“Hide” or “Unfriend”. it’s as simple as that. no need to be rude about it.
You know what?
My commie atheist cousin apparently unfriended me unbeknownst to me.
This was after I got tired of seeing his constant posts about communist ideas and atheism groups (complete with TOTAL vitriolic comments by other like-minded fools). It angered me almost constantly, especially to think 1 of my cousins was this bad. I cannot keep my “mouth” shut, so would comment. Finally, I got sick of it and my husband and nephew told me to just “hide” posts from him.
See, I did not want to get more of the family angry at me for simply “unfriending”. Next thing I know, I cannot find him on my lists at all, and I am not on his, so apparently he must have figured this out somehow. So I’m kind of in trouble anyway. The good thing is he is 3000 mi away.
This seems like the step they are taking in an effort to avoid having to defriend her.
That was my first thought, too. You can just hide their posts so you don't have to see them. YOu don't need to "unfriend" them and risk hurting the feelings of someone you otherwise like. Just hide the posts, they won't know it and you won't have to look at them anymore.
Exactly. That’s just mean.
Just scroll down. These girls should be used to scrolling down because FB fills your news feed with lots of junk. I’ve gotten pretty good at spotting stuff I’m not interested in an quickly scrolling past. It comes from years of ignoring ads in print media.
Maybe this mother is building a “permanent” record of the baby’s childhood with the best tool she has available. I might suggest she create a FB account for the baby & post there. Her “Friends” can Friend it or not.
But, your FB page is yours, not your “friends”. You are free to post what you wish within the FB restrictions, as it should be.
I happen to like the pics my nephew posts of his kids. Sometimes I dwell on them, sometimes not. It’s no great effort to pause or scroll on by. How many calories does it take to scroll by, how many synapses have to fire?
Once again, we have selfish individuals who want others to change their personal, harmless behavior to suit them. Whiny people who believe others should cater to them as if they are special.
“Live & let live”. Either scroll down, turn your head, exit an objectionable situation, or go to Hades.
