Irritating FB "friends"

ForTheLoveOf PinkForTheLoveOf Pink member
in TTC after 35

I have a friend on FB that is always yammering on about childbirth and the fact that it should be "natural", etc. She constantly quotes books she is reading ...like the day she writes some crap about the woman can be in charge of her body and it is her that controls what happens......OMG really ....so the fact that I now know I can control my body ...geez then were is my "au natural baby", lady? Today we have her "info" on the huge amount of c-sections the hospital does. Yes I do believe "society" has just accepted c-s as the norm and many don't even try to have a vag. birth, however I think there could be many other issues that have legitimately raised the rates of c-s. Sorry for the huge rant today she just makes me rage. I hope it is not just me that would take offence to this. But I guess everyone has a opinion (I guess i should keep it in mind).

    Sounds to me like a friend whose posts it is time to "hide" (not delete the friend, just hide the posts so you don't have to read them).  I have done this with a few annoying FB friends I don't have the chutzpah to defriend and it has greatly decreased my irritation level.

    I've done the 'hidden post' thing as well for a few FB people...it has really helped! Try it!

    And about her opinion...I would feel like responding something to the effect of "if it's 'my' body and under 'my' control, then it's MY choice!" So what's it to her?

    The "hide posts by..." button was made for such occasions as this.

    Just like everyone else has said -  I say hide her posts.  I've had to do that with my BFF because she is now pregnant and b!tching and complaining about EVERY.LITTLE.THING that has to do with pregnancy.  I just want to smack her upside the head and tell her to lay off...she's lucky she's pregnant.  But due to the fact that she's more like a sister to me (and to save the peace), I've just hidden her posts.  GL

    Self-righteous people like that really annoy the hell out of me.  I always wonder what lies underneath their seemingly "perfect" exteriors.  Hide her and GL! :)
