The mom sees the kid as herself.

You are reading too much into the semantics. I use “we” a lot … like the royal we LOL.

I say all the time to my pregnant sister …. “ so excited we’re having a baby.”

I could say to my dog as I’m feeding him “we are about to have dinner”

I could say to my DH “ we’re getting a vasectomy today”

I could call the pediatrician and say “we have an appointment tomorrow….”

Do I wish I’m my kid, dog, DH, or pregnant sister…. Well Maybe

Anyone who posts on FB regularly is a loser or over 75 and clueless. You don't need to get into the specific subject matter of the posts. It is not 2012 and this behavior is not for normals anymore.

My sister has a friend who spent two weeks dropping off her freshman girl at one of the giant southern schools because she stayed all throughout sorority rush. Insanity.

Where she get the photos??

I assume she’s pulling them from the daughter’s social media and then reshaping on her own FB feed. She even has group photos of all these girls rushing sororities. They’re not just photos of her daughter but include other students too. Dozens posted daily.

Geez, I guess we know who is a worse busy body and insane, mom who posted a couple of photos or a friend who posts about her posting a couple of photos of her college kid on social media.
Her kid is her kid, what is your excuse you horrible harpy?

Let your child live their life and have their experiences. Why share everything about your kid with the whole world when they are off in college? I’m just finding it really bizarre.

With friends like you one doesn’t need enemies

Ok, so it's weird. That Mother is dealing with some stuff, having a bit of a hard time letting go. Don't look. Give it 6 months, see if she's doing better.

When I left for college, my parents bought a dog. Everyone processes differently.

But it is not your life, it's your kid's life. It is not your choice to put it all on Social media or not. Just because "everyone processes differently" does NOT make it a good choice/right.

My 10-year-old is totally fine with me posting pictures of her doing "cool things" and will actually ask to pose for photos for me to share on Facebook. Your kid is not everyone else's kid.

Gross.

Like I care what some loser thinks.
