[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is due to social media, but not in the way he meant. Before social media, it was super easy to minimize the contact with your parents to maybe a visit every other year and a phone call once every few weeks. If they are local, then a dinner out every couple of months. No need to declare anything for anyone. Enter social media. If one or both sides tend to post every sneeze, the state of the relationship is now a daily dilemma. [/quote] Excellent point. Pre social media you could do a phone call on a regular basis and move away without family needing to see what you were doing constantly. Now? I'm accused of keeping secrets and hiding things if I don't put my whole life on social media. [/quote] My Boomer MIL waged war against my now Ex SIL on social media - staring with FB comments. Then, SIL blocked MIL across all platforms. Now totally estranged. Haven’t spoken in years.[/quote]
