[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You asked, "WTF? Is following and responding to posts on social media a familial obligation now?"

No, it isn't but people are not required to stay in the dark ages with you.  I absolutely detest it when family or friends send me links to pictures via email - some people do months and months of pictures and then want you to sign into an account that I haven't used in ages just to view the pictures.   Seriously???  I have better things to do.  I NEVER open them.  I prefer social media because it gives me a quick snap shot of what people are up to. I have family all over the world - there is no way I could know what they are all doing.  What would I do, call all of them?  Fly all over the world to visit them in person?  Seriously, get over yourself.

I'm 21:07 - we are international with family on three continents. No social media, no account with photos that you have to log into. We send a couple of photos every year by email, and the children's music with our semi-private YouTube account. All they have to do is open their email, and for the music, click on one link (no password). If they don't want to, they don't have to! We send PAPER Christmas cards. Home-made and everything. Gasp!

And get this: none of my family abroad uses social media either!

I think you should be the one getting over yourself.
