[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is hilarious. Is he being mean spirited? Otherwise why on earth would you be "livid"?[/quote]

OP here. DH and I are very private people, neither of us are on social media. The idea of something we thought was just between the five of us at home, going out to many boys in our son's grade just threw us for a loop. DH and I will talk about it tonight, but as of right now I'm inclined to say nothing after seeing everyone's responses here. The kids are sometimes crude about some of the meals, but ... eh. This is our middle child - the older one is not very social so this is all new territory for us. [/quote]

Honestly even if it were to get on social media, no one cares that Sarah from Fairfax was rated a 5 on her meatloaf, and then an 8 on chicken fajitas.  No one is seeing your face and its not linked to you in any meaningful way. [/quote]

DP - to me, it’s more that rating something that, as the OP said, is a family moment, and then sharing that rating, just… doesn’t feel good.  I have three kids, two of whom are boys, I get the humor.  For 13 year olds, it’s fairly tame stuff.  But how would the boys feel if their moms took pictures of their messy rooms every day, or the outfits they picked out for school, and rated them on a text thread?  My guess is they would find it less than hilarious.[/quote]

I disagree...they are all sharing their family moments and it seems like it's all in good fun. Like the intent is not mean, even someone getting a "bad" review is not doing it in a vicious way. I think this is kind of sweet that they all found common ground this way.
