De-friend her...I am only half-way joking. I have my FIs sister as a friend on FB and if she ever were to comment on something I posted abt my FI with a negative/snarky comment...she would be de-friended.
change your settings. now you can make your posts only viewable to certain groups of people. i have lots of random family (like aunts, parents, old bosses) and i dont want them to see all my posts or pics.
Agreed with FutureMrsMorgan. I have a group set up called "no status" and it is all the people I don't want to see my status messages.
I guess the other thing that irritates me is that we are married but still planning our wedding...(jp the first time, still want my fairytale) and she is supposed to be in it. I want to SLAP her! I'm starting to think I don't even want my fairytale and that I should just sell my dress because everytime I get excited about anything everyone in his family either has plans for the day we are going to use or something snarky to say. Makes me glad they are in MN and I am in TX!
I probably wouldn't say anything to you, but if you were publicly saying something negative about my brother, I wouldn't think highly of it. I can see her point of view on that. I would never make that kind of post on FB. I just don't feel a need to air my laundry that way.
But everyone is right, just change the settings so she can't see your updates.
I was really annoyed that my mother in law asked to be my friend. My mother thinks my FB is for me and my friends only. My mother respects my privacy and personal space. My MIL on the the other hand will email me regarding posts I have written. I now feel like I need to sensor myself or be worried if a photo of me in a short skirt or drunk is posted. I feel like there should be boundaries between parents and their adult children. I did not know I could block certain people from viewing my posts and photos. Wonderful!
I would be super pissed off if one of my Fis siblings did that, they don't realise that they often see another side of SO and wear rose coloured glasses, seriously limit what she can see.
Personally, I think the best solution would be to not post negative status updates about your fi... would you mind if he did the same to you, and used the fairly public forum of Facebook to complain about you?
I think my husband would be incredibly hurt if I publically announced he was driving me crazy. I'd definately be hurt if he did that to me. I don't have any brothers but if one of my sisters boyfriends were to post something negative about them, I think the first time or two I'd laugh it off, after that, I'd start getting pissy about it. We can be a bit defensive of one another, and I know my sisters would be very pissy at my husband if he were to do something like that to me. I know you don't mean anything bad, but different families have different things they consider acceptable, and in my family this would be a big no.
Hubs and I are very open about everything in our relationship. I know I make him crazy sometimes too. Before I ever say anything, I let him know he's making me crazy. I think his sis needs to stop being bipolar. I honestly think she needs help. Anyway, I rave about him on there more than anything else. she needs to chill out. sometimes when you are in a relationship for more than a day the person can get on your nerves...she would know that if she knew how to be normal. I'm just saying...Plus, as I pointed out to her, if she doesn't like it, then she can either not look at my page or delete me. Won't hurt my feelings. What really floors me is that she is about to become a mother and she is acting like a 12 year old.
My FSIL just asks me why I'm annoyed and if it's FI she's normally very chill (I.e. Yeah boys are stupid sometimes) about it. = ) I'm lucky, I guess.
Sorry your SIL is a pain. = (
Is it really necessary to post comments like that on FB? its FB not really the place to write your annoyed with your husband or any other personal matter. I think its a little immature and if it upsets her just dont do it. Its that simple.
What also really drives me nuts...I freakin defended her to hubs when he refused to call her on her birthday. She gets under my skin. Thank goodness for the 1600 miles between her and I. :)
Honestly, before calling the kettle black, I would reread your posts. No one on here, and I bet your FSIL too, thinks that men are perfect and that relationships are always perfect. What people think is odd is airing out any issue you may be having with your 300 closest FB friends.
A lot of people were raised in a family where we never spoke ill of eachother in public. If there was a problem, we worked it out, we didn't spread it around town. Maybe your FSIl has the same POV. Based on the comments here, she is not alone.
Just change all your settings. I have it so only certain people can read parts, pictures, notices , etc of my profile. Oh I have wrote vents about BF and he just rolls his eyes.
O I have this issue .... my fiancee's mom, his brother and his brother gf are all drama crazy. they love to keep shit started throughout the family. so we have one huge ass fight over myspace. i'm like, come on now...really how old are you? ugh!
exactly the reason i don't associate with them now.
I have to watch what I say on FB, normally I'm just really vague like "Wish today had been better." Or something to that effect. He doesn't want his work friends involved in his personal life and I have an enemy at work that doesn't need more fuel to add to her fire. All my settings are private but if someone that is on that person's friends list posts to your wall and you respond, they can see it :( Vague, vague, vague. I vent too much it has to be in chat.

Anyone else have issues with FB that isn't to do with SO? My SIL is being a complete...I know I should bite my tongue but seriously. I rave about hubs all the time. He is soooo sweet and so good to me...but sometimes he makes me crazy and I might post a status update he's making me crazy or something to that effect. Then she gets all defensive about me "complaining" about him. OMG. If you don't like it don't look at my page. I want to scream. I know I vent a lot on here...but I really am happy...I just have no outlet for the annoyances I deal with (like the SIL thing). Thanks for always being here and for the good advice y'all share! :)
