Think I'm done with FB :(
Becuase I can't be done with MIL. I've asked her several times that when I change my profile picture could she please not change hers to the same damn thing. Everytime, every freaking time. She also takes all the pictures and puts them on her page. Why you may ask? Becuase I told her I didn't want to accept her friends as mine b/c I didn't want them (strangers) and their friends (strangers) having access. So , what does she do? Gives them access to pictures anyways. It's so stupid but Im' so fed up.
That, and I took Caroline over there last night for them to watch her for an hour. I almost canceled, my PT appointment b/c Caroline appeared to be coming down with something. I didn't want to make MIL cry though so I brought Caroline over. This is the 4th time now that when she has known she is going to watch Caroline that she has invited people over so they can see her. I told her she was coming down with something and she didn't need to be around people. I told her that I'd just take her home and she finally got it and canceled her little impromptu cocktail hour. I'm so done with her treating Caroline as this little doll. She's a person, respect her as such. Damn.

My Wedding Bio! Not updated in a LONG time!
Uh, this is annoying. My MIL does the same thing with FB, everytime ANYONE posts a picture of Luke she reposts it on her wall. But, I have made sure that I've told people ANY picture of him needs to be set to private so that only people in our lives can see it. So I *think* when she reposts them still only people friends with me can see it.
I also would block her. My MIL has been off blocked for a bit, but I think she is going back on, with a few extra people.
I posted I was having a bad day and wanted to cry. Then my mom's friend called her and said, "I'm really worried about Erin". Really? Did I sound suicidal? No, I'm having a crappy day and I"m pregnant so wanted to cry, blahhh. FB is the devil at times.
I would block her. Don't let her control what you do.
I struggle with whether or not to block my MIL. She never talks to us unless on the phone (I posted her tantrum when we didn't' call her for a month after the initial birth announcement). She is an avid farmville player, but can't manage to reply to my messages to her on FB because "SHE refuses to communicate with us through such a non personal means. She DESERVES a phone call". But then when we were at her house last, her friends say "Everytime someone comes to the house, she makes them sit and look at all the pictures you post on FB of her grandson". And she copies our pictures to her wall...but never even says anything to me about them... This just irks me.
I would definitely block her and only let certain people see photos of Caroline. Or, even better, announce in a status update that you have new photos (blocking her from that one status update, of course) and then post the link to the photos on a photo sharing site.
I hope DH helps you wrangle his mom into some semblance of respect. She needs some serious intervention!
