So, my husband posted something to my Facebook wall because he thought it was humorous, but also wanted to prove a point about how something of ours wasnt as bad as this article….
Of course, someone has to make, you know, THAT comment. The one people, “friends”, make to somehow make themselves feel better by making you feel awful for posting anything…
This happens all the time to us. I’m sure a lot can relate. There are those people who just won’t leave things alone and just let them be funny. I have to overthink everything I post. My husband did something funny the other day but I knew someone would see it as how awful of a human he is. I think about making a joke about my tweenager and her mood swings and how I might just have to send her to boarding school (HAHA as if I could afford it!)… but then don’t post it because someone would “mom-shame” me. Once I posted a video of my oldest yelling at the baby because that’s how they communicate 🙄 and it makes the baby giggle. I got quite a few comments on how awful it is that my oldest is so mean and had to explain it wasn’t real, it’s just her way of talking to the baby and getting her to laugh. Do you really think I’d post a video depicting my oldest as a monster for people to judge?!!?
So we’ve been sticking to posts that have no social, ecominical, political, etc… ties in them at all. It’s exhausting! I keep scrolling if I don’t like what a friend posts, or if it’s a post on their personal opinion I might like it even if I do not agree. I don’t, however, comment something obnoxious because my opinion by no means relates to yours and most of my friends are as stubborn as I am. There will be no changing their minds.
Please, accept people are who they are. Our opinions don’t change based on whatever asinine comment you plan to leave. Thank You in advance.
Our little but loud family.
