Friend posting multiple daily photos of child in college

[Anonymous]

Is she typically a serial poster? If not, maybe give her a break and hope it passes. She's missing her kid. If so, I don't know what to tell you. I have a few serial poster friends who drive me nuts. Multiple posts per day on your home reno or basketball game commentaries that are endless. It's hard when it's someone you care about, but it's just too much life vomit on fb!

Let your child live their life and have their experiences. Why share everything about your kid with the whole world when they are off in college? I’m just finding it really bizarre.

Not to mention their kid would likely be mortified

Do you guys not understand how to use social media? If someone is annoying you, you can remain their friend or contact, but snooze them or Unfollow them

I have seen a few sorority rush phots - lots from one mom in particular. Like it's the Nobel Peace Prize or something. Yeah your kid got into a sorority at Ole Miss? Literally didn't everyone?

Unfollow is a beautiful thing. But then you'd not be able to be so judgmental. . . . ah, nah. We know you'll find something else.

When I left for college, my parents bought a dog. Everyone processes differently.

But it is not your life, it's your kid's life. It is not your choice to put it all on Social media or not. Just because "everyone processes differently" does NOT make it a good choice/right.

Who cares? If there's something you don't want to see, mute or unfollow.

Meant to add, it's not like she's EMAILING you photos. You're in control, so stop whining. She's doing it the right way.

My 10-year-old is totally fine with me posting pictures of her doing "cool things" and will actually ask to pose for photos for me to share on Facebook. Your kid is not everyone else's kid.

Your kid is 10 not 18. Yes, I always ask my kids before posting photos of them on Social media---started that when they were 12/13. It is not normal to post more than a few photos of move in day and other big events for your newly minted college student. All the photos of sorority rush are for your DD to post on their own Social media, not mommy to post. College freshman is an Adult

She is probably fine posting things on Facebook because no self-respecting person under the age of 30 would ever look at Facebook.

This! OP knows well and good she can just unfollow, but she'd rather lurk and post on DCUM about how horrible her friend is.
