Anyone getting fed up of people posting about their ‘wholesome weekends’

[BluntJoker]

Keep seeing this pop up and think they sound pathetic . Am I alone in finding this annoying?

What is a wholesome weekend?

Just hide them if they're annoying you

Yep, super annoying- the same type of people who try and look “wholesome” on dating apps so people think they’re SO at one with nature and free-spirited, when in reality they lie on the sofa all weekend binge watching Netflix - think photos of walking a dog from behind with sunset in the distance, wild swimming in some deserted lake, climbing a mountain with a massive back pack, homemade sandwiches by the river…yeah, you did each of those things one time!

Would you prefer they shared the blow by blow detail on unwholesome weekend?

I only want to hear about hard drinking, 48 hour parties, and arguments about where the wheelie bins should be left, so I don't read anything wholesome. Block block block 💪

Do they call them ‘wholesome weekends’? I must have missed this craze.

Well at least they’d be genuine and I would be able to identify with them.

I mustn't be looking in the same places as you because I've never heard of such a thing.

I've never heard any one call their weekend wholesome!

Something else I'll need to Google.

Not quite as risqué as the usual things I have to Google on MN methinks.

The most ironic post about a ‘wholesome weekend’ was posted on Facebook by a 21 year old introducing her new partner to her wider family…who’d just left his wife of over 20 years and 2 devastated young children to be with her. Doubt they were all having a ‘wholesome weekend’ in his absence…you couldn’t make it up!

People can't talk about that on here as they'll get called an alcoholic! I'm sure some posters just pretend they don't drink or only have 1 glass of fizz when really they've hit it hard.

I've commented on a few posts about how much booze I'd take on a week long uk cottage holiday or what I drank over Easter weekend and people were shocked.

They'd be uproar over hard-core partiers (unless its took place at a black tie event obvs😅)

See this is such a change in generational thinking… Gen X would get off on the ‘blow by blow detail of an unwholesome weekend.’ That would be epic and a REAL weekend. Climbing some hill, walking a muddy field and drinking some oat milk? Boring as shit. Get a life.

No i like to see people happy and having a nice time life is to miserable. I would much rather see posts of people's holidays and fun days out then posts of people moaning about how ill they are or how much pain there in or checking themselves into a&e and not saying why pm me hun 🙄

‘Wholesome’ seems to be a buzzword amongst influencers and wannabe influencers. I find it tiresome too.

Sheeple.

I can’t say I’ve heard of a “ wholesome weekend” but I particularly enjoy the regular threads posted by lucysmam with posters talking about their very normal weekends in their lives
I find it comforting to know I’m pretty much the same as others

So anyone who lives their life differently to you can't be 'genuine'? Unless you identify with them they must be lying about how they spend their spare time?
That's insane.

It wouldn't be my choice of words and, tbh, it's not what I'd want from a weekend! But each to their own. Why does it irritate?

Surely we all don’t have the same weekend every single week? I’ve had wholesome weekends where I’ve spent the whole morning with a neighbour at the allotment and my kids have been off tech, we go home and pick up a greasy take away (ok that part isn’t so wholesome) then binge on Saturday night TV - or I don’t love cooking so my partner might make a “wholesome” meal (well it tends to be meat heavy and carb heavy with some veg so maybe not wholesome) - but that is a perfect weekend for me.

Just is another weekend where I’ve woken Up, done all of the groceries with family. Left my kids with parents to spend a whole evening getting dressed up and learning how to self apply make up with the help of YouTube before heading out to a bar or restaurant with the girls, having adult chat, laughing, dancing or whatever we want to do - or if not with the girls then it’s a night out with the partner going to one of our favourite restaurants by the river (we never leave our local area and are walking distance fro a river) - lots of cocktails, stumble back home and enjoy a wholesome night without the kids! Either way - that feels wholesome too.

I really don’t care what people do - but wholesome to one might not be wholesome to you - but I just see it as someone having (or at least wanting us to feel like they are) a nice weekend - whatever that looks like.

Bloody hate “wholesome” used like that. See also “cosy”.

I think OP is getting a bit of a hard time here. To a certain extent I understand what you mean OP, but for me I just find it irritating that people feel the need to post a sanitised and carefully curated version of their lives on social media. (Mind you I haven’t posted on social media for years) People often only post the highlights of what they have done, or what they feel best suits the image they should present to the world. So the “wholesome” weekend probably had about 2 hours of wholesomeness and 46 hours of slobbing out, watching Netflix while eating ice cream. They just don’t post that bit

So your genuine friends you follow say this? or are these randoms that you follow that make you feel jealous?

I have never heard the expression so where are you seeing it?

Why are you so offended by people who like hiking 🤣

It’s taken over from “making memories” and “blessed”.

I too love @lucysmam threads about people’s weekend plans. I find it very soothing and reassuring. A window into ordinary British life. I highly recommend.

Jesus…. Someone you know?!

Yes please
