NBR: Mom and FB need advice

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

My Mom and I don't have a close relationship.  Mainly because I think she's the most irritating person I know.  But as an adult and especially as I've become a Mom I try really hard to be patient and just adopt a live and let live attitude with her.

We've been facebook "friends" for a long time but I guess she's recently just started using it more frequently.  And now every time we talk on the phone or see each other (she lives just a few minutes away) she mentions something I've put on my status.  I think you'd have to know way more of our background to understand why, but suffice it to say this irritates the sh!t out of me.   Would you mention it to her or delete her as a friend?  These are the only options I can think of.  I've been trying to ignore how stupid she sounds, but we just got off the phone and in a 10 min conversation she quoted my last 2 status updates to me.  It makes me want to scream!

    I'd mention it, give her an opportunity to correct it on her own. If that doesn't work, you can always block her from seeing your wall, stat updates, etc.

    When you update your status click the little lock, customize, and hide from her. I wouldn't change it in your privacy settings b/c then she can't see your wall and she will know something is up.

    I don't think people over the age of 45 understand FB. My mom can be the same way... she is on FB only to see photos I post of LO and to keep up with her sister and brother... she doesn't understand statuses and I have tried to explain it to her, and she doesn't get it.

    I would try to explain it to her and then when that doesn't work, block her like PP said.

    So ok, you ladies understand why this is annoying?  I find it so hard to articulate.  DH gets why this irritates me but also kind of thinks it's funny.  Like in a Seinfeld episode kind of way.
