Is she taking the piss out of me or my child?

I have an old school friend on my Facebook, we’ve known each other since primary school and now in our late 30s.
I had my first child two years ago, when he was around 6 months old she sent me a photo that I’d posted on Facebook of him, she’d put a big fringe on him and said “look at this, he’s the absolute double of you if you put a fringe on him”. Now I didn’t quite know how to take this as I had put on the post that he was the spitting image of his dad so her message could be taken as support saying he looks more like me but I am known for being gullible!!
I replied saying “I can see it kind of haha x”

Since then she has continuously sent me pics of my own kids with fringes put on them, DS1 is now 2.5 and my youngest is 6 months old. Both getting fringes put on them and sent to me.

I now think she’s taking the piss out of my hair? I’ve had the same haircut since primary school so AIBU to think this is just a piss take but be more offended that she’s messing with pics of my baby and toddler to do it??

Just ignore her?

DrManhattan · 06/05/2023 15:58

Don't know your friend but if this is the sort of thing she does to everyone I would just ignore it. If it's just at you I would think she's probably a bit odd. And back off.

Tell her to stop it's annoying, but honestly I think she's just saying they look like you.

Carsarelife · 06/05/2023 16:30

I'd find it quite amusing actually that she's gone to so much effort

Jonei · 06/05/2023 16:32

Sounds quite funny to me.

Are you Claudia Winkleman?

Irritateandunreasonable · 06/05/2023 16:35

I think she sounds like an unfunny, utter dick.

spottybug · 06/05/2023 16:35

Either stop putting photos of your child on Facebook or block her.

VanillaImpulse · 06/05/2023 16:37

Yes just block her access to your photos then she can't do it. Do you ever meet up with her or is she just an old acquaintance? If the latter then just unfriend if it's not going to cause issues

This would piss me off.

Ask her outright 'are you taking the piss out of my hair style' and then see what she answers and go from there.

It sounds a bit bullying really. is she a bit of a bully?

When I was pg I had a 'friend' ask with a laugh 'whose nose will the poor sod get?'. i have a large nose.

It sounds in a simialr vein tbh. taking the piss out of someones appearance is never okay.

As a one off it is funny but to do it all the time is really strange. If you’re feeling bold maybe just ask why she keeps doing it.

Choconut · 06/05/2023 16:41

Start putting some aspect of her on pics of her kids and see how long she thinks it's funny for.

Carla224 · 06/05/2023 16:43

Reply....you have way too much time on your hands.

Best put down for stuff like this.

Divorcedalongtime · 06/05/2023 16:45

I think you are overthinking this. She probably just saves you to see it like she does.
I feel like this about my own face, I just see my grandmother and none of my other family can see it and it slightly annoys me

I think it's odder you've had the same haircut since you were a small child. Do you have no personality of your own?

I think it’s more odd you would take time out of your day to just be a bitch.

Get a wig, see what she does then! Tbh this kind of stuff gets wearing very fast, just ask her to stop.
