Just to rant .. Sometimes I feel that maybe I shouldn't browse through Facebook Too much. I often think that other people's lives are so much better than mine ; I know I shouldn't feel this way but i should be grateful for all that I have but I jus can't help but feel that Way:( For example , I saw on Facebook that my fren's hubby bought her flowers on Mother's Day to thank her for taking care of the children. My heart was discouraged when I didn't receive such appreciation from my hubby . Or their kids surprised their Mom with some Mother's Day gift .. sigh .. I know it is not healthy to compare but I jus can't help feeling this way whenever I browse through Facebook. Anybody feel the same way as I do ? Or am I the odd one out?

Your Friend probably wouldn’t post videos of her quarrels with her Husband or the less glamorous stuffs in her life. You’ve got happy things in life to be grateful for too :) If it really bothers you I’d remove the account. No point getting yourself unhappy over social media.

Lol last year was my first Mother's Day. And when I complained to my hubby that he didn't do anything or even wish me, he said that I'm not his Mother, why should he wish me. To him is weird.. from then onwards, I don't expect anything from him. This yr he also didn't do anything..

Haha. My husband say the same thing. It's a husband thing

hey, my hubby doesnt remember my birthday or contact, he doesn't buy me anything . its not the end of the world. the chinese saying "人比人, 气死人' most people will just show what they want others to see . what you see may not be the what it seems .

My Husband don’t like to play FB. He said ppl only post the good things. All are just surface only. Maybe in real life is not sweet like what you see. So just ignore please. I believe your husband got his own way to show he care or love you

For 2 yrs my hb didn't celebrate Mother's Day for me because it wasn't his family culture to celebrate Mother's Day. I'm actually fine with it as I feel it should be the children celebrate for us not the hb. So I'm waiting for my kids to grow up:)

Last night, i silently cried. Was browsing facebook and all i see was mothers day celeb. This is my first mothers day and i feel so sad. I love my child dearly, but i also want to be validated that i am doing a good job. 😟 i feel you.

No matter how you compare you will never know the another side of the stories. People just wants to show the happier side on social media. Who would ever know whats goes on the other side?

I was like you few years back. After awhile, i actually can't be bothered already. the more i dwell on these issues, the more upset i get. So why make myself unhappy?

TBH, sometime I feel this way too. But I'll cheer myself up by thinking of how fortunate I'm than others - Whichever way or what you're having now. ;D
