The Twitter post about restricting replies so friends can't 'wade in with horror pics' of her teenage clubbing years 🙄 She still has friends from her teen years? I very much doubt it! Even I don't and I'm not a twit! Also think she will reverse that decision because she would revel in the limelight for 5 minutes if an old 'friend' popped up with embarrassing photos - she could consult a lawyer and sue them!

I do, and none of us would ever share teenage pictures on public channels, it would be quite an odd thing for someone to do, especially on a professional page, like a needlessly spiteful humbling of self? Where she’s readily nasty she wouldn’t think twice of doing it, but most people have common decency so just... wouldn’t?

Also love my Southend fraus but I don’t get the vibe there’s an epicentre of counter culture there that would yield any wild pictures? Especially for a girl who’d have been picked up that night by mumsy in a landrover? 😂

By no means illegal, do you mean?! Just before we send any well-meaning fraus into a tizz...

oops sorry YES illegal 😂 Does this mean I’ve summoned the candy man first? 😫
 
Narc alarm bells all over that anecdote.

I too have a narc parent and I tell them as little as humanly possible about my life as, from a lifetime's experience it a) is a jumping off point for their own stories b) is used in the future to humiliate or belittle me or c) is completely ignored if it doesn't fit into either of those categories.

(I have a child around SB's age also and would never write about them on social media in this way because I respect their privacy)

Honestly, I really think that parental oversharing on social media is going to erupt into a massive scandal in a few years.

I agree. A Facebook friend shares the daily minutiae of their two toddlers, including toilet training. Which is TMI.

But of course, they also share photos of the turds... which often are not in the potty, but are accidents on the carpet or on outside toys.

She's also said she's going to dig out photos of her as a teen, when she wore polo shirts with the collar popped and a Yankees cap. Can't.......wait 🥴

(This is merely a badly photoshopped lark, m'lud, and isn't actually a photo of the plaintiff in her teen years)


ETA: on reflection, I wish I had picked a photo with three popped collars rather than five.

I was just thinking - that’s a lot of collars! Jeez, such a maverick mood going on there.
There’s three buttons showing, so I reckon fits good, Marmite.

Well said. The sharing of stories, images, etc. of our children without their informed consent on social media will blow up at some point. I used to share pics of my kids when they were little. Not very many and I only ever had around 40 FB friends (crazy, I know). That was in the early days of FB when I was very naive about it.

I had a moment (not going to bother typing it up, just a personal a-ha moment sans filter) when I realised that it really wasn't cool and I stopped. Most of my friends seem to have gone through a similar process. We were all enthusiastic in the late 2000s/early 2010s and have pretty much all stopped putting personal info out there in the last five years or so.

I'm glad that I won't have to have a conversation with my kids when they are older justifying why I thought it was worth putting personal info about them into the world that could be embarrassing for them.

She said she didn't previously use them, but that she does now overuse them at times.

When I read that filter paragraph on its own, I start to feel bad. And then I read the last line of her post and it makes me laugh all over again.

Marmite, I love how you’re going back to that fateful day. I mean, it’s a good reference point, isn’t it? Straight from the horse’s mouth.

Same! She came here uninvited and then acted like everyone was demanding her time.

"Considering doing an Ask me Anything"

"Nah, you're alright thanks Jack, off you duck."

"Can I go for a piss and a sandwich?"

"bleeping hell, she still hasn't gone? Byeeeeeee."
