FB rant

If I have learned one thing from my big reveal, it's that for my next pregnancy I will be telling no one except DH and my parents. I ended up telling way too many people, and people I didn't want to know found out and others got angry when they realized they were out of the loop.

Now there are crazy comment/status/message wars going on between GROWN women about this whole crazy ordeal. I feel like I'm in high school again.

Basically, I have a friend that is really a friend-enemy(DH and I despise her but she's super close with our BEST friend in the whole world). We decided not to tell her and our BFF agreed, cause she has a huge mouth! Well we told our BFF's mom and then her mom(who doesn't realize were not really close with the other friend-enemy) told her. They then swore to keep the secret spilling a secret from me and that she'd act suprised. However, instead she decided to act like she knew all along, and now friend's mom feels so wronged and feels like she looks bad. And the truth is, I am really mad at my BFF's mom but I just don't want to fuel the fire. Ugh.

If you are still reading, you must be bored, cause I'm not even sure I follow what I just typed. But I had to get it off my chest.

So definitely next time, DH, my parents(not his cause his mom would tell random strangers), and obviously me, will be the only ones in the know for my second pregnancy!

Sorry you didn't get the support and comments you were looking for.  I know how frustrating that can be.  Sometimes FB is more trouble than its worth.  I deactivated my page because of family outing me before other family members were told.  I'll put it back up once everyone knows.

Add me to the list of those with locked down walls. I didn't think I'd need to, but my parents didn't have FB last time and my dad went ahead and posted it on his page because we said they could tell people (meaning their friends and extended family). He's friends with some of my friends, so that effed everything up. Plus I'm not telling work for awhile yet and I have coworkers on there so I'm trying to keep everything hushed up!

Oh what a mess. Why are grown women arguing, on FB no less? This is going to be one of the happiest times of your life...wrong time and wrong place ladies!

My thoughts exactly! I mean it's one thing for her to be upset but to start posting statuses and comments about it on FB is ridiculous!

Yet another reason to add to the list of why I hate fb and think it ruins lives.

We're starting to tell more people now, but both of us deactivated the ability for people to post on our walls because we don't want people we want to tell in person/on the phone to find out via FB.

People are weird.  We told a friend on Wednesday and one of the first things out of her mouth was "Who did you already tell?" as in, who knew before me.  wtf.  ugh.

Ugh...sounds like someone needs a good tongue-lashing.
