mistake is not blocking the numpty ages ago.

Cringe!

Were there cupcakes involved? I may vaguely know the people in question!

Message her

Oh are you having a baby ? You never said !

Someone's been watching too much Kardashians and housewives of wherever, or maybe since this is UK, Billie and Sam faiers 'wonderful' programmes whose titles I'm glad I don't know.

I don't recall seeing any cupcakes, sadly.....

Unfortunately she isn't someone I can defriend or have nothing to do with so I silently judge her posts

“You’re pregnant?! You kept that quiet!” Every. Single. Time

god some people are so boring on fb does anyone with half a brain cell, really care about a randoms pregnancy ?

Not very exciting waiting for the reveal, it's 50/50! 😂

WTF? How self absorbed can some people be? 😱 Nauseating behaviour. Also, how insensitive - they might have friends or family who are infertile/have lost a baby and so on.

YADNBU.

Just post "I know what you're having....it's a baby!"

It's things like this that mean I can't have Facebook. Absolutely drives me mad.

Unfortunately she isn't someone I can defriend

You can "unfollow" them. They will still be your fb friend but their statuses and crap will stop appearing in your newsfeed. And they'll never know you've done it.

Why on earth does anyone think that anyone else gives a shiny shite what sex baby they are having? I didn’t care what sex baby I was having!

I swear meghan announced her pregnancy before Feb

I don't understand how some people can think they are so important. It's just boring and no one gives a shiny shit really.

Ooh two of us have used the word shiny shit

OP said lots of people were writing on her wall today asking when they would find out! So seems like a fair few of her friends do give a shiny shit!

This narcissistic shit is why I left fb. I can't bear it. It's the curse of social media. It's no longer social, it's all very self-centred
