Why does my SIL never like my things on Facebook? (petty)

[loombandqueen]

I know this is very silly, but for some reason it annoys me a lot. I am not one to put loads of showoffy pics on Facebook, but every now and then will put on a pic of the family if we have done something special or if it's a birthday etc. I always like everything SIL puts on regardless of what it is just because she is my family and it's nice to see what they are up to. So why does she never like anything DH or I put on despite sometimes saying she saw the pics on Facebook and going on Facebook a lot so she will have seen our stuff. She always likes other family members stuff! We don't see much of her as she lives a few hours away and DH's family are not very close.

Does she comment on any of your pictures? Likes are a bit lazy really.

My mil and my husband's cousin 'like' every FB update we ever do. I find it annoying because it feels like they are doing it because they feel they should instead of genuinely liking the photo or status.

People use FB differently and you just have to let them get on with it.

I rarely 'like' anything. I will comment sometimes if it's something unusual or witty but not like, seems pointless really.

I can't stand that DH's family 'Like' everything I post. It's totally insincere and means nothing. MIL is always posting guff and it will have the statutory 6 likes, one from each of her children who's on FB. I don't get how it's "supportive" at all, unless you're only posting for likes.

No she never comments either. However, she always likes or comments on other family members stuff.

I genuinely like seeing pics of my nieces and thought she would too. Just seems strange she always likes pics of other dc in the family but not mine! I know I sound like I'm needy. I have plenty of friends but this gets to me!

well...either
she doesnt like it
hasnt seen it
has unfollowed you so she doesnt see your status
doesnt feel the need to like everything she sees

i have a friend that likes and comments on everything i put on facebook to the point other friends made a comment to me in RL......it gets very annoying

I hate it when idiots 'like' everything - it means nothing, they would leave comments if they wished

I'd like to see Facebook add 'Boos' ; then you could get your own back at people for not liking things.

"This is SIL on my lovely holiday!" ... Loombandqueen booed this.

I bet she isn't following you.

I rarely like anything.

Could she have 'unfollowed' you and she doesn't actually see anything? I did it accidentally once with my cousin

Yy
A like option
A boo option
A meh option

Lol at "Booing" things!

She hasn't unfollowed me because she has said things about my pictures before like 'I see you went to ....'.

Totally love the boo option.

I have a 'liker regardless of what it is' on Facebook, you can guarantee no matter what old shite I post on there she'll have liked it within minutes.

my rule of thumb for Facebook is, if something annoys, upsets or irritates you enough to warrant starting a thread on mumsnet about it, then you're probably too delicate or not really cut out for using social media.

I am sure you are right ActingBusy because I am quite offended by it. However I wouldn't feel the same if it wasn't my family. And if she didn't consistently like everything all other family members put on (I know I'm emotionally unstable because I've checked!)

Checked she always likes things not that I am emotionally unstable.

Does anyone remember when facebook had a "dislike" option on posts?! I'm not sure if they were public "lilwelshyrs dislikes this"... It didn't last obvs...

My DSIL likes a lot of my stuff. We are also friends with my DH Aunt who "likes" her posts. At a recent family get-together, the Aunt was very derogatory about a recent post DSIL had put up :(
I also run a small business and have a facebook page for it... It has lots of page "likes" but "likes" don't equate sales sadly. It's all a bit hollow IMO
I wouldn't worry too much. She might be looking at your posts and enjoying them without having to acknowledge them the facebook way. I wouldn't worry :)

She thinks you're a C*? or she just doesn't feel the need? either one of those two things.

But does it actually matter which?

Unfriend her see if she likes that

I think it's because she thinks I'm a c* though I don't know what I've done wrong. Despite all the good advice that it doesn't mean anything it is still annoying me.

I told my DH I was going to unfriend her but he doesn't want to start a family rift over it! I am tempted though

"...it is still annoying me."

Possibly the reason 'likes' were introduced.

or option three - because she actually communicates with you in real life she doesn't feel the need to like it on FB? So if im going to see someone tomorrow i will wait until i see them to say, oooh, looks like you had fun whereas if its someone i don't see then i'll hit like.

Eitehr way, its not important, it really isn't.

Stop letting it annoy you. You are in control of your emotions, just stop. So what if someone doesn't like you, care about you, isn't interested. Get over it not everyone is going to like you. You have plenty of friends so invest your energy in people who do like you.
