RANT!

I'm boiling angry and can't sleep!
About an hour ago, I recieved a private mail on facebook from my kids Nana TELLING ME OFF for making a remark about her son in a comment under a status of mine! It was only a barely snarky little quip in response to a comment someone else had left, a JOKE to MY friends on MY page! It was really only a minor little dig, I'm not one for posting all of my life for the world to see, and the real kicker is I'M NOT EVEN FACEBOOK FRIENDS WITH HER !! She was fb stalking me and came across something she didn't like so hit me up about it. Needless to say I will be double checking my privacy settings from now on, but I am really wound up by this, it's only Facebook for crying out loud. I'm not going to censor myself for her, she shouldn't be looking anyway, and to be quite frank I couldn't give a flying hoot what that family thinks! The GALL of the woman! I am more than accomodating with visitation, often cancelling my plans to suit them (DD is only 15 months, so its not for her benefit, she wouldn't know if she missed a week) and ignoring ALOT of silly game playing on their part. I think I've been more than reasonable about them seeing my girl, esp since her dad has not yet seen, or even acknowledged the existance of my 3mo son to him. But this has really gotten to me, what I say to my friends is my blimmin' business, and as long as I am caring for my daughter appropriately and not stopping them from seeing her, they should keep their noses OUT! Grr. I didn't dignify it with a response, but oooh in my head I gave her what for! Does anybody else have similar problems and/or advice on dealing with exes + their families that are difficult? Its getting veeery difficult to be the bigger person!

I feel for you but this is the reason I refuse to have fb I hear to Many arguements that happen on there and just think meh I'll keep my life to me oh and huggies lol.
Try not to stress about have a geez at the privacy setting one of my friends said only her "friends" can read her wall or something??
Your ex sounds like he needed a light bagging out though laugh
Brush off her comments though and try not to loose sleep over her petty dig smile
Your the one laying your bubs beautiful head down to sleep tonight not them so in my opinion your already one up on them smile

I just left my husband because of fb. It can be used very inappropriately. Just remember it is there for all to see. I would not comment at all about your ex as it could be used against you in any future custody battles, etc... Defamation is a very real thing.

like pp said even when you have changed your privacy settings I would not make personal comments about your relationship on facebook as you never know when it might be bought back up.
People talk as well, an old friend of mine who was involved in a dispute with her landlord posted something rude about him on facebook as her status, can't remember exactly but it was pretty bad. One of her friends was also friends with him and made a screen print and sent it to him. He used it in the dispute against her.
So don't trust that just because you are friends with someone on facebook, they aren't better friends with someone else.

Your ex MIL sounds like a stirrer. You can block her from seeing anything at all to do with you. I would be doing that in the future. She was prob trawling facebook looking for something to get angry at you about.

BUT due to your situation being a little complicated in the interest of diplomacy's sake I would prob reply to her and explain that she has taken it out of context and that it wasn't meant to hurt anyone and was just a joke between friends. You could also remove the comment from your page and let her know that you have.
Yeah it might seem like giving in but will prob make your life easier in the long run smile GL

Ha, she sounds like my exs mum. Just ignore the silly woman, its just like what a pp said, you're the one looking after the little ones,m making the sacrifices. You're much better than her and her petty stirring smile
