I cannot abide by people who

bikerbabe — Mon, 04 Aug 2014 01:23:57 GMT

decide to air their version of their family's dirty laundry on social media. Ridiculous. Juvenile. A great way to totally divide the family.

Dirty laundry is what divides families.

Posting on FB is not the way to handle it

There's more than FB. Twitter and YouTube is great for a personal video.

Oh I totally agree!!! I stay away from face book with a ten foot pole. I have since the very beginning when it first became popular years ago.

I saw things that weren't 'dirty laundry', but just peoples every day 'activities'. It was appalling. Kids hinting what they did the night before or what they wanted to do and with whom.

Same thing with Twitter. You know what they're up to, it only takes a few words to give you the whole picture.

I can imagine now with all the pics being posted and texted what it's like now.

And then there's the bullying.......

In the case of some posters here lately, it is never their own dirty laundry but the laundry of other family members causing their own lives to be imperfect and stressful.

Of course they are perfect in their own life, never erring once. So they tell us often.

I guess the thought of hanging up a phone, letting a call go to vm, not answering an email or staying of FB has never occurred to them.

I have never seen any bullying on FB.

On the other front I agree, I have seen people share every little detail of their life. I've seen posts from the time they get up, go the gym, how great their life is, how messed up their life is. the kids, the pets, the husband the BFF's, boyfriend-girlfriend problems it's is never ending.

I think that is so wrong. Do they not realize that they are the ones that look foolish and not the family members, no matter what the family members did. I can't stand when people just in general share to much on social media. I have a girl I used to work with years ago that I am friends with on FB and she is constantly updating her health on FB and how many times she is in the hospital and all the tests she has had done. Ugh... I don't understand the mindset of people who do this. It is beyond bizarre.

Yes it is but here we are anonymous so there isn't any hurt feelings if we were to vent about our family problems. With FB that isn't the case.

ITA. And yes, it is juvenile.

I've seen too many back-and-forth fights play out over Facebook for all friends and family to read. Why do people lose all common sense when it comes to social media and the Internet?

While dirty laundry may be what divides family, posting about it on any social media outlet is really going too far.

Thank goodness none of my Facebook friends air any dirty laundry there. I've found it's a great way to keep in touch with those you don't see very often. Many of my former band members are my friends on FB. And I keep a very tight rein on who I have as friends.

I didn't know you were in a band Sushismom. What kind of music?

I've never joined facebook. I can only imagine the things that might be posted there about me.

Oh, it was a long time ago. Mostly R&B, Latin, funk, some blues. Unfortunately, life got in the way for me but quite a few of my friends are still playing. And local musicians are usually a tight-knit group so many I knew but never played with are on my FB friends list.

ETA: One of the great things about FB is I can keep up with where my friends are playing and support live bands.

not true in all cases.

a tell all poster had her son and dil ask her to quit posting about them on here. they were very upset that she was posting about them. she even posted about her dil's private area one night and told the whole story. dil was upset after she read it. being anonymous might be great but not when your family members know who you are and see your posts.

Oh, that is so great. I am so jealous of people who are musically inclined whether it be singing or playing instruments. I love music and about any genre but it doesn't love me.

Sushismom — Mon, 04 Aug 2014 03:02:39 GMT

For some reason music comes easy to me. I play keys, tenor and alto sax, and flute. But I do wish I could sing well. I'm passable when in harmony with others but that's about it.
