My sister overshares on Facebook and it's driving me nuts

Agreed but the whole issue is what OP sister does and it not something that should embarrass her.

If her sister was in the KKK and was posting from the rally's (if they have them) I can see being really concerned. But having a sister that posts about swim meets? Not to sound judgemental but OP sounds like someone that is not just happy living her own life but needs others to live their lives as she sees fit.

The fact that her sister hires a maid is 100% not her concern. Not even .0000001%. That is a glimpse into a warped mind.

Baloney. Not a warped mind. OP just has STANDARDS and wishes her sister did too. A common sibling issue through the ages, but not warped!!!

What standard does having a housecleaner violate? OP is jealous of her sister.

Stop. Our HHI is 4x my sister's.

Open your mouth and with words of the English language, state "Larla, would you mind not tagging me in your Facebook posts? I'm trying to lower my online profile. Thanks!"

HHI is the only measure of success

Why do I get the impression that every move your sister makes irritates you to no end and this whole problem has nothing to do with Facebook and housecleaners.

Yes, I did this too.

Doesn't remove the issue - merely hides it from me.

It's the same thing. If a tree falls in the forest with no witnesses, how can you hear it? If she's fine with this, don't make it your business.

Wait, 'friends' see in real time whenever you're tagged in a photo? Or just when they search your page?

How she runs her Facebook is none of your business. Get a life.

OP doesn't quite understand what "overshare" means. So your sister chooses to utilize facebook in a different way than you. BFD. PPs have given numerous suggestions such as tightening your security settings, reviewing all posts you're tagged in, setting her on "ignore," and yet you would prefer to stomp your little feet and whine about how she's doing it wrong. Get over yourself. Or get off Facebook.

Ignore.

Family and "friends" can still post your photos on their fb with all of your security settings tightened. And they don't need to tag you - they can add captions with your name.

At least the charade she's putting on is positive...
I'd be far more irritated if my sibling were posting stuff about getting drunk or smoking weed or showing off the shoes she stole from some store or the cat she kicked that was under her car.
