un-friending someone on Facebook

| is it extreme to want to 'unfriend' someone from my childhood who has not acknowledged my children? I know she had several miscarriages before divorcing years ago. But I think a simple "wow, you have kids' or 'how nice for you' is better than absolute silence. I want to delete her from my friend list. Is this extreme? It has been bugging me for the last month to six weeks, but I am PMSing now.... |

FB is not about deep friendships. Don't put too much emphasis on it.
But FWIW, I'd only unfriend if you and she have a ton of FB friends. That way it's not so obvious. |

| chill. you don't need the acknowledgement. anyway, she might just not be that into fb--maybe she hasn't even looked at your photos. i have 300 friends and haven't looked to see how big the families are of all my old friends are. let it go. you will feel better once you do. |

Geez, you need to chill out. I don't have the time or inclination to comment on each of my FB friends who have kids. It's a social network and you're reading too much into this.
You want to unfriend her, that is your choice. But, I think you're over-reacting. |

| OP here. She is not a facebook friend. She was a real friend. We grew up next door to each other. It's not like someone I once worked with or the mother of someone my kid went to school with. |

Read again all the answers to your question and you'll see who is the real "%&*#%^&" here. By the way, you have a very dirty mind lady... Sorry for your kids now too. |

Yes, it's extreme. She probably knows you have kids and doesn't feel the need to make a big deal out of it, because, hey, most of the world has kids.
I have friends from my past on Facebook and haven't gotten around to sending them personal messages yet about my life or their lives, because I'm busy in the real, non-Facebook world. That doesn't mean I haven't thought about them though. And I still like to see what they're up to currently, which is what FB is about. If you do unfriend her she won't get a message or anything; if she's someone who has hundreds of friends she probably won't even notice unless you typically have a lot of updates that she currently sees. |

OP is the kind or person that thinks the world has to revolve around their children.
OP, it's ok for YOUR world to revolve around them. To most of us out here the world revolves around other things, OK? And it's not a bad thing. Sooner or later your kids learn too that the whole world doesn't revolve around them. Joust YOURS. |

Sorry, I shouldn't have used the real letters to a$$hole. I'll do it the DCUM way instead: PP, I feel sorry for you, your husband, your kids, your distant cousins, your neighbors and all of your facebook frineds. Oh, and your momma. |

This is not true. This is a person I grew up with and I would imagine she would be interested in the fact that I have kids. I think my world revolving around my kids is as it should be and I don't expect more from anyone else, who is focusing on THEIR life. I was surprise and hurt to be treated like a 'facebook friend' by someone I grew up with. I have been 'friended' by a lot of people from childhood and have had email exchanges with them catching up on life. (Not all of them have had kids, either.) |
