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?

I think this says more about you than it does with them. Someone sharing what a nice weekend they've had I can only imagine how irritating that must be for you 🙄

People are missing the point. You’re not angry at them having a wholesome weekend! It’s that they need to a) jump on a social media trend b) brag about being “wholesome” and c) weekend was probably only 5% wholesome - whatever that actually means 🤣

So why follow them if they are so 'boring' why dont the people following get a life instead?

We have two teen boys
Wholesome is not what they are after!
(nor should it be)

But if it wasn’t wholesome they would be bragging about how many cocktails they drank m
Or bragging how far their child swam
Or bragging about their garden makeover

Doesn’t matter which part of social media you engage with it’s a cesspit of bragging

Who cares? If it makes them happy just let them get on with it

Haven't heard the term, but I'm absolutely sure there's nothing wholesome about this 😳.

To be honest things like that don’t annoy me. But I do have some friends and people I know who curate and plan their social media and that really irks me because it feels false.

Its the fact that we know it's all such cheesy bollocks.

It reminds me of a FB post one of the mums at school had written. She had a lovely picture of her three year old with a caption. "The most beautiful girl in the world inside and out. I love you to the moon and back. Can't believe I get to be your Mummy ❤️"

In the comments a few days later someone had written "You are so blessed she is the best."
To which the mum had replied "God, she has been a right little shit today, you can have her"

There's the reality!

All this wholesomeness is just bollocks.

I dont post updates on SM but I find the ones that complain about people bragging are the ones who have jealousy issues and other weird inadequacy issues going on, if I find someone I follow annoys me I stop following them, which I guess gives them an excuse to post on MN asking people to solve the puzzle of why people unfollow now they are losing sleep about why they have been unfollowed

I think some people need to stop using social media if they cant handle it

So what? I struggle to see how this could annoy anybody. Not really. If they want to post it just let them post it and move on

I don’t think I’ve ever had a wholesome weekend

I see it is someone who loves their child others see it as some long drawn up soap opera on how the mother is having secret meetings with some government department so they can come up with a way for the mother to make other people feel they love their children the same and now have to have endless nightmares on how a terrible parent they are and now it is all the mothers fault

I don't agree with posting every time you sneeze, but lots of people do stuff like hiking or dog walking. It's not unusual or unbelievable.

A mum might have had a really shitty weekend with her kids, it's been long and hard and she's felt like giving up but that little Facebook post even if it's not necessarily true might have just given her the little lift she needed to feel better.

Just let her post it without judgment ffs

I like to read the hungover threads 😆 nothing wholesome about feeling like that I’m tellin ya !!

OP, what particularly is triggering you?

Might be worth considering this? I mean this in a kind way.

Also to note, social media I believe depresses people, so perhaps have a little break?

An opposite to a sordid weekend 😁

People get irritated by all sorts of trivial crap and post about it. So what?

This kind of patronising nonsense is far more annoying. Esp the disingenuous use of ‘kind’!

I guess this is why some people love all the insta bollocks and some hate it. I'm not on FB/insta etc anymore as it's just dross I can do without. I just can't bear the fakeness.

I don't care for the people want to do it but surely you can see why some people find things annoying that you don't? Or does nothing bug you on SM?

Calling people pathetic for such an insignificant thing is actually horrible. You actually sound bitter and unhappy.

Oh god I hate all the “why does it annoy you?” and “if you don’t like it just scroll on” faux po-faced bollocks that always happen on threads about sm.

People can get irritated by anything they like on sm. and post about it here.

And if you don’t agree, or feel vastly superior about how you use / don’t use social media and need to let everyone know that, you are perfectly entitled to well, scroll on.

So my friend is his sister (and really shocked by the whole thing). Known her & him since secondary school.

Another friend has started describing her weekends as ‘wholesome’ to describe a day with her children where they visit a farm or potter at home playing board games…that to me better matches the word 😂 it definitely seems to be an ‘in’ word I haven’t noticed people using before the past year…

You think it’s jealousy issues?

Couldn’t possibly be concern that they might have two teens who, luckily don’t buy into the social media claptrap, might spiral into a pit of feeling inadequate depression because they think (whilst still so young) they are already failing? Or think they need to pump steroids into their muscles to obtain that perfect male physique.

Because social media never uses algorithms to feed users poisonous content does it?

I don’t need to go work, have an amazing H, two super teens, what have I got to be jealous of? (No benefits claimed either)
I have enough, I know that, enough love, time and money. But that’s not going to make anyone else feel better if I post pictures about it all over SM.

It’s not jealously it’s concern on what SM breeds within society. It’s poison, wholesome or not.

But is it a nice weekend they had?
Or is it 6 very curated photos, in a bog standard field next to a motorway made to look like bucolic bliss?
