I live in a a small costal town which is mostly seasonal, my dh works in a very popular and busy fish takeaway so when the kids are off this is his most busiest time, eg during the summer we see him 1 day a week, the rest he's working at least 10 hours days. I used to work with him but quit a few years ago as working so much and trying to bring up our dc was getting to much, became a running joke that we saw more of the dc during the winter rather then summer hols, he's not allowed anytime off during school holidays. I now work part-time in a pub and only work school hours, so have every weekend off, my boss rang me today asking me what I would like to work over Christmas and new year as she know I like to spend it with my dc, I didn't mind what I worked just not Xmas day, she said she would cover my Christmas shifts if I could work new years day, I agreed as we don't go out for new years and I'm not a drinker so wouldn't be hangover anyway, after the phonecall I just put on my own Facebook that having such a nice boss who understood how important my dc are to me and will always bendover backwards to make sure I'm there for them is such a nice thing to have and is so rare these days. I didn't tag my dh in the post but I still have a few people who work with my dh on fb as they are still quite a big part of my life, well my dh rang me asking me to take the post down as his boss had seen it and was having a hissy fit saying that was was putting him down and saying it looks like he doesn't treat dh with respect or let him have time off, well in the truth he's doesn't let dh have time off with the kids, he even kicked off the other week when dh took a week off, trying to say they were too busy and he would have to work all weekend, the whole point of having a week off was to spend the weekend with the dc as he hadn't seen them all summer but the boss had 2 weekend off during the summer to spend with the dc even tho they are older teenagers were ours dc are all under 10,
Aibu in refusing to take the post down, it has nothing to do with my dh and his work and purely me saying how grateful I am for having such a nice and understanding boss,

I don't think it's a good idea to put anything about work on your personal SM tbh. Best avoided.

Fuck that. YANBU. I wouldn't take it down. He's not on your FB friends so it's none of your business. What I would be doing however is removing all the other sneaks who clearly have been talking about you and what you posted.

I don't see anything wrong with what you've said. It's bloody lovely to have an employer who treats you like that, it's few and far between believe me and no reason not to "celebrate" it.

If other people take umbrage, it's because it's touched a nerve somewhere.
