| Not content to be one of the most annoying people on social media, my Mom now texts me the same things she puts in her Facebook posts. |

| Maybe she's lonely. Maybe she's excited. Have a heart. |

This. I have never in my life come across the pettiness and cruelty of the women of dcum. |

| OP, I feel ya. Worse, because I am not facebook friends with my mom (damn, she finally figured it out), she then texts me her facebook updates. It also drives me crazy that she's incapable of using just one punctuation mark. Rather than text "Are you free? Is this a good time to call? I get "Are you free????? Is this a good time to call?????" |

LOL!! My MIL turns into a supportive saint on FB to the point people comment on how sweet she is. It's all smoke and mirrors. In person she's mean, angry and looking to crush the soul of anyone in her family. |

| I purposely exaggerate my old lady behaviors when I text my kids cuz it drives them crazy. My husband texts in full sentences which my kids think is hysterical. I use outdated expressions like LOL -- and lots of those emojis! (who knew the eggplant was sexual? Not me!) |

| Yeah, my mom basically does the same thing. She wants to make sure I see her. She's like a little kid screaming "Look at me! Pick me, pick me!" |

| I don't even have my mom's number. If she needs to get in touch with us, which is rare, she either texts or calls my husband. She has Facebook, but rarely uses it, and I don't even think she follows me, because I post things about Wicca, which she thinks is evil. |

| Wait - what about the eggplant? |

| My dad was hacked twice on FB and couldn't remember how to change his password to fix it. Pictures of my children were hacked! He didn't seem to care until the hacker got a picture of the cat! Uh. |

| My grandma shares everything you put on there. She has also outed both of my pregnancies before I was ready. Ugh, but she is 82, so I just laugh with my husband about it. It's better than my aunt who writes novels to me in messages about her son who got arrested but it wasn't his fault. |
