I have never really realized how negative social media is until today. I have a Facebook and a Twitter and of course this blog.I am an avid user of social media, I like to share pictures of the kids, funny stories, update friends and family afar with whats going on in our lives. I try to keep things positive, share the good things, leave out most of the bad. I have a lot of friends with kiddos and I value their opinions about hard to handle situations so I ask for advice sometimes.
I DO NOT air my dirty laundry over social media and I am constantly flabbergasted about the amount of drama and very personal information that I see posted everyday. I feel like I continuously see negative posts from the same people but never them doing anything to change the things that they are unhappy with.
I have many things in my life that aren't perfect, I've gained 18lbs back after working so hard to lose them, none of my clothes fit, Ronnie is very hard to handle most days his SPD is driving us all crazy, most days I'm sure that all of my hair is going to fall out, but I don't ever feel the need to post my problems on social media. The things that happen in our home stay in our home.
I love seeing updates, pictures, anecdotes and even advice seeking posts but I can not stand the drama and negativity. I am going to remove these negative people from my "feed" because I just don't need to see this in my life.
