I don't want you to think I don't want to see pictures of my kids or don't want anyone else to see them Angie lol. I love my boys and they are crazy, but too many pictures gets to be a bit much.
I'm the opposite. Real life I'll like, social media is where I go to complain about stuff that's really not a big deal.
HEY, my post was about someone at work.
She's annoying on facebook too though.
I have a good buddy on mine on FB. We ran cross country together at Simpson. He does a lot of triathlons and all his posts are about his training. "Bike xx miles today with the wind." "Ran xx miles today in xx.xx time. I feel great" "I had a double training session today with so and so and it was epic. Here are my times."
It gets annoying so fast. And when we meet up in person then I have to listen to him tell me all about it. It has driven a wedge in the friendship.
The kid thing is a hard line to walk for a mom - I will not post photos for a few weeks, and then get told by out-of-state friends/relatives that they miss seeing photos of our child, so then I go through a little flurry. Rinse and repeat. You try NOT to post a ton of photos out of respect for some, and then you get bombarded with requests from others. Sort of a no-win!
I have a friend who does CrossFit. Pretty much all she posts about.

There is a few I've deleted due to stupid *** game requests.
Recently I've had 3-4 single low 20 year old girls post about their pregnancy and how happy they are to be single and pregnant. If I simply commen LOL. Does that make me a bad person?
I am assuming he is also an Atlanta Falcons/Chicago Cubs fan?
Small world. I bet you could name drop him right now. Love the kid, just not reading his training log.
Facebook status: "Poor Barry. My heart is broken."
Me: "Who's Alfonso? You're boyfriend? Just a friend? Is he ok? Is it something with his family? Did you guys break up? Is he moving? Did he get fired? Did his car break down? Something happen to his cat?"
Facebooker: "Oh no, his name is Barry but everyone keeps calling him Alfonso"
Almost as bad is the 'one-upper'. No matter what story/experience you tell they have one that is a little better.
We have a friend who is not rich but likes to pretend she is. Constantly posting about buying this or that and ALWAYS has to throw the brand name in there.
"Bought my (fat ***) son this $2,000 GIANT bicycle."
"Going to pick up my new Land Rover tonight."
They buy expensive **** JUST so they can brag about it on Facebook, I'm convinced.

this is where you passive aggressively post how glad you are to be single with a real job, and couldn't imagine being dumb enough to be (or get someone) pregnant at your age.
