[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. Thanks for the comments. Still trying to decide if this is worth saying something over. Due to personalities involved, there isn't a way to mention it casually, it will no doubt turn into a confrontation with hurt feelings. Husband is more than happy to say something, but that would spark more of a confrontation than if I said something.

[b]This behavior (clueless re etiquette) is pretty typical and I don't see it changing. She didn't mean any harm, but she just doesn't think and it's all about her. I'm leaning toward not bothering to say anything.[/b][/quote]

If this is the case, then don't complain about her scooping you, etc. You can just provide some guidance about future posts.

I also think that our parents' generation is still pretty new to all of this. Most of us in our 20s/30s/40s have moved way passed posting every exciting thing for everyone on our friends list to see, but our parents have not. Don't make an issue out of this, just be clear about what you'd like done in the future.[/quote]
