Do you have family on your FB?

I could friggin scream.  For the past week I have been seeing these passive aggressive FB posts from my brother of all people.  I know they are directed at me.  He is such an immature person.  I'm so over it that I'm seriously thinking about deleting every family member that I have on FB.  But I'm sure that will just create more dumb drama.

My extended family uses FB in hurtful ways too.  I just don't have the time or patience to deal with this bs.  I could sit here all night typing up how hurtful my cousins and aunt have been on FB.  But I won't go there. 

Knowing your family is being hurtful towards you on FB, would you delete or block them?  I don't want to loose touch.  But I am so over this bs.

    If it was me- I would just "hide" the posts so I don't have to see them. I think unfriending or blocking a family member will only cause the drama to get worse. 

    Sorry your family are being so hurtful and disrespectful.

     i second this. if you don't want to directly confront them, this is your best route. although i think with your brother, a conversation may be in order...

    Talking to my brother is like talking to a brick wall. There is no reasoning with him.

    This.  We recently had some FB family drama and the offender basically un-friended everyone and then sent out private messages to everyone explaining why she had un-friended us and that if we wanted her to be able to keep up with our kids then we should send her a new friend request.  That pissed me off more than anything.  Don't un-friend someone and then tell them they have to send YOU a new friend request!  I find that not responding is the fastest way to end it.  People only do this kind of thing for attention and if you don't give in, they give up and move on.

    I agree to just hide anyone who is causing drama or stressing you out.  That way you don't have to cause problems yourself by unfriending anyone, but you don't see all the negativity and aren't tempted to get involved with any of it as well.  They can still see you and keep up with your kids and see your positive vibe...maybe it will eventually wear off on them :)  I have done this with a group of people, and I cannot tell you how much more peaceful I felt after hiding them...it didn't make checking FB cause me anxiety, because really, who needs that?

    I know I'm way late on this post, but my brother and I haven't spoke since May thanks to FB.  We've tried to talk on the phone and have even been to a family reunion event where we were civil enough to say Hi, but that's it.  I find it very sad, but I lost all respect for him based on the type of things he was saying about our mother publicly on FB.
