Say it with me, folks... "F U, Facebook!"

Not a pr announcement... just a literal PLAY BY PLAY of her labor.  Her husband, who I used to be friends with and am now about to unfriend because of his belief that the world revolves around him, has been posting updates at least every half hour with her progress.  Your wife is having a baby.  WE GET IT. Seriously, I'm happy for you, but NO ONE cares how many centimeters dilated she is or how far apart her contractions are. Are ya kiddin me? Start a group message and text your family/close friends if you think they really wanna know, but the majority of your 746 facebook friends don't give a shit. Plus, how about you put the effing phone down and cherish the experience with your wife!!! UGH!  Okay, sorry, I just really needed to vent. Thanks for "listening!"

Re: Say it with me, folks... "F U, Facebook!"

  • Believe it or not, my SIL (the one I posted about yesterday who blindsided us with a pr announcement) and MIL basically gave a play by play of the first baby's birth. No thank you!!! I definitely know how you feel...I would be unfriending that person ASAP!

    Posting how many centimeters your wife is on FB is NOT cool!
    His last status update was exactly this: "7cm." That's it.  Face, meet palm!  

    ETA: And people are liking it. Ew.

    When you've been married this long, you need a ticker to remind you.

    Baby Boy M - 08/01/2013
  • In case anyone is wondering, she's now at "10cm and it's time to push." STEP AWAY FROM THE PONE and be there for your wife!!! Enjoy the magic that is happening!  I swear, if he posts a picture of the baby as soon as he's born I'm gonna lose it.

  • I'm pretty sure I would have blocked and unfriended her around 5 cm.

  • Gross, I hate it when people do that. MH's half sister's mom posted a play-by-play of her(the sister's) labor. "Going to the hospital!" "8 CMs!" "Ready to push!" Um, I don't want to know!!! I'm surprised she didn't say "she got a 3rd degree tear and crapped on the table, but baby is here!"

  • I had to see it through til the end to see how bad it was gonna get. I hit unfriend when he posted a picture of the baby 8 MINUTES after he was born. Eyeroll.

  • Gross. Sometimes I get annoyed with my husband because he is sooooooo private while I tend to be fairly open, but then I see stuff like this and realize it could be so much worse.

  • Ridiculous. I can't stand that this is normal in society. What a great memory. "Remember when Johnny was born and you were on Facebook?!"

    Yea, I would too if this were my H doing this. But he has enough sense to keep personal private things just that - private.

    Some people have no filter whatsoever...smh
