#2- I think you said it PERFECTLY. “If you wouldn’t post it about yourself, don’t post it about your kid.”

#5- I HATE that! Especially when they have so many updates about how awful their life is, etc, etc, and you ask if they’re ok and they’re all like “Yeah I’m fine…” Ok then stop posting that bs.

Here’s another one for ya- Chronic LOLers. I have a friend that comments “LOL” on everything. Even if a laugh is so not the appropriate reaction. Super annoying.

I appreciate that you are a woman of well chosen words and clear intent, but come on you are too nice!

I have to say in regards to #2 —while we love our own kids this does not readily pass on to everyone! Not only do I not care about your childs bowel or bladder incidents; odds are I don’t really like your child. I might proffer a courtsey “isn’t that nice” but thats all. Plus, if you are singing the praises of spending your time grinding organic baby food—perhaps you should consider expanding your horizions. There is nothing worse than trying to have an adult conversation that is dominated by “little Tommy stories”.

As to #4–it boils down to do not be a bitch! (apologies to the inadvertant offenders) If your intent is to hurt others why not just give them a call and say ” I don’t like you, you are not my current flavor, or I find time with you painful” because that is what is really being said. FB just allows people to behave poorly without any real discomfort to themselves; due to the fact that they may be shallow, dense, or possibly just so bland that it is their only excitment—-next to grinding organic baby food.

Also my facebook pet peeve is “chain” statuses, like that one last week about healthcare. “If you believe that no one should be without healthcare, blah blah blah, post this in your status”

I HATE those and wanted to set my status as “chain statuses are dumb” but then I’d have to actually put “Rachel thinks it is dumb to have a status about how chain statuses are dumb.”

But, in defense of the kiddo stuff…I usually only post that stuff because it’s a super easy way for family and friends to keep up with what my kid is doing and stuff. I don’t think everyone is like, totally into it or anything, but I definitely see a place for it on Facebook.

#6 — the thing I’m hating on these days (besides Mafia Wars) is Farmville. Who has time for these things?! I check my Facebook religiously (like 50 times a day), yet have somehow made it without playing all these reindeer games!

#7 — AMEN. It’s also why I leave my profile wide open. Except in my case, it’s to show the exes how cool I’ve become

#7: Duh, we all need a little facestalking in our life. Without facestalking I wouldn’t be married.

I love this post, as a Facebook addict I definitely think there need to be ground rules.
