Social Media Posts on Acceptances

I have always been in somewhat a weird position when it comes to FB. My wife is not on FB. I have been since like '09 or '08. I also have family I rarely see all over the country. My parents were/are 3 states away. My wife’s friends eventually found me and befriended me as well as some of her family.

In the beginning I didn’t have much to say or post. I used to read blogs a lot and this one blogger would post a pic of her son every day. My D23 was like 4 and I started posting a pic of her every day. It was the Daily XXXX. They were mostly random pics and she didn’t know I was even taking a pic. Some were interesting some not so much. I of course got big moments like Kindergarten Grad etc. My streak lasted for a little over 4.5 years. My family and friends got used to seeing what she was up to each day. D23 knew about the pics eventually. We discussed continuing on at different times. We made a decision to stop. A lot people were sad when we stopped. I will say one of the best parts of my days are looking at my FB memories and seeing what she was doing and seeing the old pics when she was little.

I had some friends asked my about my other daughter, D19. I would post stuff about her when she played her sports and other major things. I was the sport parent so D19 got a lot of my time and was older so I didn’t post about her as much.

In HS and College I really only post about major accomplishments for both. For example, D19 was recently published on a research article. I posted about that. I didn’t post every acceptance for D19 or all the merit$$ she got. Mainly I waited until the Spring and posted when she made her decision. I will do the same for D23.
