Wow, mind is blown 7

Quick question for anybody who has a suggestion for this. Sometime overnight, XF posted a picture of her and S4 on social media. It got the likes and "oh so cute" comments, as well as one from a friend of mine. This person said something suggesting it's a good picture but would be better if uphill was in it. That triggered her friend to jump in and say "we all know that ain't gonna happen" followed by XF telling this person off...

My question is, do I address it? Or act as if I never saw it this morning? I'm thinking, not my circus, not my concern? I cannot control what people say or do, let alone when I am sleeping.

What good could you hope to come from talking about it?

[Uphill]

I guess I may have worded that wrong. I am pretty sure XF will bring it up, when she does... Do I act like I didn't see it?

Uphill, you've already answered your own question!

I'm thinking, not my circus, not my concern? I cannot control what people say or do, let alone when I am sleeping.

If she brings it up, go with a kind version of that.

[Uphill]

That is what I did. She stopped at my house for a few of S4's things a few hours ago. It was the first thing out of her mouth. I just said that I had not seen it and I can't control what people think/say/do.

So proud of you! (((Momma hug)))

Successful weekend GALing. Yesterday was super busy! Spent most of today doing housework and holding the couch down... Something I haven't done in a while. (The couch thing). I forgot how relaxing it is to do absolutely nothing for a day! Had the washer and dryer going and would only get up when the buzzer went off to swap it. Had a few naps, they helped with my hangover from last nights festivities. I may have to spend some more time like this, not really thinking or doing anything. I have been keeping so busy the past few months trying to keep my mind occupied that I forgot how to take a day for nothing.

I'd be inclined to like it, but don't go near the comments section. You are showing your support for her in a weird way. I appreciate you sharing pics of S4 no matter what, and I'm not giving a cr*p about the small stuff.

XF can bring it up, and you can validate w/ her & laugh it off together. An opportunity for humor, w/ being on the same side and understanding each other = good.

"Oh, I can be friends w/ this guy after all." See where it takes you.

[Uphill]

Asitis, do you mean that you would like the pic? Or the comment? It has already been discussed a little... Mainly her dissatisfaction with the friend. I simply said I hadn't seen it, but understood why she would be upset. Regardless, I don't think the was going to be any "laughing it off" with her. She was pretty hot about it.

My WW would do the same thing. She would post something on FB, one of my or even our mutual friends would make a comment about it and some how it would be my fault.

It's the WW/WAW system of dealing with things. Even though THEY left, it's your fault for everything wrong in their lives. My WW got fired from her job a few weeks ago, it eventually came around to me through the grape vine that it was my fault. How was it my fault that she wasn't performing as needed? Because on her days with the kids, I should have picked them up and dropped them off to her so she could get to work/leave work at the correct times. Nevermind that we have a daycare that picks the kids up from our houses/drops them off at school. It was a stretch for her to say so, but in the end it's typical.

Stick with the "I know nothing" and go from there.
