Worst Thing You Found Out about on Facebook

I found out my eldest son impregnated that woman he married and that she lost the baby. Several months later, I found out he (we're going on the assumption it was him, at this point) did it again. She is due in July sometime. He still hasn't told me. *shrug*

Best part? This is the FIRST grandchild out of three sons. Not sure this was how I envisioned it...but then I also envisioned him marrying an actual HUMAN BEING. :huh:

Maybe ^ this is why you found out through FB rather than him calling you or coming over to tell you in person. It's clear that you are not in support of the relationship and he probably didn't want to upset you.

Thought the same thing. "That woman he married"... don't you mean "daughter-in-law"? Delightful.

I was thinking the same thing, but then I thought, "We don't know the back story."

She certainly doesn't sound like a pleasant MIL, but then I've seen new wives treat really wonderful in-laws like dirt and not allow their husbands any contact and the husbands go along with it. My fiance's ex-wife is like that. I've been with him nine years, so I know it is not the in-laws who are the problem.

Still waiting for a response on this...

I have lots of cousins that I love dearly who live far away, and some friends on the other side of the planet. Facebook is my way of keeping in touch with them. Piss on the drama. *shrugs*

Facebook is the way I connected with two cousins who I haven't seen since we were small children.

I found out my husband was cheating with ex wife. Facebook sucks.

Yeah!

Without Facebook, you could be blissfully unaware that your husband was cheating.

So I get on Facebook this morning to look something up for a friend. I learned that my mom is having a heart cath done today. I have 2 sisters and one posted it to facebook. Not a single person told me.

A couple years ago, I learned my aunt had a massive stroke via Facebook.

I live an hour from my family and check in with them about every other day. So my question is this. What's the worst thing you found out about on Facebook?

Woooowwww...REALLY? I'm sorry, and I don't mean to offend you, but that's pretty lame of your family to for one, feel it necessary to post personal family business online, and two, leave you out of the loop and NOT CALL you to let you know what's going on with your mom, and three, assume that everyone checks FB regularly so eventually you would find out...which you did, but it's just inappropriate to me.

I hate HATE social media now. It has become the downfall of communication these days. Instead of picking up the phone to converse with friends/family, we post pics and whatnots online for all the see. We think we're building relationships, when really we're killing them. Quality time together or conversing is the only way to truly build a relationship. And the crap we feel is necessary to post..."I'm on the crapper", "Just had sex, WINNING", "Feeling like killing myself today", noooooo, not appropriate. Wish we could go back to the old days when making a phone call wasn't so old fashioned.

The ending of Season 4 of the Walking Dead. I have missed all of the last half of the season due to no cable and have done my best to avoid anyone that might give it away. I guess I missed one...
