FB oversharing should be outlawed

in 3rd Trimester

I already think it's weird when people openly discuss that they are TTC...amongst family members, it seems even more awkward.  but seriously my SIL just posted a status update on FB that she and my brother can start "making babies" in 2 days.  ick...

    Ugh - ick is right!

    Is she going to post when she is supposed to get her period too, so everyone can keep up with her & check on her to see if she is pregnant?

    EW, I would never share that on FB!

    Gross!

    And I don't like the "dilated so many CM" status updates either...

    I put that in the same category as posting your LOs sitting on the toilet while potty training. Also, with the flu season, posting something about stuff coming out both ends of you. Blegh...seriously? Thanks for alerting everyone you have the shiits.

    So you're saying it wouldn't be very classy for me to announce I'm about to push out my baby on FB? ;)

    But yes OP, that's gross. It's nice they're TTC, but to announce it is... overshare...

    i've already had the joy of hearing about it for about 6 months too.  i was excited at first...now, i'm already over it and they haven't even started TTC.

    Yeah, had a friend do that, I blocked her updates as soon as I read, "MP fell out, water broke, dilated 4 cm!!" 

    Yuck!

    Eew.  I hope they don't post an updated status again in two days...

    One of my friends (estranged, but you know how it can be on FB) has been giving updates on a shot she had to get in her buttcheek for some kind of STD.  Which a$$cheek she should get it in, how painful it is, and should it still be sore after this long.  TMI lady!

    That is just too much!  In a similar vein, but not nearly so gross, I have a FB friend who honestly posts pictures of pretty much all of the food she eats.  Guess what?  I couldn't care less what you had for dinner!  And she uses one of those geolocation thingies to tell everyone where she is.  Um, creepy!  I don't need to know you're at the dentist!

     Ah, yes the flu updates. Aren't those great? My dad is a great one for oversharing on fb.. I've had to remind him a few times that my 13 year old sister is on his friends list, and probably doesn't want to hear about the sexual escapades going on 20ft away from her bedroom.

    I deleted a guy (not so much friend as acquaintance.. he was a newer member of a old band I was close friends with) who thanked god for his gf's miscarriage via news feed because he 'wasn't ready to be a dad yet'. Angry I would have set fire to his mattress while he slept if I were the woman in question.. he didn't get too much positive feedback but I noticed that someone 'liked' it-.. ugh. wtf?!

    I also have friends (a couple) who hop on fb every time they get into an argument to give everyone the play by play, which eventually turns into them arguing via fb comment box..

    Doesn't anyone know the meaning of the word 'privacy' anymore? I'm so sick of reading people's statuses and thinking.. "Well that's none of my da*n business!"

    speaking of privacy, it makes me angry when fidiots put their home phone or addy in their status.  moreso, when i see my kids friends doing it and i want to strangle the parents and ask why the hell they aren't policing their childrens internet time!!!!

    After DH and I started telling people that I was pregnant, we were out somewhere with my parents and some of their good friends. One of them blurted out, "Oooooooh, we know what you two have been doing!" I about fell on the floor and died. I couldn't look at my parents!

    I would have to say one of my favorite FB overshare moments was when a friend of mine posted "thank God for nipple shields- I am so chaffed!" as her status.  I am a huge proponent of BF'ing and doing what you need to do to keep that baby on the boob, but for the love of God, NO ONE needs the mental image of a woman wearing nipple shields over her badly chaffed nips.  Seriously people...

    I can't stand status updates like these.  I have encountered a few that are just TMI....

    "Got my membranes stipped today"

    "Getting checked again"

    "Dialated too...#"

    "Ready to push"

    Post labor

    "A sitz bath is the best thing in the world"

    "such a hungry boy, he is eating so much(referring to BFing)

    now it is an update everytime she feeds him, when she does it in public, breastfeeding club, etc.

     GROSS and so TACKY!!
