FB status pet peeve

I get so annoyed when people constantly update their status with things their kids are doing. Like, no one is ever going to find your kids as interesting/funny as you do. Posting something cute every once in awhile is cool, but when you're updating your status 3 or 4 times a day with every.little.thing? Goodness, that makes my blood boil.

Am I alone in this?

I have someone that has been posting mushy crap on her status to her husband that left for basic. Every day it's I love my hubby so much. He's my rock, my sun, my moon and it's number of days until he returns. That drives me nuts.

It depends on my mood at the time. Usually I just scroll past or if they're particularly bothersome, I'll just hide them from my feed.

I deleted a FB friend (one whom I wasn't especially fond of to begin with) when she posted about her child going "poopy in the potty".

Yeah, I don't care about your kids bowl movements.  Buh bye.

I hate when they update their status 3, 4, 10 times every day. You aren't that interesting! The only time I updated my status that much is when I was providing updates on my mom's car accident for all of her friends. And even then I tried to keep it to a minimum.

It doesn't bother me. In fact, I like seeing the pics of my friends' kids or reading something they did or said that was really cute or funny. Most of my friends update FB every few days, or maybe share a picture or something more often but "real" status updates are not multiple times a day. I have a few friends who post about their kids many times a day and it's all mundane stuff, like "Breakfast was pears and toast. She loved the toast but not the pears." That kind of bugs me, but nowhere near as much as the Yelp "so and so checked in at Starbucks". Those bug the crap out of me when they're constant.

Of course 65 percent of what I post anywhere online is kid related, so I'm sure I cross the line for some people. Whatever.

Exactly, 3,6, 12 updates a day are ridiculous. You (or your kids) aren't that interesting. And the potty posts are the worst. No one cares about your kid going #2 in the toilet. Trust me on that.

I agree. Most ppl that get super annoyed though are ppl that do not have children, so they do not understand.

There's a big difference between posting a cute/funny story about something your child did/said. I'm talking about play-by-play, multiple daily updates of your LO's day. No one is interested in that.

I really hate it too. I cant stand twitter and it's super annoying when people use FB like twitter. If I wanted a play by play of you or your LO's day then I would follow you on twitter...oh thats right! I don't have a twitter account.

I hate when people post multiple status updates a day, kids related or not it's annoying. One of my FB friends would post 20 times a day and she took the month of December "off of FB to focus on what's important during the holidays". How about instead you limit the posts all year long and then you don't have to take a month off and be so dramatic? She posts more in a week than I post all year.

You are not alone in this. I adore my daughters, I think they're hilarious, awesome, and amazing, but I realize that no one else really feels this way and if I don't want to drive people nuts, I can't update every single thing.

I will say that I do add pictures quite often on FB, but I try to a bunch of pictures at a time, like once a week so that it's not every day or multiple times a day that people get alerted about it.

I, too, can't stand the constant FB status updates, kid-related or not.  There are some people that seriously update their status at least 5 times a day.  Another annoyance?  When people post ridiculous pictures of their meals.  Why does anyone give a fluck about what you're eating right now?

But I have something that's even worse. I have several friends that, when on VACATION, will literally post their entire freaking itinerary complete with pictures several times a day.  Friend once went to Disney with her hubby and daughter, did this exact thing, and then seemed peeved when I didn't ask how her vacation went.  Um because I already freaking knew how it went!!  You gave everyone a play by play the whole dang week!  I mean, come on people.  Put down the phone/laptop and go spend time with your family instead of constantly updating your shnit on FB.  That's why they are called vacations.  Post pics when you get home.

If a FB friend posts just way too much and I find it over-the-top annoying/drama/AWing/whoa-is-me/etc. , I just keep them out of my news feed. If after a while I realize I'm not visiting their page for any kinds of updates on their life, then I delete them as friends. There's very few of my FB friends that I will tolerate that from, and it's mostly the people that are in my every day real life and not primarily on FB.

Nasty.  

Also, I don't have kids.  That doesn't mean I don't want to hear about other people's kids.  Just not posts about your kids poops.  Or how they spent every minute of their day.  Big difference.

Yes, he's mine. Yes, he's aware I'm a horrible mother. Yes, I plan on teaching him to act just like me.
No, CPS hasn't come to rescue him yet.
Yes, I'll make sure to let him know how sorry you feel for him.

Gross - posting a photo of your kid's poop on them/in a potty/diaper/etc is a one way ticket to auto-hide images for me. Nobody wants to see your kid covered in sh!t.

Adult shyte is fine. It's the kid's shyte that we don't want to hear about.

I have a girl on FB that I went to high school with, and she updates her status several times a day and they are so bi-polar. One minute she's talking about how amazing her DH is or that her daughter learned a new word, the next she's saying she's upset over something someone said/did, or being extremely passive-aggressive. I had to block her statuses because I had gotten so sick of it, I've never seen someone try to start so much drama on FB.

 Also, my older brother is ridiculous on FB. He lives in AZ and is constantly posting statuses or pictures of the weather and how amazing it is, and if anyone else comments about the weather where they live he attacks them and brags about how much better AZ is than anywhere else in the country. I really want to just delete my FB sometimes haha.

When O was taking a dump today at school, he informed me that was also the toilet he puked in yesterday.  Its the middle one.  Because the others are clogged.

THIS! Don't they ever speak to one another in person? Why not say "I am proud of you/I love you" in person? Do you have something to prove? ugh. 

I draw the line at poop in the potty shots. I cannot stand this.
