FiveOaksAcademy Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) Maybe this is a wwyd also. I've said I'm not a huge fan of fb. I am starting to regret ever getting it, for various reasons, not just this one. If you had a family member who was a friend on fb but just makes it clear by slights, attitude towards you, etc., that they really don't like you or your immediate family, but there are many other people surrounding that person who DO love you and yours and who would be offended if you "unfriended" this person, is there a way to just hide that person where you can't even see what they write anymore? I'm just to a point that even seeing this person's status updates can sour my mood. They seem to just love every other family member EXCEPT for us, and even though I've made very many attempts at kindness and turning the other cheek, I just don't see it ever ending. This is a "child" who is an an adult now (so passing it off as childish behavior is over and done), and the history of dislike goes back from toddlerhood, if you can believe it!! This person has had some issues and hurts and I've tried to be as kind and supportive as I can be, praying, encouraging, but I'm just weary of the whole mess.

arghmatey Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Yes, hover your cursor to the top right side of your friend's post. Click the "X". You will have the option of hiding just that one post or all posts by that poster. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Sure. :) If you mouse over the top right portion of one of their stays updates, an X should appear. Click it, and there should be an option of hiding posts by that user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 No problem! I don't think it will block their responses to other statuses though. If you don't want to see anything from them, I think you would have to block them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oak Knoll Mom Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I have a cousin that I finally unfriended. I tried to hide her posts, but I would find myself going to her profile every so often and getting upset all over again. I hope you have more will-power than me!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilight Woods Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I have unfriended family members before. They do not get a notice that you did that. So if it would be easier just unfriend! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, you could be talking about my aunt (and anyone else she comes in contact with that she can try to influence.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
