Wow that’s crazy! What do you do with them if you don’t mind me asking?

It’s whittled down to a couple now but we also still get a few newsletters

Bloody hell! From one person or multiple people?

We still get Christmas cards for the person that owned my house before I bought it off my parents , she died 27 years ago

Sadly you are right. It did use to be like that

Facebook isn't built to communicate with friends and family. It's built to sell you shit. That's also not on you.

Simply inform them that you'll spend the night at your bf's. That's part of what it means to be considerate.

Maybe it's unfathomable to you, but in all likelihood they actually care, and were worried about you so they raised hell. Why else would they phone up everybody and their dog. They wouldn't take the effort of raising you and pay for your bloody living costs if they didn't. The same applies to your mother's.

Your mom is a grownup and responsible for her own decisions, including for taking decisions that led to her still needing parental support. It's her choice to never have grown up, to still depend on her parents. The only one to blame for her inaction is her.

The only ones who look good in this story are your grandparents. You're still half a child so you get half of a pass, but your mother does not.

Normally I'd agree with you, but I've seen some dumbasses on these subreddits, admitting to some seriously bad decisions.

Account is one day old. No way can you believe this story.

Yeah I know what you mean, but his profile had loads of posts regarding his passing from friends and family. Somehow they never made my timeline

Funny that, it still works, but stays on 24% battery the whole time. Not sure what it could mean. I’m not a Christian

Not like he could have let you know.

Sorry for your loss though, it's not easy to deal with when a person you knows is just... Gone. Don't beat yourself up about it.

Thank you, it was definitely a reminder

Use this as a reminder to scroll through your contacts from time to time and make sure you keep in contact with those that you care about.

Got it. Your grandparents probably mean well and have good intentions - they don't want you unknowingly going down a similar path as your mom (which would arguably be worse, since they won't be around as long). That's not to say that your grandparents did right here. They still overreacted. Hopefully, you can explicitly show to them that you're going down a good path. That might honestly be things like introducing your boyfriend to your grandparents over a dinner.

Thank you

That's the point

It really wasn't a fuck up. You weren't close so you weren't informed or knew that he passed away.

So don't blame yourself for not knowing.

We weren’t that close, but it still sucks I wasn’t aware for 2 years that he has passed away

Not really

It's a fuck up if you knew he passed away and accidentally messaged him

But all you did was not know he had passed and messaged him

It's normal if you didn't know.

I feel like the fact that I didn’t know is where I’ve fucked up

I mean it's not a fuck up if you didn't know

If anything, the person who sees the message would probably think that you didn't know he passed away.

I thought the story was going to end with "the interview turned out to be an Amway convention"...

Since it did not, you can still consider yourself lucky!

Epic.. worth reading the whole post.. Feel sorry for you had to go through this.

Any major city or suburb. Almost any. It's considered a uncontrolled non livestock animal. I've never lived somewhere that it's legal but ya, I'm sure ...somewhere...it is. It will always be a jerk move though.
