Ladies, this week has been slow in posts. I have a little cyber vent so I am addings it here. Tell me your favourite thing about facebook and what pisses you off the most.
MY favourite thing? I love watching my friends babies across country hit milestones. I love being able to be part of my friends lives even though they live so far away.
My Least favourite thing: when parents post pictures of themselves from every angle but only have 10 or so pictures of their children, Also moms that post pictures from their Saturday night child free party where they are drunk and sloppy but no pictures of their child growing up.
Trust me, I understand how some people do not post any pics of your babe but when you post one picture of your little one in the bathtub and the next one is you pounding back shots, I judge you.
That's all. Share your love hate relationship with FB

Re: FACEBOOK!
I completely agree with you.
I love being able to keep in touch with all of my friends, regardless of where they are in the world. It's nice that I can easily share pictures and news of Aria and our family with everyone. I don't forget anyone this way!
I hate (right now) the days of thankfulness. Some are ok, because they're not constantly on facebook the other 335 days of the year complaining, but the majority of the people on my newsfeed doing it are the ones who whine and moan and complain and "fml" (which I HATE) the rest of the year. It's a bit insincere to me.
212 Facebook Admin.
I like watching kids grow up, sharing photos of my kids easily.
I guess the only think I don't like is it can be a total time suck. I really need to cut back.
Similar to Lancy (who saw that coming) I love being able to keep in touch with friends that I don't see IRL. But I also like the added bonus of learning more about some of my 212 mom friends!
I hate how people seem to think FB is Twitter...stop posting multiple statuses every day! Seriously, I have blocked several people for this in the past. I saw a funny e-card that said something along the lines of "This is Facebook, not your 1998 AIM status" and I about died! I think it is the people who post their every move that ruin Facebook.
My favorite thing is that I do not have to send pictures of the boys to people all the time. A friend who lives across the country didn't have a fb and was constantly asking me to email pictures of them to her and I finally told her to get a fb or shut up because I was so tired of emailing them to her. She got a fb and now I only have to mail pictures to my great aunts once a month because they can't figure out their microwave much less a computer.
My least favorite thing is awkward friend requests from people I barely know from HS who I don't really want to be friends with. I'm always afraid if I say no I will run into them somewhere and feel like a total b!tch.
Least favorite thing is all the "like or share if you love god, hate cancer, like puppies, or ignore if you love the devil and want puppies to be die of cancer" crap. And the people who post tons of "inspirational quote pictures" and funny pictures every day. Another hate is we have this "friend" who comments rude things on most of my posts, some of my fb friends from here may know who I'm talking about. I so badly want to delete him but it would just cause moredrama amongst our group of friends! He knows he irritates the snot outta people, and he does it on purpose. He just likes trolling!
I love sharing Emily's experiences with family and friends that are not close by.
I am tired of the THANKFULNESS posts right now but a friend of mine just lost her baby and it has been really good for her to post this.
I HATE people posting party pictures or status' how you are going to get wasted tonight EVERY weekend...where are your kids again?
Oh and right now people selling or promoting their body by vi shakes and shake parties....I see your pictures you havent lost any weight.
This is exactly what I was going to write for least favourite things. Also, "facebook will give $1 every time someone likes this horrible picture of a disfigured child/animal." I have called people out/defriended them for that one.
The best thing about facebook by far is that my family who are across the world feel as if they really know Lucas from the photos and videos that I have posted. This is so important to me because he will only be able to see them once a year, if that.
Favourite thing: Keeping in touch with friends and sharing pics of our families.
Least favourite thing: When people share or repost pictures that are practically porn on my feed. I usually hide those posts, but I have an uncle who generally posts good things on his feed, then every once in a while, something totally perverted that I could really do without seeing or knowing that he "likes" it.
I like being able to share and document pictures of Munchkin.
I HATE the random photos that pop up on my newsfeed with a tag line that says something along the lines of "'Like' if you think she's beautiful" or "One 'like' equals one prayer" or something equally dumb with pictures of sad/depressing things. One like does NOT equal one prayer and it won't bring world peace so stop raining on my newsfeed!
