Why do people have to post events on social media?

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.

Which…you did?

I don’t use social media except for kids’ sports groups to get information but I just hosted a Christmas party and many people posted pictures from it. Anyone who wasn’t invited wasn’t someone I wanted to invite. I guess I just don’t understand owning your choices? I host a lot and sometimes it’s larger gatherings and sometimes it’s smaller things. It has never bothered me when someone has posted pictures because I chose to invite who I invited so why would I care if someone else saw it? If you wanted them there then you should have invited them.

Why does that bother you? They had the support of their friends during what was maybe a tough year. Why can’t they post that?

I hate social media and don’t post but I’m not bothered by other people who do. I don’t see why they can’t post pictures of things they do with their friends. What does that have to do with you? You’re just hurt that you weren’t invited to every single outing?

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

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.

What a sad way to view the world.

This. We aren’t teenagers. We are adults. If this bothers you, keep scrolling.

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.

You know you could solve the problem by getting off social media, don’t you? But you won’t. So you are the problem.

This is not a real problem. Move on.

I'm with OP. Not everything has to be public. We were all better off when we just knew less about what everyone was doing all the time.

I'm not on social media but I especially don't like when people post photos that include my family or me. I'm not a celebrity and these are not public spaces. I don't like thinking about photos of my family floating around on the internet being looked at by strangers. If people want to post photos of themselves and their families online, go ahead. Posting photos of others or events hosted by others is weird IMO.

Why? This is normal behavior.

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.

Lol Americans are idiots
They don’t even read terms of service in theses sites

Using X or Facebook you are literally dumb

It's actually not normal to post photos of other people's children on the internet.

There was a story on 60 minutes this week (I know, but it came in after football so we watched some while making dinner) about how child porn purveyors have started using AI to make photos of teens and tweens look like they are nude or in sexual situations. Especially easy with a photo of kids in bathing suits but they can do it with any photo.

So no, it is not normal to post photos of other people's children online.

I wouldn't do it but surely you know this is possible before you host a party.

PP with Queen Bee.

QB also had a blog. Several times my family and I were blog subjects.

I did a slow ghost and was considered cruel because how could I not want to be actively involved with supporting someone who’d been through something awful?
