Updates on FB

[jungletoes]

I've just posted on fb that we've had to change our plans today(due to have big family party tonight) as my dh has a tummy-bug. He's gone ballistic and demanding I delete it, a bit ott I feel. Would YOU be pissed off?

Well, I wouldn't be particularly happy to have the world know that I am vomiting and have diarrhoea. And that is what is implied through tummy-bug.

Couldn't you have just said that you've had to change plans?

Irrelevant I'm not him. Maybe he doesn't want them to know? Tmi? Has given other reason for avoiding?

Ultimately, delete. Who really cares? Hardly biggun is it?

Id go nuts. Wheres the dignity?

I wouldn't want the world and his wife knowing I had diarroea either and would ask you to take it down. Why did you feel the need to write that rather than he was just unwell, or, y'know not broadcast your life on FB

Obviously you're all sensitive souls too then.

Probably would have been better to ask first before broadcasting the state of his guts to the world... There is such a thing as TMI.

Maybe you feel that he is being oversensitive, but the fact is that it has upset him and it's just a FB post - is it really worth an argument over something you can simply delete?

No one wants their friends and family to imagine them shitting- and to be fair, that's exactly what people will have done when they read the update
Wouldn't bother me if DH said that I was ill, but specifying gastrointestinal issues would annoy me a bit!

Why are you putting such trivia on FB? Oh, wait a minute, that's what FB is for?

No need to put that! Massive over sharing!

Leave the bastard - and take the loo rolls with you.

Seriously, why on earth would you feel the need to share this information with the world when the only people affected by your change of plans are family members?

Shouldn't you be on the phone letting them know the party's off?

I'm not particularly sensitive but I am a grown up who doesn't need to post that my DH is spewing his guts up to see how many 'likes' or 'awww hun' comments it gets.

Why did you put it on fb in the first place? Presumably you let your family know by phone?

Fb is the strangest beast, or at least most many of the people who post on it are.

I wouldn't want all of the fb world knowing I had the shits, and I'm thick skinned like an elephant.

Just delete it you mad woman!

Why would you feel the need to post about your husband's dodgy guts on Facebook? NO ONE ELSE CARES ABOUT HIS SKITTERS/PUKE. NO ONE.

Delete it and move on.

If DH posted about the state of my digestive system on FB I would not be happy. Delete it.

Don't understand what the big deal is...i don't see the problem with you making that your status (it is the nature of FB and some people don't like it, but then they don't need to use it, it's ok). If your husband felt that poorly he wouldn't have enough energy to worry about it ; )

Sensitive soul? If failing to disclose information about my nearest and dearest's state of heath to others unless they expressly asked me to do so is an example of 'sensitivity', I'm guilty as charged.

You may have a hide like a rhinocerous but your dh clearly possesses some sense of decorum doesn't. Perhaps you'd benefit from a few sessions with Relate to resolve your incompatability.

I wouldn't be particularly happy either, mainly because I don't need random people knowing that I was puking and shitting.

The purpose of FB is not to broadcast every single thing that happens in your life. Just call/text/message the people who need to know, your 3rd cousin doesn't need the details.

Just why does anyone feel the need to broadcast the details of their lives and their loos on Facebook?

Yeah I'd be pissed off.......

I would cringe if someone declared to the world that I had a tummy bug. I've never been called sensitive.

Facebook is the devils work! Why would anyone be even remotely interested on whats happening during every minute of my day! Yes, Id be well pissed too...one good thing, I guess the local scallies might not attempt to rob you now they know youre at home!

FB is a bloody awful thing. The people who are on there the most are the least interesting people in the world but they love to tell everyone about every last detail of their sad and dull lives. Who cares that your partner is ill? Really? I am on his side - delete it.

I did not mean who cares in a horrible way either - more,who needs to know beyond you and him?
