SKs and FB

To be blunt, I don't get why this is such a big issue for some. SKs are going to write stupid crap on their FB accounts. Loads of kids from intact families lie and write mean things about people on FB all.the.time.

Some simple solutions to this problem:

1. Don't look at their FB profiles.

2. If you are friends with them on FB, unfriend them.

3. If you're not friends with them on FB, don't friend them.

I would be delighted if SDs wrote crap about me on their FBs. More ammunition for me. I don't actually have a FB account any more, however, closed it down cos I got sick of policing SD16's vile filthy sexual crap on her page.

Amen!

My DH wanted to know why I couldn't see some videos his kid posted on FB. I told him I'm not "friends" with him on FB.

DH: Oh, I thought you guys were friends
Me: Uh, no DH. If he doesn't even acknowledge my existence IRL, why would he want to be friends with me on FB?
DH: *blank stare*

And honestly? I like it that way. I don't WANT to know what they are doing or saying on FB, Twitter, MySpace, or wherever.

I am not friends with my SD on FB and I don't want to be. I see stuff when DH looks on her page, but I honestly don't want to see all her selfies with duck lips in bikinis, etc. And all the stupid shit guys and her friends write on her wall. Even DH has her posts hidden cuz he doesn't want to see either. I will police my own kids' pages, when they are old enough to have them, but there is nothing my DH or I can do about anything SD posts, so there is no point. She's never written anything bad about us though, so that's never been an issue.

I'm in agreement that no good can come of looking at nasty things SD's write on social media, especially when their parents don't care. Better to just not know.

I find it hilarious to look at ssstb15's page. Why would I want to end that?

As far as kids from intact families writing mean or inappropriate things? I am sure there are some, but not MY family. My children are not allowed to write mean or inappropriate things on their facebook wall or they lose that privilige of having a facebook. Just like I dont allow them to say mean or inappropriate things IRL.

I agree with you. DD17 doesn't write mean things on her FB, and I don't remember seeing any of her friends do that, either. I log on to her account almost daily.

Ah...FB the root of all drama and evil! both skids are blocked from mine and thankfully DH could give a crap about FB so he doesn't have one. MIL told me she sent a "friend" request to SD14, I told her wonderful, but please..... DH and I don't want to hear about stupid drama if she accepts and you start seeing her crap.

I wish I could stop. I'm obsessed with stalking SD16's Twitter. It's a serious problem. I think I have PTSD and I've become hyper-vigilant from the years of abuse during her visits and I'm constantly in fear she's going to disparage DH and I. (and does often for no reason). I know I need to stop. But the anxiety builds up when I think I'm missing some important tweet about the status of her emancipation or how she's planning to come visit us, or worse, live with us.....you know, so I can plan my escape. HELP ME!!!

i agree. i blocked sd almost a year ago. i don't care what she writes on there. i had her crap blocked from showing up on my home page long before i blocked her completely. i'm sure she says all kinds of shit about me on there. wait 2 months and she will be blasting me daily for having the audacity to have ANOTHER kid with HER dad. so what? her feelings and opinions mean jack shit to me. i have no desire to see anything of hers on there. when i was scrolling thru my home page and saw a big picture her aunt posted of her baby shower, i blocked the aunt's stuff from showing on my home page. that is how determined i am to see NOTHING that pertains to her at all. so i don't get going hunting for it, either.
