Sometimes I want to say something but I just have to walk away.  I have this family member,who presents herself as someone who is sooooo much better than anyone.  Anyway I ignore it.. but since I added her on FB I have been seeing post after post about her kids and how perfect and how smart her kids are. And normally when someone would announce something great about their kids I would be the first in line to congratulate.. but the things she brags about are just so freaking common.. "OMG I have the most polite kids any mother could ever dream to ask for.. today they were using their please and thank yous'.  See how being a great example of a mom can be." 


Or my son is sooo talented. Here is what he drew for me tonight.  A mother can only be so lucky to be me. 

Gag a fricken maggot already!  First pa-lenty of kids have table manners.. and to every parent, their kids are gifted adn talented.  STFU already.  Its bad enough I have to see you acting all high and mighty at family functions, and I have to "keep the peace"  and listen to you talk about how so many people are not fit to whip the gum off your shoe.. now when I am trying to be nice and accepted your invite, I have to see your ass there too?  EW! gross.. get over yourself already please!

And no im not jealous. Im just so sick of seeing someone brag about themselves so much. How in love they are with themselves its just disgusting. But I have to "help keep the peace in the family"  just suck it up and smile.. when internally all I want to do is puke!  I don't know, I feel like this is a bad idea, and that I might explode.  I don't know how long I can keep this up.  I just want to unfriend her on FB and ignore her calls so I wont have to listen to 'all about her' and why she is such a perfect mom and perfect person and a perfect example of how everyone should live their life...yeah,far from it

You can hide her threads without deleting her from your FB and causing family drama.  I had to do that with one of DHs cousins who is always reposting those sick kids things on FB.  She was reposting them like 10-15 times a day and I found it disturbing to have to scroll through that many each day.  But i didn't want to delete her and make dhs family angry.

Woah! Hold the crazy train!



Those sound like normal things to me. I am proud of the things my son does too. You also don't have any idea how many rude ass kid's there are running around these days. It's good to have manners, I am proud of my son using his manners. He is only two and such a smart sweet kid.



Would you rather her say "my rude little shitbag can't draw for shit!"? It could be worse. You sound jealous.

What PP said... You can remove her from your newsfeed. All you have to do is go on her profile & where it says "friend" click on it & at the bottom of it it should give you a list and then click on "show on newsfeed til the check mark next to it is gone. GL!

I have a SIL like that and I just hide all her posts so I don't have to see it.  I see my SIL as an insecure parents.  She spends zero time with her daughter, but her daughter is so "bright" and "advanced"...digusting.

Good idea I would have to do that

I have  FB friend like that, however I got to know her better and realized she said all those things as a mask.  She was struggling with her kids, and her marriage.  She wanted to keep up appearances and went over board.  Even now, her divorce is going to be final in a week and online she still posts how much she loves her husband and how lucky she is and a pic with her dh and the kids saying how she has such a great family.  No one but me, her DH, his parents, and the kids know she is getting a divorce. Her parents don't even know and no one else knows.  Some people "brag" as a form of denial. If it bothers you so much, hide her thread.

Gag a maggot!! That's just too funny!! I think part of her is just naturally annoying to you so no matter what everything will be that way. Don't worry I have a "friend" who's the same we're kind of obligated to be cordial and oh boy she annoys me and I mean everything she does, we're both expecting and just everything from her announcement to her naming was like is it that necessary for you to be so dang obnoxious?? Wish I could gag her with some maggots haha, I'm one of those moms who brag but its when,y daughter says stuff I don't expect any two year old to say or if she gets compliments from her doctor for being bright not her saying thank you, it's expected (yes at 2) and I also talk about how horrid she can be and yep that's my daughter and I don't feel bad saying it, I'm her mom I'm sure me and her dad are to blame haha, but this one friend all she ever does is go on about how her life is amazing with her yucky nickname for her son and how she's like in some race to be best at being pregnant and having her son! She's loony so trust I know the feeling I'm total opposite her I was pregnant before it was fun I'm huge and tired its not, but the thing about her that makes me ad is she gets on fb raving about her amazing life and hubby and pregnancy yet I know it isn't all a. Walk in the park because we are "friends" and our other "friends" talk even if she isn't talking to me personally
