Oh family..

So this is more pointless. But I'm in abit of an awkward situation and have no one to turn too incase it gets back to my boyfriend..

My boyfriends sister fell out with their dad years before I met my boyfriend. And she moved to Scotland with her little girl.

My boyfriend is always adamant that he doesn't want to see or hear from them, but as I have his family on Facebook, his niece (now 14) has found me on Facebook and continuously likes my pictures of my daughter. It doesn't bother me, but she's made no other communication form other than the likes.

Firstly, he won't know it's her as she doesn't have any of the family as her friends and they have a completely different surname.

He was 8 when they moved so I doubt he'd remember her surname.

He also has 2 nephews which he doesn't know of and one is a couple of months older than our daughter.

I know that if I bring it up hell accuse me of digging, and of course I did. I was wondering why this stranger was like my photos. But then if I don't there could be backlash and he could end up hurt.

Just wondered if anyone had any advice or had been in a similar situation..

If it were me, I'd tell him. It's not your fault she found you on facebook and you only looked up who she was because she was liking your pics and stuff and wanted to know who she was...you didn't seek her out first and haven't been contacting her on the sly so why should you get aggro for it?! Basically family are the best and worst things in life!! Lol. And facebook has a lot to answer for also.

Good luck with your situation

Thanks for your reply

Their situation is so icky though. Like if I say anything he sort of shuts down and ignores me.

I don't want to put my foot in it considering I don't know what's gone on.

Maybe try and increase privacy on ur pics so she can't like them too? Block her name or something so it doesn't show....that might buy u some time lol

I asked him if he knew her and he said he doesn't recognise the name so I've left it at that! Thanks though

Hi

It is hard with other peoples family isn't it, you can feel like your walking on thin ice.

You could always mention to him that some body you don't recognise has been liking pictures of your daughter on facebook and does he know who they are?

your been honest, and if he does work it out to be hes neice, you can follow hes lead as to where you go from there, together, be it tightening security so she can't get in touch or possible him getting in touch with her. you never know it may be away for him to open up to you about what happened, or at least the story he was about what happened.

Good luck

I did and he said he said he doesn't know who she is, didnt recognise her name.

And as for what happened, he said he doesn't know. As he was only 11, and the picture his family had been sharing, hence how she found it. I've now asked them not to.

Thanks for your reply
