How does one deal with a mom commenting on every single post on Facebook?

Many of us have experienced the embarrassment and frustration of having our parents comment on every single thing we post on Facebook.

For some, it can feel like a violation of privacy, while for others it can be a source of constant embarrassment. But how can you deal with a parent who just can’t help but comment on your every post? Here are some tips to help you handle the situation:

1. Have a conversation with your parent: One of the best ways to deal with this issue is to have a direct conversation with your parent about it. Explain to them how you feel about their constant commenting and why it makes you uncomfortable. Let them know that you value and appreciate their interest in your life, but that you would prefer a little more privacy on social media.
2. Set boundaries: After you’ve had the conversation with your parent, it’s important to set some clear boundaries around their commenting habits. For example, you can ask them not to comment on certain types of posts, or to limit the number of comments they make per day.
3. Use Facebook’s privacy settings: Facebook has a variety of privacy settings that you can use to control who can see your posts and interact with them. For example, you can make your posts visible only to friends, or you can approve comments before they are visible to others.
4. Use the “Snooze” feature: If you prefer not unfriending or blocking your mom, Facebook also has a feature called “Snooze” which allows you to temporarily unfollow a person for 30 days. This means that you won’t see their posts or comments, and they won’t be notified of your activity. It’s a good way to have some space from your mom’s comments without cutting ties completely.
5. Block specific words or phrases: Another way to deal with unwanted comments is to use Facebook’s comment moderation feature. This allows you to block specific words or phrases, so that any comment containing those words will automatically be hidden. This can be a useful tool if your parent has a tendency to make embarrassing or inappropriate comments.
6. Remind yourself that it comes from a place of love: Remember that your parent’s constant commenting likely comes from a place of love and concern for you. They want to stay connected to your life, and social media is one way for them to do that. Try to keep this in mind when you’re feeling frustrated, and remind yourself that your parent’s comments are not a reflection of who you are as a person.

It’s important to keep in mind that your parent’s constant commenting on your Facebook posts may come from a place of love and concern for you. However, it can be frustrating and embarrassing to have your parent’s comments on every single thing you post. By having a conversation with your parent, setting boundaries, using privacy settings, the snooze feature, blocking specific words or phrases or even just reminding yourself that it comes from a place of love, can help you to handle this difficult situation with grace and patience.

In conclusion, it’s important to remember that social media is a tool to connect with others but also a tool to take control of your online presence, and who interacts with it. Communicate clearly with your mom, establish boundaries and use the tools Facebook has to customize your experience and protect your privacy. It might not be easy but it will help you navigate these kind of situations in the future.
