I'll start us off since I just read this on Facebook for the millionth time...
I hate when people do long winded Facebook shoutouts to their kids (who don't have Facebook and most of the time are too little to have any idea) for their birthdays. Especially when they end with "we love you to the moon and back". They always end with "to the moon and back".

Ugh yes. Or shoutouts for graduating seniors that include ACT/SAT scores and GPAs and shit. Um no. Your daughter is valedictorian? Awesome. Say that. It's enough. We don't need the details.
Maybe that's my UO. When I was in school it was considered very impolite to talk about your grades or test scores. I'm still uncomfortable about it since I teach AP Calculus, my students sometimes ask me what I got on the AP test 15 years ago as if it matters.
I post a collage but like to think I keep it short. I do it for those out of town, especially family. So they can see her or what we did. I have never used the "to the moon and back", mainly because it's so over used. I want to have our own unique thing and if we do I don't share on FB.
I'm not opposed to posting a birthday picture/collage. It's more the long winded message that gets me. "___ years ago you came into our lives....your beautiful spirit and kind heart....we love you to the moon and back."
I didn't post a birthday post for DD1. I also haven't shared pics from her bday yet. I'm being petty, but I don't want MIL to see and comment on them when she didn't even bother to text DD1.

I have a FB friend who does this for birthdays, anniversaries, because it's Wednesday and we all need to know how wonderful her husband is. Her best friend's husband put a picture up for his son's firt birthday and said happy birthday and she made the comment, that's the sweetest thing you can say? Everyone doesn't need a 100 word post to make their point.

I don't know if this is unpopular as it is annoying.
Today is the last day of school. C gets out at 11:45. In our state it doesn't count as a school day because no lunch will be served.
Why not just make it a whole day? Or make yesterday the last day?
And this isn't the only day this year they've been released at 11:45.
And FTR our state has the least amount of school days per year than any other state.

That's bizarre. Our half days get out at 12:35 but count as a school day even though lunch isn't served. Why don't they just extend it and throw in a snack time?

You can post a status and exclude certain people. I do it sometimes and exclude SD's Mom and Step dad.

Block her?
I can't it'd cause a ton of drama and DH would be pissed

From just that post? I'm sorry.
He thinks I don't give his family the time he gives mine. Of course, his family doesn't give us their time so it's kind of hard. Idk. I have a feeling she'd use it as a reason to complain. H is definitely on my side for most things but he wants his parents to be involved with the girls.
I didn't know "to the moon and back" was from a book. I guess I'm guilty of being that annoying poster.
FTR, I do not post anything about how wonderful my DH is on FB. I feel like people who do that are trying to overcompensate. It's one thing to say happy anniversary but it's different to say my husband is so wonderful because he brought me tea when I was sick.

athn64, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't know if you just excluded it from them like I mentioned. It doesn't show up to friends that you did that.
Yes, but, then others look and see and then talk. My mom does this (blocks things) and then her friends/sisters notice and talk. It's so stupid. I told my mom to quit doing a million posts.
