Tired of older relatives being shady on Facebook - a thread.
Why do so many people over the age of 40 think it's appropriate to comment on pictures of younger relatives with their judgements?
Do they realise how disheartening it is to open a post about your latest hair colour/tattoo/clothing and find out how your relatives don't like it, or prefer how it was before, or think you're ruining your hair/body?
Do they think we asked? Is posting a picture online tacit agreement for a relative to weigh in with their opinion? Who are they serving by trying to make you feel bad about time/money spent on changing something about how you look?
If you are a person who does this - stop it. I guarantee you the relative does not appreciate your input. Nobody cares if you don't like how they look. Your thoughts are neither wanted nor needed. Don't be a dick.
This thread brought to you by no less than three of my relatives deciding I needed to know they didn't like my blonde hair.
