Do we have the same MIL?? I literally just turned to my husband the other day and said, “THIS is why I block your mother”

No, I’d block him too :joy:

I’m only laugh reacting because I know someone who does this same thing and it’s annoying. If someone else comments on the post or asks a question, she thinks she has to answer it.

No you’re not wrong in my opinion but I also think if you have children together with this man I would probably unblock her and make some restrictions I hate to say it every time you make a post I would make it however you want it public friends only but you can exclude people so they can’t see it and exclude her unless it’s on pictures of the kids or something like that.

I would at least talk to her about it first. Blocking is a little extreme for replying to stuff you post. She’s on your friends list so obviously you make it her business plus everyone else’s. I think you are in the wrong. Just apologize to her and talk to her about it.

So what I did, what u can do lol is change ur privacy settings. Add her to ur fb again or unblock her. Then go to ur settings and privacy settings and instead of having Ur privacy as (for example) Friends only. Friends of friends only. Me only. Public, You can chose the option that says FRIENDS EXCEPT FOR…
Then click it and find her name!
That way she’s ur friend on fb and isn’t blocked. But she won’t see any of ur posts. Lol

That was totally ridiculous and over the top. She’s trying to show she’s interested in you and what you post so you block her? You have some growing up to do for sure, they have every right to be mad at you.

you’re being dramatic. Who care if she’s commenting on all your things. If you don’t want the attention, stop posting shit.

My own mom did this and i blocked her too. She would go through all my old posts asking questions :woman_facepalming::woman_facepalming:.

It’s a SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM :rofl:.

  1. It’s not that serious.
  2. Keep in mind the reason for such platforms is to SOCIALIZE.
  3. You can hide certain posts from certain people, if you choose.
  4. Maybe it’s a sign for everyone to take a break from social media :thinking:

Nope, your page you can block who ever you like. Gives a s… What either of them think. Do you boo

Yes you’re wrong… one day, you’ll be flattered by the attention when the rest of the world ignores you for reacting in a hateful manner!

How would you feel If she blocked you from commenting on her posts
Especially If they are about family

If it’s with good intentions I don’t think it was called for in my opinion. My dad just got a Facebook and figured it out he literally likes and usually comments on everything I post. Not disrespectfully or anything just good intentions. They are older and don’t understand technology like we do

Turn notifications off. I don’t have any notifications on from Facebook unless it’s security reasons. My own mom will do this exact thing. Blow up several post and pictures in a row, I’m like wow mom calm down.

Not sure why this is such a “bother” to you?
One day she will no longer walk this plain. She is the keeper of all things about your spouse, he will be heart broken and sad when she passes.
How would you feel if when your children get older and marry the love of their life and that person treats you poorly?
I say suck it up and grow the hell up. Your being petty and cruel.

Honestly depends what she is saying. If she is being hurtful and stuff talk to her but if she is just being nice yet annoying you that’s on you. Coming to social media to ask this or blocking her before talking to her is pretty childish

Mine blocked me before I could block her. But she started a fight with my friends over my kids pronouns.

2 Likes

I’d just send her pics of the kids and stuff through messenger and be on my way. Personally I used to get along with mine but she crossed a line too and hurt me and broke my trust so I will never let her get close to me again but she’s welcome to the children of course. I send pics and such. But my Facebook is my peace at times. She’s disrupts that. I snooze her. And she can’t see my posts. It’s a win for us a both.
I don’t know what your relationship is with her though…
As for your husband explain to him that you’re uncomfortable.

Sounds as though she was being a part of as much of your lives as she could be. Adulting is sometimes like that. She was just trying to be involved with whatever she could maybe… thats your husband’s mom. Period. How can you be so uncaring, at something so important to him? I dont get it i guess.

2 Likes

I would have just restricted her

First off when you put something on social media you mean for someone to look at it and comment on it it doesn’t make sense that you’re upset that she comment on your stuff on social media if you don’t want her to comment on your things they don’t post it doesn’t make any sense you made a childish move

What was she commenting? If it was kind, who cares?! Turn off notifications. On the other hand, if she was being nasty or derogatory in her comments, show your husband what she said & keep her blocked because of the negativity. Easy.

If she liked you before and accepted you as family, that won’t be a problem now :woman_shrugging:

I don’t see it as obsessive because it took 2 weeks for her to notice she was blocked and call your husband.

I’m confused isnt that what social media is for :thinking:

I mean yes that can be annoying but if it’s because she’s interested in her son’s life and your life and the lives of her grandkids if you have any, I think it’s nice and sweet and kind. My mother-in-law doesn’t give a crap about our kids. So I could always be worse.
Unless you’ve already admitted to it you could just try to explain to her that the notifications were as you say blowing up your phone and you didn’t mean to block her you just meant to turn off the alarm of when she commented. She’s older she probably doesn’t understand Facebook that well just play it off like you meant to just stop hearing the notifications not stop her from seeing anything and the only reason you did it is because it was constantly paying your phone and it was distracting. Then you need to refriend her or unblock her or whatever that sounds pretty heartless that would break my heart if my son’s daughter did that one day. Especially if you didn’t talk to her about it first and explain that the excess of notifications were an issue for you.

I’m so confused. (Unless she was being rude or nasty) Aren’t post made to be interacted with? lol. I think it was silly to block her for simply taking interest in your lives on a platform literally designed for just that. But to each their own.

Doesn’t help your relationship with your husband I’m sure…that’s his Mother, make sure you remember this when your children get older…you’re going to be a mother in law someday…selfish move on your part that’s going to cause alot of future problems.

I can post 500 pictures of my babies and my Nana is going to heart and comment on all 500 of them.
She loves and adores my kids. She doesn’t get to see them in person everyday so fb is her way of seeing what they’re doing. I couldn’t imagine taking that away from her. She will even call me afterwards to tell me how much she loves them and how her and my PawPaw watched them videos c amount of times.

She’s probably bored and lonely and doesn’t have much to do, so she gets on here to be social. You could always restrict someone from seeing posts without blocking them.

I comment on my daughter n laws post alot, I don’t think its creepy, i comment if its pics of my son ( ger husband) pics of my Grandchildren (her babies) her career (i want to let her know i am proud of her to) if she post something that is meant for someone in particular ( i find no reason to comment) I don’t stalk her Facebook post, but I would be hurt if she blocked me, because I love them enough to comment. I live alone and dont go alot, my children have their own lives and work, so i don’t get to see them except occasional sundays, maybe your mother n law comments because she loves her family and is proud of them( when you married her so , you became her family as well) one day you will be someones ml just the same as her( I hope your dnl , doesn’t treat you as you do yours) now if she was commenting mean, or stuff thats hurtful etc… by all means tell her you’re blocking her, why you’re blocking her and then block her!

If it were your mother I bet nothing would have been said. You don’t like her and that’s why it bothered you. I’ve been in the situation and I’ve told both my significant other and his mom to get over it and left it at that.
