To dislike people on fb

[ames7654]

Why do some people on Facebook post bday messages etc to their children who are to young to be on fb or even see the post! Just this morning I saw people saying "happy birthday (child) lots of love mummy and daddy". I don't get it!!! I'd get it a little bit more if it was a mum saying "wow it's been 2 years since (child) was born can't believe it blah blah blah .,,"

Also don't get me started on partners wishing their partners happy bday/anniversary etc don't you don't you do it in person ??

I don't think I am bu? Am I ? I know I should just leave fb. But it's weirdly satisfying to get angry over this stuff.

Yeah you’re being unreasonable and a grouch

It’s what people want to do to share their happiness, their grief and other emotions

I normally put "wow DC is 2, how did that happen" or something.

Wishing them a happy birthday when they don't read it is odd in my opinion but each to their own.

Facebook annoys me, yet I still go on it!

Could be worse. They could invite you to one of those MLM groups several times a day, every single fecking day!!

I get what you mean though, and I've definitely been guilty of wishing my DH a happy birthday on Facebook. But that's normally to remind my parents to wish him a happy birthday as DH isn't on Facebook and they're rather forgetful

i agree these messages are silly , especially the ones when neither party is on facebook... e.g baby wishing granny a happy birthday...( very clever baby in my opinion able to work facebook at 6 weeks lol)

but each to their own... i know who the culprits are on my facebook so i just ignore or unfollow!

The messages to people 'up in heaven' are the worst. I doubt they have FB in heaven.

I come off it. It's shit. Don't do any of the social media platforms and my life is better for it! It's freeing.

Just Mumsnet I can't let go of 😂

YABU it makes some people happy and is harmless. Why do you care so much? If you don't like it then don't do it but it's a bit harsh to say you don't like them as people because of it.

Ah don't be a miserable bugger somebody on my FB wished her dog happy Birthday recently It is just a bit of fun and a life event which Facebook should be about.

I suggest you have a Facebook "clear out" immediately and tell everyone who you saved !

Yes this is a pet hate of mine!! Especially with the children. My friend does it all the time.

Also people saying 'you never wrote happy birthday on my wall' Well no because I sent you a text/private message/told you in person!

Hate it. Every time. Just why? I can't understand the thinking behind it. Why do you want hundreds of people, most of whom you probably rarely, if ever, see, to know that you want to wish your husband a happy birthday?

Your op is grumpy, the kid will be old enough to see it all eventually, and it's a nice way to remind folk and get happy birthday wishes too.

The pp slagging people off for the way they choose to grieve is fucking disgusting though.

A real mixed bag with this one then.

@GreytExpectations I honestly don't know, just don't understand it i suppose.

@BessMarvin Haha I know. Odd isn't it

That’s the reason I came off Facebook and never missed it. Just full of people showing off. Look at this look at that look how perfect my life is. When actually it’s not. So sad

My rule is if what other people do on Facebook bothers you - get off it!

My husband constantly complains about Facebook posts I love Facebook. Yes people annoy me but I just unfollow them

I kinda get people doing it as a reminder but surely the people you care about will remember? Or if they are forgetful you'd remind them? Plus most people have hundreds of friends, most of which won't care about your child's bday or your anniversary? I know I don't. Ah I really need to get off it don't i 😂

I too don’t understand why people post this stuff. All the people who matter in a persons life will surely remember anyway.

@Skyla2005 yeah i agree. I know of one person who is having an affair and has an unhappy marriage but they constantly put up posts about how happy they are in their marriage. A lot of it's fake I think. Or showing off .

Yeah I hate all that shit

FB is a pile of crap, came off it years ago, don't miss it one bit

Yeah come off it I don't think Facebook is for you ,😂

The ‘Happy birthday to my granny in heaven’ ones make me laugh. Umm, she’s dead. I don’t think she’s on Facebook kiddo.

@Mistlewoeandwhine this made me laugh

i know its only harmless and i often laugh at these posts when i scroll through....

some people just have a very different way of mourning i suppose

Maybe that's their way of reminding people and getting some support because they are grieving. Don't let someones grief stop your pisstaking though

I have lots of grieving parents on my facebook who post about their children because they just want them to be acknowledged and remembered, would you laugh at them too?

Facebook is for sharing if. Somebody wants to share that it was their grans birthday and they are missing them what happened to compassion nobody needs to be laughing at their "friend" the l
