12 years ago today...ugh! really?

I might be alone in this, but I cannot stand facebook posts that say things like:

12 years ago today, I gave birth/married the most wonderful baby girl/man in the world. He/she fills my life with laughter and joy. I can't believe it has been so many years since the most important day of my life. My little girl is growing up. I look forward to the remaining years/years to come with my daughter/husband. Etc...

It's sweet to remember those days and there's nothing wrong with a "Happy Birthday/ Anniversary Daughter/Husband" on your status, but those are just annoying! Does anybody actually read through the entire post?!

Perhaps I'm just cold and heartless.

end rant.

Re: 12 years ago today...ugh! really?

  • I guess my tolerance for FB annoyances is pretty low because those type of posts don't bother me.   If they are thinking about a special anniversary or event that particular day, then they should feel free to express how they feel and why it's special to them.

    I get more annoyed with these type of rambling updates that mark nothing special and tend to happen every single day for some people:   "going to the gym"     or  "long line at the bank today"

  • That is grounds for me to use the "hide" button.

  • They annoy me, too.

  • I'm a hypocrite.

    I roll my eyes when I see it on for other people, but I LOVE it when someone close (parents/brother/aunt/uncles) do this for our family. They usually include old photos and it's just a way for us to reminisce and communicate.

  • I usually don't mind those... unless it's posted by a person who already posts enough about their spouse/child. 

    I probably post the "I'm so blessed to have a wonderful man in my life" once every couple months, but generally try to avoid mentioning DH in posts.

    Agreed. Yesterday was the 1-year anniversary of my Uncle's death and my Aunt (his sister) posted a photo of them from 20+ years ago...

    Yeah. I defriended a girl who talked about her son's potty training for 5 weeks straight.

    Haha, I JUST defriended someone who mentioned how their daughter is now having more solid poops and she kept posting links to great potty-training techniques and "cool" looking diapers/diaper covers

    I think that's sweet for sure! I love old pictures that make their way to the world wide web!

    Anything else is fine, I just see so many "X years ago [this happened]".

  • I agree with you on this, it does bother me. Though for some reason it bothers me more with children then spouses. Unless the are chronic lovey spouse posters, then all best are off.
