I’m pregnant with twins and I’m so angry, constantly. My husband says to get off Facebook but I’ve already seen the train headed for the broken bridge so it doesn’t help to look away at this point. The other issue is my extended family is ignorant. My husband’s grandma is racist and anti-Semitic. My grandparents are Jewish and his grandma posts things that are downright wrong and my grandmother is friends with her on Facebook. I teach workshops on Information Literacy so it kills me to pass by fake posts, especially when the comments are so hateful and it’s not even accurate information. I know older people struggle with understanding how to spot fake news. If I let her know something is fake, she plays into the conspiracy theory victimhood that those fact checking sites aren’t really accurate and they were just created by liberals to further their agenda. It’s so stupid. And I’m honestly worried for my children to be a part of a family that already says racist things around other children in the family. I already talked to my husband about it and he says I go to far when I let them know they have false information. I don’t do it in an abrasive way. I’ve quickly posted something and someone corrected me and I just acknowledge it’s wrong and take it down. It happens to almost everyone but not on a scale like it happens with his grandma. My husband and I are on the same page for dealing with family when the babies come. He feels strongly about it too but he thinks it’s something to get angry about later while I’m angry about it now. I don’t want to cut them out from my life or the lives of my children but I wish I could start drawing lines in the sand now, with my husband publicly on the same page. He doesn’t want to upset family by correcting them. Even if it’s really just historical fact. His grandmother reposted an opinion piece about how Christopher Columbus had nothing to do with the slave trade...so I shared letters written by Columbus, himself, saying he had able-bodied slaves that the king and queen could use. Then she said “we weren’t there so we don’t know that”. Well...he was there! WTH! My aunt then said to stop fighting about politics. Since when is historical fact politics?? Ugh 😩 Half of me thinks I should just delete them all but I feel like that’s more dramatic than just letting them know when they post something false. God forbid they learn something! How is everyone else dealing with the world going to shit right now?? How do you cope with being pregnant when this is all going down?
