Vaguebooking VENT
I have to vent somewhere, it's annoying the crap out of me. My Brother is the biggest baby I've ever met. It constantly is posting Vague statuses usually, I assume about his girlfriend. I will comment on it, and he will delete my comment. He's done this to me 3-4 times. I don't put totally mean stuff, more like "Buck up, you will be ok,". Today I was being funny and was excited to use Vaguebooking in a sentence and he deleted that comment too.
So I just left another comment "Dude, Take a joke, if you don't want people to comment don't post Sh!t! Or delete me". Slightly immature but it's really annoying me.

Well, he is very dense so I don't know if I got my point across, he just came back and said "Or you could be nice" which is a load because I've been very supportive.
I just found out his "girlfriend" has been cheating on him. I've been sitting on it. I don't want to be the one to tell him. He's on house arrest until August, and can only leave the house for work. Hey he made his bed...
I know that he's your brother, so it isn't that easy, but I don't comment on drama-seeking status updates anymore (partially because I have had my comments deleted before). I ignore those people or hide them.
Facebook makes it too easy to have to deal with other people's dirty laundry, and I have too much of my own dirty laundry to deal with!

It's her older brother! She just acts way older than him!! But good advise!
I stay completly out of my brothers crappy life! It would bring me down and I just can't do that. It worries me way to much so I just let it go and pray for him to find his way back to "normal" life. I just shake my head and pray that his kids do not follow in the same foot steps! I would make sure 100% before telling him about his fiance cheating on him. Once you accuse soemone you cant take it back!
Edit--- I thought for some reason you said little brother! Sorry!
For a second I was like, "what?"
No worries, K!

He's the only one I ever comment on for Vaguebooking. Otherwise I have most of the others on Hide. He usually is fine, and will comment on my statuses about T. I just don't get it. He turns 33 next month, and he doesn't even have his life together. He has a almost 11 year old Daughter he rarely sees anymore because of his life choices. He lives about 5 miles from me at my Dad's week rental. Sometimes I just want to beat his head against a wall to knock some sense into him.
Well I know from a friend that she's dated one of her friends in the last month, she also told me she gets drunk and shows everyone her boobs. My friend and her and friends on FB, she met her somewhere she volunteers. His girlfriend has shown my friend text that she's sent the guy she wants to date. She's also STILL married, yep. It's not just that she's been cheating on him, I'm pretty sure she doesn't want to be with him, but he just won't let go. But I think you're right. I probably won't say anything, unless it progresses. They were suppose to get married, but then again they were incredibly drunk when they told everyone, and then he went to jail for 3 months. Can I just say how embarrassing it is having a brother like this?
I know how frustrated you are, N. I think most of us have a family member that is kind of a mess. We've talked about who that is for me. It can be beyond frustrating, and irritating. Ultimately you just want him or her to make better choices, and have a better life. I will say, knowing who your brother hung out with in high school... some of them aren't doing much better, believe me! I think something was wrong with that class from that school. Ha ha!
But seriously I completely understand the frustration as I have the same with my family member. I know it's hard to distance yourself and not let it affect you because they are family. All I can say is breathe deep and do your best to get past it. You can vent away on Saturday too. {{hugs}}
It's for this exact reason that I have a strict no family police on FB - my husband and kids - that's IT. I can't stand the drama that people start on there. And they're great at reading MY status and assume it's either directed at them or it's too vague and then the S**t hits the fan. I deleted all family almost 2 years ago and I continue to ignore their friend requests. If I want to know what's going on with them, I call or stop by. They're welcome to do the same.
(I should mention my family sometimes uses FB as their primary means of communication - I didn't find out about my 93 year old grandma's surgery because I'm not on anyone's FB. CALL ME danggit if it's that important!)
I totally get your frustration with his actions though but reading about it daily/weekly etc on FB isn't going to help him OR you...
Well, to be honest it's not that bad. I am friends with my entire family on FB, but I am very very close to them. My parents live 200 miles away from me (except my Dad works in the city I live and goes home on weekends). I enjoy them, my brother just has issues, mental issues I think. And frankly deleted him would cause more drama than necessary. He doesn't talk about his problems on FB, it's more just his constant vague statuses, like "Sometimes I just don't get it", Or "The weather is like what my heart feels like". He did respond to the message last night saying I was supportive and he thanked me. It just really annoyed me last night.
I'm glad it turned out better!
