to be annoyed by this

[nsldriver]

My DD's father left when she was 6 months old. He's just posted a picture on FB and tagged her saying that he has an amazing daughter because she was raised by a brilliant father. It's total BS as he did bugger all to raise her.
AIBU to be angry about it?

You’re not being unreasonable to feel irritated, but it’s not worth expending any energy on. Just ignore it.

Was there another man in her life helping you to raise her? If there was I would be tempted to comment and say "oh yes 'Fred' has been a wonderful dad to her. "

It probably isn't worth rising to it though but I would also be tempted to message him privately and say social media might be fooled into thinking you are a great dad but the most important person 'insert daughters name' will always know the truth.

Shesellsseashellsontheseashore message is good as a reply.

I'd be tempted to reply "yes, I did a fantastic job as Mum AND Dad"

Nope, just me.

I would just reply ‘what father? You have barely see her and she doesn’t have a step dad’

Probably trying to impress a potential gf. I'd try to put something up along the lines 'amazing considering you've only seen her twice in x years

Think about the impact on your DD if you respond.
Feel free to post on here all the responses you would like to post to him especially as MN has no restrictions on swearing. I think wankbadger might be a good place to start.

He is a thundercunt and you are well shot of him.

Think you have tagged the wrong child. The father of this girl walked out on her when she was 6 months old.

How old is she? Get her to reply if old enough

YANBU to feel annoyed, it is annoying, but you would BU to post a "sarcastic yet witty" response to it as you'll only stir up an argument and it'll be you that comes off looking like the dickhead, not him.

Think up whatever reply you like, say it in your head, posting here, whatever helps but absolutely don't post it on FB.

How does he have a photo of her?

Don't reply, it will just result in a load of responses about what you did "wrong" or the "lies you told" and will drag your daughter into the argument and upset her. He is probably trying to impress someone and that person will not care about your side of the story.... Post any angry /frustrated responses here instead 🙂

Why do either of you have him on Facebook?

Just to be clear, he hasn't seen her since she was 6 months old?

I'd comment... Its probably bad advice, but i wouldnt be able to control myself.. I'd end up putting something along the lines of ; " oh really? I must have slept through the past Xxx years, cos i swear I've been parenting ALONE since you left at 6 months!"

Oh it's not a photo of her, should have said but i missed it out - it's a photo of a t shirt for a child to wear about how she's awesome because of how her father raised her.

I had him on FB because he added her and i wanted to keep an eye on him. he's a misogynistic, racist, bigoted twat straight from the 1950s - and that's how a mutual friend described him not me.

Ask him if it’s a typo as his comment is so far from the truth that you think it must be?

I've blocked him, can't be a*** any more with his shit.
