My Mom is the most annoying person on Facebook ever

Learn how to group and customize your followers. Not everyone has to see every post.

Use the unfollow option

Use the unfriend for scary right wing $#!++

If your mom doesn't know a specific terminology, tell her. Don't giggle and revel in her ignorance as she continues to do the annoying thing you just complained about. You are literally awful, 100%

Delete comments you don't like.

Set boundaries about what others, all others, can post of yours. That includes your friends- your Mom shouldn't have different rules, because -why?

Lastly- GROW THE F *** UP. You didn’t invent this. It's not your secret fort. You and other adults share the same life now. You won’t be grounded.

Give your poor Moms a break. This was a really sad post today- I don't have much confidence knowing you might have kids. You are an adult. Keep reminding yourself of that.

Yikes.

This. I’m not on either.

My MIL is on FB and fills me in on my sibling’s activities (I heard x did y).
She is now way more interested in my FIL’s nephew’s family because they post often and to her their life seems exciting and glamorous. We speak on the phone and she’s excited that person x is doing y.

Op perfect response. I hate these posters.

My mother has a disability and can't really use her hands well enough to play around with cell phones, or a computer keyboard, unless she really needs to, and then it's laborious.

I would say not using social media may be the only silver lining of her disability

So, just to be clear here, you are grateful that your mother has a disability which prohibits her from using her hands effectively, which most would consider to be a substantial and unfortunate disability, all because you prefer that she not use social media? Do I have that correct?

I am very curious why women in this general age group are somehow to be canceled from social media by the next generation? What did you thinksocial media was for?

They can't friend your mutual friends, they can't like posts, and they certainly can't post. Why? Yet, all your friends can do that, but just not your mother. Why is it a thing that they shouldn't use social media? Not FB, not IG, not anything? Again, what is the actual reason? It is likely that they have the same jobs, colleagues, neighbors, and experiences as you, but, apparently they should not ever leave the face to face world outside of those boundaries. Why?

They can't post about their lives,comment on your posts or anything, and you would literally rather that the mother have a freaking DISABILITY, than to ever do so.
So, how will you know when your social media tenure is up? Is it 45? 50? 55? Will you get a notification in the mail-or online? Will someone come and injure your hands just in case you don't get the message? Maybe your kids will wish MS on you, huh?

Does anyone ever watch those Progressive commercials? They aren't making fun of boomers, actually, but you probably think they are. They are poking fun at millennials (a lot here) who worry about "adulting" and the appearance of being any kind of adult. The very target of dumb @$$es who agree with OP. It's a genius marketing strategy.

Back in medieval times, when my mother tentatively suggested she get a Facebook account and keep in touch that way, I flat out told her I would never friend her on FB.

She's annoying enough in person or on the phone, I don't another source of cringe.

Did I write this?

Must have.

NP. So you’re the person who posted like 17 times in a row yesterday, right?

PP you replied to.

Clearly you've never had a loved one who is severely disabled.

My mother developed Multiple Sclerosis in her 20s. It ruined her career and made her dependent on her spouse - who has been devoted, but even with such a partner, it's still a huge adjustment to the relationship, and at such an early age.

It's REALLY HARD TO HAVE SUCH A DISEASE AND DISABILITY. It's really hard to be the child of such a parent.

Humor diffuses the pain and stress.

That's why I added the emoji, but clearly you choose to get all offended for nothing.

What? And you must be the **NP** ( yeah, right) who thinks she's keeping track.

Don't you have adulting to do today? Or is your Mom doing that, OP?

Nah, it was actually disgusting, emoji notwithstanding.
If you are having trouble being the child of someone who is disabled, I can't imagine that her ability not to be on social media is really your issue.

Universal Messge: This isn't about you.

There are a lot of occupational therapy resources that would assist her with any type of technology. Have you looked into those?

I don’t use Facebook anymore but back when I did, my MIL (who I love to pieces and think is wonderful) would call me about 10 mins after i ever did anything on FB—if I liked a page, if I posted a photos, if I wrote a message on something, etc. She wanted to talk about it on the phone w me. It was so funny bc I could almost set my watch to it and on the rare times she didn’t call me after I had some FB activity, I’d kind of worry that something was wrong.

My dad on FB is always posting quizzes or responding to questions posted by random/scammer looking pages. I’ve told him before to not like or comment on things unless he knows for sure what they are but he doesn’t really get that. He also has asked me before why so and so sent him a picture or wrote him a message and I’ll explain they didn’t send the photo to you specifically they just posted a photo/wrote a message and you saw it in your feed. He seemed skeptical about that and I’m pretty sure he still thinks his FB friends are sending him whatever photos/messages they post.
