My best friend is at the hospital being induced. They told us, and family but that is it. They are very private people.

Her loudmouth cousin is posting ALL OVER FB ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!! It is SO RUDE!!!!!!!! Hubby told me to keep my trap shut but I couldn't help myself and I msg'd her and said Hey Maybe We Should Let Them Announce It.....!

Anyway just pissed me off!! I hate social media sometimes! Like let the poor girl enjoy her first baby and enjoy announcing it to the world WHEN SHE IS READY!!!!!!!

Someone I know posted that everyone should think good thoughts for another mutual acquaintance was being admitted for psychiatric treatment! If I was depressed and suicidal, the LAST thing I would want is it being broadcast everywhere! Luckily I don't think she ever saw it... but still.

oh man. i have been in your shoes...when my best friend was being induced with her son, people knew she was overdue and kept pestering her via fb. it made me so angry i finally snapped at one of them, and said something like 'they are having a child for crying out loud...not buying a new car. they will tell you the details when they are damn good and ready!'

probably not my most diplomatic moment. but it sure shut her up. :innocent:

Ugh, that drives me nuts. It's usually the same people who don't think about that kinda thing in real life either.

Although it's almost as annoying when people think we need a blow by blow, hour by hour update of their labor and delivery via Facebook. It's one thing to post pictures and updates of the key moments. It's another thing to fill in everyone you know on every. single. gory. detail!

Thats so freaking obnoxious. Until the parents post about the mom being in labor or the kid being born, or any other such important news, even if you know the story you keep your mouth shut. It's not your news to share.

We have that problem with my inlaws and FB. If we have news to tell them but dont want it blasted on the internet we have to specifically tell them to stay quiet. Its so frusterating.

Yes.... I have many FB friends who have done that. Mobile pics of them in L&D, then 82273464 pics of various parts of the process, before and after..... Thanks guys I don't need to see the epidural going into your back! Or the naked baby screaming in the isolette! Or poor mama looking like hell 20 minutes after!

I don't have any pics of the labor process, thank God... and I do have some from the OR and his delivery but those are not on FB and no one has ever seen them except hubby and me!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't want to know about your cervix. I dont care how dilated it is now and Im not going to care how dilated it is in an hour. I do not need to know, period.
Posts about your girlie bits get you removed from my FB feed real quick.

^^ THIS!! 'Cept I'm not on FB (and this sort of nonsense is one of the major reasons why). Even in real life, there are really only a few close friends with whom I'm comfortable talking about things like that. For casual acquaintances, coworkers, etc. ... do not overshare. That is a really good way to ensure I will be running away from you at every opportunity. :o

Weeelllll looks like my message to Busybody Cousin worked, she removed her posts. HA. I bet I wasn't the only one who said something.....

Seriously sometimes I think social media is just out of control! I mean don't get me wrong, I like me some FB... I find it entertaining and playful and even helpful in a lot of ways.. but christ, people just don't get how to use it!!!

This reminds me of my AUnt and cousin right now. I am my cousin and his wife's doula. And my Aunt told me she will be watching my FB to see if I am leaving to go to a birth.( As I often post about it.) I told her there was no way I was posting this one and risking spilling any news I have no right to spill to family,lol!! My poor cousin is past her due date and feeling the heat... hopefully THEY will be posting news soon. ( Cuz I am not posting it,lol!!)

I am having mean FB thoughts right now and am struggling not to post them publicly. :sigh:

I am also having mean Ikea thoughts.

And a few other mean thoughts that I won't even categorize.

I need to chill out.

:mallet: <-- or maybe have someone give me a good scolding.

Sorry, FG, that went off in a random direction. But I am in the midst of a Mean Thought Muddle and your thread was accessible. :teehee:

RR when I feel the mean creaping in I uhh, get some husband assistance to, umm, make it go away.

OR if he's not available a good rock n Roll CD to sing to at full blast scream in my car works too.

See you can scream bad words and the music covers up the bad words and you feel better.

Good songs for this: ELO's Evil Woman, any Def Leppard, Beast of Burden...

back on thread....


EXACTLY. Sometimes FB is just TMI. :mallet:

RR you are completely entitled to a Mean Thought Muddle. And you should share it. Because everything you share brings joy and giggles to others :teehee:
