ettm: sharing a fb page with your so

[Deleted]

Its not often that I see this, but its coming up more recently. Has anyone else seen people sharing fb pages with their spouse? The name usually shows up something like jackandjill smith.

Fb pages are free. I don't get this.

Anyone?

I know a couple of people who do this. I do kind of side-eye these people.

I have a couple friends that do this. Most of the ones I'm friends with are military families. I find it extremely odd and wouldn't consider doing it.

pet.peeve.

Which one of them commented on my status? Whose birthday is it? Whoever's birthday it's not, how am I supposed to remember their birthday?

Not a fan.

Totally weird.

There is one person I know from high school that has this. I too assume it is trust issues. Or they are WAY to codependent.

I know someone from growing up and apparently he doesn't really do FB so just "shares" a page with his wife. I totally side-eyed when I found that out.

I don't get it. At all.

I think that's weird.

I don't have facebook anymore though.

i think the reason people do this is either because they don't trust the other or they are too lazy to get their own so their spouse does it for them.

it's stupid.

i have a friend who does it and i think it's fine in certain situations. he doesn't use it, she does...he doesn't really want to/lazy..but we all know that fb is a pretty primary form of communication, and if people want to talk to him quickly, do an invite, etc..it's available...their "name" isn't something cheesey like the "jackandjill lastname" example...it's "lastname fam", and i think it works. they also have a baby, so all the baby's pics get tagged with "lastname fam"...

I'm on Team WTF with dual/family FB pages, and I also don't understand why parents let their elementary/middle school kids create FB pages w/fake b-days since you are supposed to be 13+.

I have a friend who does this - and I'm actually considering it. It's because my DH refuses to get a FB of this own (he likes his "anonymity"). But then again, I've already threatened to make him a FB page of his own. LOL

thissss!!!! i have a friend who has a fb page for her newborn. your newborn does not need a fb page.

I don't get it. If the spouse doesn't want a FB page...so be it. My H has a page that he rarely updates on. Every now and then I'll tag him in something. For the most part we have the same friends so they can "keep up" with us via my page.
