My adult daughter was always posting how amazing it was to be a mother when I knew her husband did all the parental chores and she just laid around on the internet.
Yeap, I share a lot the same FB peeves as you guys. I noticed lately about people posting about their children. I think that some of them are going to be angry at their mothers when they grow up for what they posted to the public internet (which is easier to do so now with the timeline format).
FB relationships have always been a peeve. I feel that a couple does not need the whole world to know that they love each other. Me and my GF only wrote "I love you" on wall-to-wall on Valentine's Day. There are also people who generally must not know the email feature on FB and write eveything on people's walls.
Then, there are those people who write every single detail that no one cares about. I had to unsubscribe to a few people, including one that pretty much did all of the above. She would post a status update like every hour, and would always say "Good night" in her last update of every single night, and every single morning she would post "Good morning".
Oh, and there's those people who complain about their "friends" getting in their business and talking s*** about them on FB.
I pretty much don't care for status updates at all. Only about 1 out 10 of them interest me now. I only post an update on special occasions.
yeah the kids thing drives me crazy. I dont have any kids for a reason, so i dont really care if your fugly kid burped for the first time or has a diarhea. I know one chick who posts only about her kids, many times a day. How about the negative nancye/debbie downer type of posters who always get on to whine, ***** or complain about something? How sad.
Once you realize that Facebook is a perfect way for brands and retailers to market to you via demographics you give them you start to monitor what you put out there. I've cut way back on what I share. I don't include home town, schools, or work info. Do you know that you can get a print out of EVERY status update you have ever posted? Even the ones you deleted.
I've since deactivated mine but I had a few facebook "friends" that would clog up my news feed with junk they could've kept to themselves. A former high school crush updated his status ten times a day for quite awhile and he would even broadcast pictures of places he was throughout the day and food he was about to eat. Don't get me started about my cousin, who can't shut his mouth in real life let alone online.
The very nature of facebook makes people want to constantly post updates, pictures, etc. and now I keep hearing about the timeline. The narcissism on facebook is bad enough, I can't imagine how much worse it will get.

Smart!
If you use FB, the less FB knows about you, the better. I rarely post status updates — maybe a couple a week, just to let my friends know that I'm still alive. I try to keep it innocuous and post things like funny stories from The Onion or a funny YouTube video, e.g., "Simon's Cat."
I detest all of this "check in" stuff. I don't want people to know exactly where I am during every hour of the day. Why the heck do people feel compelled to do this?
Her status updates often have to do with how she's basically mother of the year.
So why don't you delete her? Problem solved in .02 seconds.
And as an aside, I see countless people with no lives living vicariously through their boring children. Posting status updates about their kids and ignoring themselves. As if anyone cares about their kids and what they do? I mean, catch a clue.
"Took Johnny to the Dentist. He had no cavities!" Wow.... how could anyone LIVE without being privy to this earth-shattering news?
