Chit Chat

Big Mistake...

So one of my fellow firefighters, who is like a brother to me, recently got engaged. He is also in the marines so he has been gone for a couple months stationed in the southwest. Well, he has decided this morning to announce via Facebook to his parents, friends, and family that he is now engaged. To make it even better, he apparently had not even told his parents he was in a relationship! (The firehouse knew he was dating, but parents were somehow clueless.) So needless to say a huge shitstorm has risen up. And of course the boy is ignoring his frantic mother's calls and infuriated FB comments. I think it is time for wine and chocolate, kicking back, and watching the show... :-)

  • Goodness me...that seems incredibly awful and inconsiderate of him. Yikies! Pass the popcorn!
  • OHHHH jealous you get to see it all unfold!

    Wow! Unless he's estranged from his parents, he should have told them the news before he posted it on facebook. Is he clueless?

    Ditto! Doubly jealous!
  • We waited for a solid month and a half to put it on Facebook so we could tell everyone we cared about. I can't fathom finding that out about your kids.

  • My sister broke the news of our engagement to FB before we had a chance to tell everyone important. It didn't end up being a huge deal in the end, but I was pretty annoyed that I didn't get to put it out for the world to see on my own terms.

  • I think he is just young and dumb... Definitely amusing though. His parents are pissed!
  • My mother is always reminding me "I don't want to learn anything important through Facebook!" So I, of course, called her (Facetime'd even!) prior to posting anything. But other than my parents, I didn't tell anyone in person (even my best friends, but they all knew that we were thinking about it and that it was coming anyway).

    I felt bad because when it happened I was SUPER excited and couldn't wait to tell my MOH.  She didn't pick up the phone so I sent a text.   She got the text and started crying (happy tears) in the middle of Denny's!  Oops!  We both laughed about it later.

  • Oh, gosh how terrible! I can't even look- no I am not going to even look, err, pass the popcorn down this way!
