I’m blocking MIL and SIL from FB

[Anonymous]

Blocking MIL and SIL on FB. These catty women can’t stay out of my business. I don’t post much at all, but I’m occasionally tagged in things. Last night I got together with dear friends who are in town— the only day that worked for one, plans made weeks ago— we met at the hotel one was staying at and the kids swam and we ordered dinner. In doing so, DC and I missed a pop-up event with DH side of the family. My friend tagged me in some pics, and MIL called DH and was passive aggressive about me having time to do things but not time for them, how I could have went alone and let DC visit with family, etc. I’m so done with them knowing my personal business to use against me. But what do I say if asked?

Why don’t you repeat your post back to them? To do anything less is as passive aggressive as they are.

Exactly. “Sorry we missed the party, we already had plans.”

Block them both OP. I wouldn’t mention it, but if they say something to you I’d just respond you’ve decided to keep FB to just friends and non-family. I blocked my mom and sister got the same reason and have had zero regrets. Your Facebook. You get to decide how to use it.

How would they know you’ve blocked them? Do you actually think people stop and think about who is coming up in their feed. Seriously—your MIL & SIL will NOT say, “Hmm, I haven’t seen a post by Glinda in over a week. Let me see if she’s blocked us...”

I blocked my MIL, too.

I also blocked a Trumper relative or two.

Yes, they will. My own inlaws remarked frequently about my posts.

Who cares if they notice? Just state your boundary and stand by it. OP is an adult.
