Facebook

I love catching up with schoolmates and their kids and grandkids on facebook. Here's the thing. My jaw absolutely drops when a daughter or son posts something so sweet about their mom💝 I'm not jealois, but sad. What did I do wrong?? God, we can't figure it out. They were my world, and now we are insignificant. Meanwhile, they were raised around their grandparents who I included in everything! Sorry to complain, just need to know their are other great parents who don't really matter

That’s a dangerous road....Comparing your life on Facebook.

Facebook is the perfect filtered version of most people’s lives.

You can smell the insecurity through the selfies sometimes.

Drop Facebook completely for a few weeks and see how much time you spend on it killing time being envious instead of working on yourself.

You are so correct, thank you!

My mental state is much more clear if I don’t start my day seeing everyone’s perfect version of life and the never ending posts of horror and drama on Facebook.

It may help A LOT

I don’t care for Facebook. You can live without it if it causes you anxiety. Agree with pittiedad9, too much drama.

I’m here for chat if you need a friend?!

I feel like if you have to post your affection for someone online it’s not real, that it’s a selfish post to get people to like you and think highly of you. I don’t need people to “like” my affections for others to feel validated. It took a while to get that view but I really think it’s true.

Haha, I'm always saying "why do they converse on Facebook"? I especially laugh at the "love you babe". Don't these people see each other??😂

Omg 🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮

Nothing screams “I need attention” more than digitally swearing your love in front of your digital audience.

Those people should be on this site and we should be on Facebook

Preach!!

I’m “liking” that sh@t!

Our only son was everything to us and we the same to him. That was until he had a stress related breakdown at work. A therapist was appointed by the Company he works for who convinced him that he had been an accident waiting to happen and his problems were rooted in the way we had brought him up. Now there is always a barrier between us which breaks our hearts. I cannot print what I would say to that therapist should we ever meet!

OMG THANK YOU!! I know from personal experience as well as programming we get blamed FOR EVERYTHING! Too strict, too lenient, tried to control a child's weight, DIDNT try to control weight. I've had it. We try to be better than our parents, but if I said 1/4 of what my daughter said to me, I would have been slapped silly! Guess I should have! Once during her rant I stopped her by apologizing. I was sorry that she grew up in a loving home, never went without, parents loving each other and not fighting, no drugs or alcohol, and always being supportive.......poor thing!!
