Facebook - Frigging Drama Book

TheOtherMom's picture

I am so annoyed that I can't really compose this blog entry very well.

SS13 has an FB account. WHILE I was creating it with him and showing him how to use it and putting all kinds of Blocks on the damn thing, BM texts DH LOADS of messages about me blocking her etc. That she knew it was me who was not displaying her as the MOTHER.

He had an active account for about ten minutes!!!

Anyway, I tried to block her so I wouldn't see any of her crap posts on SS13's page but she beat me to it.

I think I am annoyed because she technically WON this one.

Grrr.

I don't want him to have an FB account but did you know teachers can mandate Social Media accounts (well, at charter and private schools they can) for Journalism and Computing classes? Otherwise, SS14 has to write 4 page essays. Punishing my son for not having an account???? Really??????? BS.

Why were you trying to block SS's mother from HIS page???

If YOU don't want to see her crap, block her on YOUR page and you won't ever see any of it.

Also, a teenager is smart enough to figure out how to unblock her. I think it borders on PAS to block the kid's mom from HIS page.

The blocks I created were to show him how to Edit Privacy.

You ASSUME a teenager is smart enough.

Ah. I totally read it differently. But if BM blocked OP on her page, then OP won't see Bm's stuff, either. The only way OP would see them on SS's page is if she's logging in as SS, right?

I've blocked my skids' Mom so I don't see her stuff -- which means she can't see my stuff either. I don't care to see her crap -- I've also blocked my SD17 - got tired of dealing with her drama too. Took all my skids off except the one who is nice to me. I simply don't care anymore if their little feelers get hurt. whah!

Any yes, Facebook I think is a necessary evil at times. Too much drama at times.

I totally get that. I block anyone who I think might cause drama. I don't need that crap in my life.

I had just read this that OP was trying to block BM from SS's page. THAT didn't make any sense to me...

"Anyway, I tried to block her so I wouldn't see any of her crap posts on SS13's page but she beat me to it."

Does this mean that you were trying to block BM from her son's Facebook page?

"That she knew it was me who was not displaying her as the MOTHER."

Does this mean that you didn't list her as the mother? Does it mean that you listed yourself as his mother?

Gotcha. Makes sense! I don't want to see any of BM's posts either. All she does is go on and on about what a great mother she is. :sick:

What about the "Mother" thing?

Yes.

I blocked Uberskank after DH's kid told us Uberskank had a FB page. Do not need the drama.

DH's kid now has a FB page. Sigh. I already told DH I will not accept any friend requests from his kid. Unfortunately, while we were visiting DH's family recently, her cousins assumed she and I were friends. I just smiled and said nothing.

I have enough problems in my life. She knows her cousins names, so she can go look them up herself. And I'm not dumb enough to think Uberskank doesn't have her password. Who needs the drama?

I only use FB to connect with my friends and family. My page is private and I do my best to control any content that involves me or my family.
