Added most of DH family on FB
Forums:
It is bad enough that MIL spent the night (weekend) with a friend at BM house but she recently added most family (cousins/aunts/family friends) and reached out to ppl in DH family whom she never knew too well and some didnt even really like her!! I'm so confused as to why she wants a connection with DH family so badly...what is her deal?
It is her way of exerting
It is her way of exerting control and getting under your skin. Our BM does the exact same thing, so DH and I not only deleted the entire family, but we blocked them all to boot.
She can have them, I have DH.
I don't want to make her feel
I don't want to make her feel like we are threatened by that in any way its just irritating. She's fb friends with us too but its like, why are you friends with his cousins who have seen you twice?!
Close off your Facebook. I
Close off your Facebook. I actually got real tired of the drama on FB, about FB, etc. I shut my acct down and I swear, my life is simpler now.
^^THIS^^ I deleted my account
^^THIS^^ I deleted my account for almost 2 years once and it was UNBELIEVABLE how much better life was. I have an account now, got sucked back in due to thinking it was an easy way to stay connected to family that moved away, but, it has worn thin again and I am just over it. I have not logged on in probably 2 weeks. It is really quite addictive and to be free of that constant wondering of what is on the stupid news feed is very nice.
She just wants to remind you,
She just wants to remind you, once again, that she was there first. Annoying.
Wait, I can't get past your
Wait, I can't get past your MIL spent the weekend at BM's.
WTF?!?!?!?!?
It sounds to me like she's
It sounds to me like she's trying to make her presence known... kind of like a "I was here first"
what a weirdo. First off, I'd suggest get rid of FB if you can, it's so much drama. and Second just ignore her, it just shows how pathetic she is.
funny thing is I WAS HERE
funny thing is I WAS HERE first. I was DH's first girlfriend/ when they were together I was the ex! Which probably stings even worse knowing she just had his child and he married me (when we had no children)
oh well sh*t, scratch that
oh well sh*t, scratch that thought then. I'd chalk it up to her just being a desperate weirdo.
she isnt as relevant as the
she isnt as relevant as the wife. THESE BMs need to stop lol
My SD's BM does the same type
My SD's BM does the same type of crap. She not only is friends with both DH's sisters on fb, but she actually has them listed as her sisters. Mind you, DH and BM were never married AND she added them as "sisters" after they were no longer together lol. I am sure it was meant for me to see. I try not to engage in drama with BM, but it's hard not to get irritated when you see things like that. I think she just wants to remind you that she is not going anywhere.
Facebook is trouble in our
Facebook is trouble in our situations. I personally use the block feature like its my best friend. BM, SS, MIL, boss, office gossip, annoying posters you name it. Drama gets blocked. I use it strictly to keep up with my old college roommates & family events, as they all seem to be scheduled through Facebook events. Block & move on. Drama free as much as possible!
I don't really see it as
I don't really see it as being a big deal. BM is on all of my DH's relatives facebook granted they have a daughter together and was still a "part" of the family before I came around. Also they haven't been together in almost 20 years lol. If she was apart of the family before and its just facebook I wouldn't sweat it, now if shes inviting herself to bbqs and coming over for holidays, then Id have a problem.
My grandparents used to all get together with their new husband and wives but there was kids involved.
