Why would she put that on my facebook?

SIL just put on my facebook - 3 years of marriage - maybe time for a new chapter?

Obviously meaning babies which I expect from a random friend, but from my SIL? She KNOWS that I had a miscarriage and had surgery and am not pregnant now b/c we just haven't gotten pregnant again.

So why on earth would she of all people put that on my facebook? Annoying!!

(oh and this not the bird girl).

Re: Why would she put that on my facebook?

  • Wow... That is pretty hurtful.  I am sure she didn't mean it that way, but I could see why you are upset about it. 
  • Indifferent WOW! I would have deleted that comment and emailed or called her to tell her how hurtful that was. I'm sure she probably didnt mean to be hurtful.

    People always feel like they have a right to pry into our lives and comment on when we will have a baby. My mom still does this even though I've had countless talks with her. She told me the other day how when her grand daughter turns 5 she is going to buy her a horse. Grrrrr.

  • Definitely would be deleting that comment. 

     I'm sorry.  Right at the time I found out I was pg with K, SIL posted on my wall asking "you wouldn't keep a secret from me if you had something to share?"  She didn't know, and admitted when H asked her that she was just being nosey.  I would have been really upset if I wasn't pg at the time.

    I agree, she probably meant to say it in a hopeful way but it just comes off bad. I'm sorry.

  • I know she didn't mean it to be hurtful necessarily - it's just one of those things people say. If it were anyone not close to me it wouldn't bother me at all, but for someone that knows the situation...just sort of strange, you know?

    We'll be there for memorial day so I guess I'll give her an update then. Maybe she just forgot all the drama since I don't see her all the time??

  • Sorry hun, she shouldn't have left that comment, I agree that I'm sure she didn't mean it to be hurtful....but she should have thought twice about how it might be rec'd on your end.... 

     

    Okay -now this is just a vent....but

    i know everyone loves fb and it's all the rage to post your "status" and comments, but I feel that things can be very private & maybe you don't want your personal stuff on line.....maybe someone posts something that you didn't want to share....but you don't log in for a day or 2 to be able to delete it....then it's out there for everyone to read/comment on.

    Ughh.  One example - i had to open a new fb acct but couldn't add my h b/c he was associtated with my old acct....so he had to "unmarry" me >  to "single" status on the old acct so that I could add him as my hubby to my new acct.

    In that little bit of time b4 he was added to the new acct - i got tons of texts and msgs on FB - "are you ok?, what happened?" etc.  Then his bro (who is a d0uche bag)  hit the "like" button to his single status...that hurt....geez...it was just a mess!

    Angry This is why I took so long to join FB and stayed on Myspace. You had so much more control of you rpivacy with Myspace. There isn't any reason why FB can't have you approve comments and tagged pictures first!! For this reason if and when we do get pregnant I will "lock" my wall so no one can post anything until I'm ready for the news to come out.

    I did this for the few weeks in between when we told close friends/family but didn't come out to the whole world yet. I do not regret it at all!

    Yeah, that is strange that your SIL would say that knowing everything she does...I'd probably delete the comment too. And honestly the first thing that went through my mind with "new chapter" was like move on, like divorce...lol. I know that's not funny but just the way it was phrased I was like "Huh? Why would she say that about someone's anniversary?!"

    Ha! This would be hilarious if that's what she actually meant!
