When I had my son 2 years ago, several members of my DH's family took it upon themselves to announce on MY Facebook that I had delivered him, complete with name and all the details. I didn't even have a chance to tell my own family. Don't get me wrong, it's great to be excited, but DH and I were NOT happy. It's a personal thing that I feel the parents should be able to announce to the world in their own way. So to avoid it this time, I deactivated my account until post baby and created another one only for friends who would not find out the info-I live far from them.
My MIL is sure to be the first to notice as she stalks my page (she actually asked my husband why I didn't have more photos of her and DS on it...) And I'm sure feelings will be hurt. It's absolutely ridiculous that this is even an issue, I mean, seriosuly, it's FACEBOOK! But I would like to be the one to announce my own child's birth, name, wieght, etc. Am I over-reacting? How would you handle this?
