Social Media

Communication

Are you friends/ follower mutually with your coparent on social media; yes / no? Why?

I’m a SM and my husband and I are both friends/mutual followers with his ex wife and her new partner. (For context; wife chose affair & divorce— my husband and I met a couple years later).

Both ex wife and her new partner requested me online soon after my husband and I started dating years ago.

It’s nice to see the other 50% of the kiddos life we miss out on. But it’s getting harder and harder seeing her overshare details/ photos of kiddo, getting praise for bare minimum parenting, sharing photos with locations/ safety info about kiddo, and posting about events for the child that dad did all the work for.

I know I’m “just” SM but—- dad has specifically asked her to cool it with the exploiting of kiddo to and it never seems to last. Dad and I keep a lot private and rarely post.

We very rarely interact with each others post so I think it’s just a known informative situation. So I don’t want to miss kiddos life, but it’s starting to wear on me.
