[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm okay with the PDA of others - it makes me remember being swept up in the hormones.

The worst Facebook posts are the ones where the spouse isn't even on Facebook.  So Larla will post "happy nine-month anniversary to you, Larlo.  You are so amazing, you complete me, and I don't know how I was able to draw a breath before I met you.  You hung the stars, the sun, the moon, and the galaxy has you to thank for making it better."  Meanwhile, Larlo has no Facebook account.  [b]This also applies to similar messages to kids on their birthdays[/b].[/quote]

See, I sort of agree with you on the spouse/anniversary thing.

However, I disagree with you on the childrens' birthdays.  I have many friends and acquaintances whose kids are different ages from my kids.  I see them anywhere from once a year to once a month.  I've met their kids.  I like their kids.  But I'm not in the same sphere with their kids and frankly their kids are generally below my radar.  But I like to know when the kid has a birthday and maybe one or two details about the birthday so that the next time I see the kid, I have something to say to them, even if it it's just a belated happy birthday.  Or can make a quick comment about the kid's birthday party or whatever.  To me, this one of the reasons FB was created, a social network, so that we can share social information between friends and acquaintances.

Give me birthday announcements and take off the religious, political and chain mail (Like if you've rubbed your kittty's tummy today!) crap any day.  [/quote]

Quoted PP here.  I'm totally fine with FB posts that say something like "It's Larla's 8th birthday - I am so blessed to have her" or anything else.  The thing that bugs me is when the poster is addressing the person not on FB - so instead of the example in the last sentence, it would be "Larla - I am so blessed to have you in my life.  Your birth on this day 8 years ago was the best and I am sure you will become the most amazing woman ever!"  It's just super odd to me to be addressing people who are not even on FB.[/quote]
