I don’t do Facebook and even though I don’t have it, I HATE IT! I know this sounds dramatic but I SWEAR to you, this is true.
I can’t have a conversation with my MIL at all without her saying at least once, “ oh! I already know! I saw it on Facebook.”
She will ask me how my week is going. I say great I’m planning to see my sister this weekend.
“ oh! I already know! I saw it on Facebook. I saw Rebecca is planning to host your nephews birthday party for the whole family.”
It makes me furious. I cannot have a single conversation without it coming up.
For my in laws, it’s just gossip. I just miss the days when we could sit and have a real conversation. My FIL even asked me how I’m related to “ John” who was in the hospital. I said I have no idea what you’re talking about. He said “ your sisters daughter posted that so many people had called to ask if John could have visitors that she wAnted to let people know that he could not. So how are you related to John?” I said I’m not related to John. My sister’s daughter is but I am not.
Last week, I was telling my sister that someone whom she doesn’t know but who is someone we do, had died. She said, “ oh! I already know! I saw it on Facebook.”
SO.
INCREDIBLY.
ANNOYING.
