| A couple of months ago, DH and I had discussion about boundaries with his parents when they were here to visit. It was somewhat of a milestone for us (husband and I) and long overdue. Apparently ILs are still upset. They must have visited with MIL's sister recently as she posted on a FB post of mine (of our daughter and a friend) that I am a "terrible person". I saw it and deleted it only to have her repeat it on the post again. I deleted the comment and blocked her from seeing posts but did not unfriend her or whatever. DH doesn't seem to care as he never speaks to or hears from his aunt. I think he should say something to his parents. |

| You're giving her the exact reaction she wants. Let it go. You've said your piece. Now stand behind it. |

| Defriend the aunt for sure. I don't think your dh should say anything. |

| If you are going to respond, I think you should contact the aunt directly-by email or a note. I think that involving a third party to complain about someone's behavior just increases the drama. Personally, I would probably tell the aunt that if she wanted to get and touch with me and talk about my decisions for my family I'm willing to listen but unlikely to change my mind. But posting negative comments about me on a facebook thread is completely inappropriate. But if you don't want to have a direct conflict with this woman, then I would just drop it. |

| FFS. It's Facebook. Get on snapchat or Instagram...I'll bet your MIL's sister won't catch up with that technology for at least 20 years. |

I am going to drop it. Thanks! |

That is true, thanks. |

| I'm sorry, OP. Luckily, sounds like this aunt means nothing to DH, and she certainly means nothing to you. Defriend her; there's no reason not to. "Friends" don't repeatedly say or write hurtful things to/about other friends. She's not your friend, and she has zero impact on your life. Moving on! |

I would drop it. But the first opportunity her name came up with mil, I'd blush and apologize for all the nasty things your friends said about her... when mil asks what you mean, let her know how awkward it was when she said something nasty and embarrassed herself online and caused your social circle to respond to her bad behavior.
(but btw I would block any and all people like this). |

No no, leave the comments for all to see. It's funny to see people shooting themselves in the foot without you having to lift a finger. |
