Is it rude to post stuff about vacations?

It's only rude if you post it in a way were you are saying "look at me. i'm better than you because of....." I never post vacation info because well i never go on vacations or if i do i don't want to deal with some of my family who would make comments because their idea is a lot different than mine and mine is wrong. Way i look at it is this. It's your account to do what you want and if other's don't like it that's their issue not yours.

I ended up posting a small 3 sentence post. I just mentioned having fun and swimming and shopping and how long I was gone. One of my family members posted a picture of us sitting on the lake. So I assumed my friends could see it. I'm not sure what my privacy settings are. They did tag me in it. I did not personally post any pictures or go into great detail.

Today though, one of my Facebook friends was saying how she never went on vacation in her life, and has never been out of the state. She was saying that it upsets her when people post stuff about the things they buy, and that she is unable to work.

I mean, it sounds like it was directed towards me, but I can't be sure. All I know is that I posted about my vacation BEFORE she said anything. So I don't think I did anything wrong.

I guess maybe I should be more considerate in the future.

My mom was saying that she was the one being rude. My mom said
"So you can't post anything about shopping?" Again, I'm not sure the post was directed towards me, it just sounds like it was. I told my mom that I wasn't sure.

My mom tends to think I am better then "those people" because I have my life together. So I don't always agree with her.

Well by this logic I shouldn't wear nice clothes because other people might not be able to afford it. Unless you brag in obnoxious manner or your timing is wrong, then it's ok to do whatever the heck you want! Including posting vacation pictures! Enjoy your trips.

I just can't really tell when it's appropriate or not. I posted something today that I wasn't totally sure, and 10 people including my mom liked it. So I guess it was ok.

Ughh! This question always plagues me as well. "Is this okay to post? Will it hurt anyone's feelings? Will it make anyone feel needlessly jealous or sad?"

Just to put this into perspective-I lost my baby daughter in October to a stillbirth. The majority of my FB friends have kids, and one friend had hers a few months after I lost mine. Yes, sometimes it stings a little, but I would NEVER in a million years ask her not to post pics of her child just because I lost mine. I plan on having another in the near future and you beat believe my kid's gonna be all over my timeline too! That woman sounds extremely selfish and whiney. If she doesn't want to see your posts for whatever reason she can unfollow you or deactivate Facebook (I've had to do the latter for my own sanity several times). So in short, its your FB...post whatever you want.

I agree. Unfriend them. I do it a few times a year. (the vacations and the unfriending.)

Who would like to see pics of my Hawaiian vacation?

To the OP, please post your pictures, enjoy your vacations, share your fun! True friends love to see what their friends are up to.

I LIKE to hear about other people's joy and adventure. I mean..SOMEONE has to go and have fun..LOL!!!
