Dear FB, Thanks for the punch in the heart. *pg/us warning*

pkaren

So I went on FB to wish a friend a happy birthday and there staring me in the face is a 13 week ultrasound pic. From a friend I unsubscribed from. She's the person who announced she was pg before the pee even dried on the stick at 3.5 weeks and then complained about every little pg symptom. Boo freaking hoo.

Now I'm going to admit that I'm a bad person.

1) I drank a little too much wine one night and replied to one of her FB statuses that she should be happy, many women would kill to be in her place. She never replied back.

2) I secretly wished she would have a miscarriage just so she wouldn't be so smug.

I'm glad she's 13 weeks and everything looks perfect, but I feel like she's rubbing it in my face. I know that's actually irrational, but I'm allowed to be irrational sometimes.

That's all. Thanks for listening to my weekly vent.

I'm so sorry you had to see that. Nice job, FB.

Now, you might catch hell from people about your second secret, but if I'm being entirely honest, I've been there, too. Grief makes us think crazy things. The world is just so unfair.

After my last FB stab in the heart a few days ago, which left me in tears that yet ANOTHER friend was pregnant and due when I should have been, my husband said "You need to stop checking FB." I've already blocked a ton of people who announced a pregnancy or have kids that they constantly post about, but more and more kept joining the ranks.

I'll be honest that it's been awkward not to check it, but overall I think this will be better for me. I haven't deleted my account because I may want it again some day when this is all over. Plus, I will probably still go on from time to time to request free samples when I see them posted on the freebies blogs I follow.

I hope I don't offend anybody...It did come out way harsh and I would have hated myself for even thinking it if it had actually happened. It's just hard to be happy for some people.

Ughhh FB is dumb sometimes. Like having to see one of my non-pregnant facebook friends congratulate on of their pregnant friends and then a picture of their friends ultrasound shows up on my feed. I hope you can follow that. It sucks.

 

((HUGS)).

Sorry PK.  That's the exact reason I deactivated my FB on a whim.  That and what CCine is talking about.

People just need to not be dumb.  Is that too much to ask?

Stupid FB...and stupid ppl who post everything on FB. Ugh.

I forgot about that! If I block somebody, it means I don't want to see anything from them. Ever.

I wasn't offended. I was afraid people were going to feel snarky and jump all over you, so I addressed it first.

I think the US pics are the worst.  Everytime I see one I want to vomit.  I don't know if that is because we found out we lost our son at our AS scan or what, but I hate US pics.  Sorry FB had to be and aweful reminder for you.

:-( I have decided to take a FB break for quite a while. I don't mind hearing from my BFF and SIL about their pregnancies, but those random girls from high school (why am I FB friends with them, anyway?)? That just hurts.

I'm sorry you had to deal with that kind of crap. Sometimes it just makes me think - so if I go all obnoxious like that and announce right away and complain about every symptom will everything turn out ok? Because at least on my feed, I've never seen one of those pregnancies end in a miscarriage.
