I feel your pain! My sister posted a photo of my daughter while I was still in the ICU and I hahadn't even had time to call my grandparents yet! I know she was just super excited but it was very upsetting that she took the introduction of my daughter away from me! In future I will be deactivating my accounts before I give birth again.
I feel your pain, we told anyone who came up to the hospital not to post anything on Facebook til we had or they will be deleted from our Facebook accounts we even did this with our wedding and our niece actually posted pics that night when she was asked to take them down all hell broke loose but she finally understood, down side is there are members from my husbands side that we are only now talking to 3yrs later
Hahaha your fury is funny and intimidating, lucky there's a screen of cyberspace between us or I'd feel the spray of venom spitting off that message - no social etiquette these days by some people, I completely agree.
I completely agree!
I had my son at 1am and hadn't even told anyone I was in labour. I rang my mum at 8am (after I'd had a bit of a sleep) and told her the news. I tried calling my dad, but he didn't answer. I then logged into Facebook and saw that my sister had posted something. I hadn't even spoken to her!! Mum had rang and told her MY news. I rang my sister and lost my shit. She deleted it, but I was still pretty hurt. I then look at Facebook again in 10 mins and my mum had posted it! I rang and told her to take it down and she tried to refuse!
My son is now 12 weeks old and it still upsets me when I think about it. Especially as we didn't find out boy or girl and feel I was robbed of the chance to announce it.
Easy solved, post on social media straight away. That's what I did with number 3. Everyone is just as excited that's why they post, its not because they want to steal the thunder, they are excited for the arrival grandson/granddaughter/neice/nephew. Also sometimes the parents don't really care how the news is shared. I know one of my sisters didn't give a hoot if someone else posted on facebook before she got a chance, actually she said 'yeah put it on facebook'. But I do agree it is poor taste to share before at least speaking to the new parents first and respecting their wishes.
Yep happened to us. We weren't going to do a social media announcement but while i was still in c section recovery less then an hour after the birth my sister in law posted from overseas... kind of had to then... very annoying especially since i had barely seen my own daughter yet and hadn't held her but already people were commenting on it all... rude
Yes!!! My partners family friends daughter (I've met her once or twice) decided to post on my fb wall congratulating me just hours after my daughter was born. I didn't get to it in time to delete and everyone saw. I was so furious as I had told family members to keep it off fb, and i didn't think she even knew. I Blew up at my partner. I just ignored it, and everything else she has said to me since lol.
