Why do people have to post events on social media?

[Anonymous]

I feel it is rude to others you didn’t invite. I had a small gathering at my house this past weekend and invited some of my adult friends and some of my child’s friends and parents. Several people posted photos of my house on social media and now I feel bad about not inviting some people. I can feel two friends being mad that they were not invited.

It is totally fine to post photos of your own kids or your own outing or vacation.

Gross. I'm not friends with people who would do this. Honestly. It's so crass.

I mean if you go out with a friend or your kid’s friend, fine. I don’t care that much. But I have mutual friends who definitely know it is my house. They took a lot of photos of my house so it looks like I had a holiday party and did not invite our mutual good friends.

You have to remember there are people who post EVERY time they leave the house- you have to make it a point to tell them not to post just like if you were to tell them to take their shoes off.

I don’t want pictures of me or my family on social media, ugh.

One of the reasons I’m no longer involved with a group of neighbors - this happened regularly - pics and posts of get togethers, nights out, lunches. So incredibly rude. Especially when captioned with proclamations like , “couldn’t have made it thru the year without these ladies!”

I don’t understand why it has to be posted on social media. I take photos with friends. We share with one another only.

This is interesting. Can’t we all be adults and understand that not every hangout includes us? Isn’t it someone else’s problem if they are offended by this? You did nothing wrong.

pp and it became a competition for friendship with the Queen Bee who suffered through a tragic situation. We rallied support and each helped in our own ways. But soon the sick and twisted prize was Queen Bee publicly exalting those who did more the more extraordinary acts of service thru posts.

Then the wannabe lackeys fell all over themselves to out-do one another.

I think its strange to post any pictures on social media expect a locked account for family and very close friends.

This is the only sensible response. Not everyone can be invited to everything.

This is beauty of NOT a being on Facebook. You aren’t aware when pictures are posted!

Agree OP at this point I feel like posting that stuff on SM is immature. Share it with the ppl who are in the pix directly. It's not like posting "going out pix" 15 yrs ago when everyone was doing it.

In my circle people also don't really post pix that show other people's kids.

Not everyone is invited but it’s rude to publicly post pictures of someone else’s home. And can’t people go anywhere with taking constant pictures. It wasn’t a birthday party or wedding FFS.

I send pictures by text to the relevant people and so do my friends and family. No public pictures. Nothing is private on that site no matter what Facebook says.
