My mom is pissed at me because I didn't dedicate a Facebook post to my dad asking for "prayers" over my father's heart stents. "Your aunt made a post. I don't see why you can't just make one little post yourself!"

Like fuck. I've been keeping up with his progress today and asking you to keep me updated while you're at the hospital. Didn't even tell me I could come with, but she told my brother.

Now I'm a negative person because I said he needs to stop gorging himself every meal. My family is constantly complaining about how bad they feel and they just don't put two and two together that a proper diet and exercise would help. They all eat like shit. But let's pray the artery clots away.

Simple solution:
Don't use facebook.

I can't imagine all the hassle I'd have to go through because of all those annoying people on facebook.

Not trying to be rude but you honestly sound like a dick. Just do what your mom says and help your family feel better. You don't have to believe it. When someone is going through health problems it's not the time to be a contraion.

Your mom is being silly. You don't need to make a Facebook post begging people pray in order for your dad to recover. Just sacrifice a goat or two to Cthulhu and I'm sure everything will be just fine.

I'm from a pretty religious family myself and I have yet to tell my parents that I'm an agnostic atheist, only because I know they would get a heart attack if they really knew. I would agree with another user here and just make some generic prayer post to make your family happy.

I wouldn't say that not making a Facebook post about your personal life is being a contrarian.


It literally takes 2 secs.

"Praying/hoping you get better dad"

Done. What's so hard about that? Why be a jerk to your mom about it?

Because sharing personal business like that on a social media platform is not generally a good idea. His mother can be wrong even if she is going through a tough emotional time. That isn't being a jerk, it's being smart.

The person who uses personal tragedy to try to enforce their religious beliefs on others is the jerk

Well, the person who decides that personal tragedy is the time to mock the person suffering it for "gorging themselves" is also the jerk, but you know, there can be more than one

She's literally the only one working herself into a hysteria. My dad and I are tight and he knows I'm concerned. I don't need her projections. She's just about to go on a cruise and she thinks the worst will happen while she's away. Keep your judgment to yourself.

You sound quick to assume, but I don't have to validate what I know to you. My father has had open heart surgery already, as well as a number of weight and blood pressure issues, but he continues to eat in an extremely unhealthy manner. Excuse me if my annoyance and concern for his health comes across as being a dick, but he shouldn't eat the way that he does in his condition and at his age. He's complained multiple times since I've been home about his stomach and just can't put it together that he needs to slow down before he eats his fool self into an early grave.

I'm disenherited and had to pay for my own college because I'm an atheist and my mom freaked out when I told her (she explicitly asked). I still have a good relationship with my dad but I only talk to my mom 3-4 times a year. I don't think my dad loves or even likes my mom anymore but she would be completely alone without him. I hope she dies first so he can enjoy his final years.

First of all, facebook is dumb. Don't let facebook decide your future, or how to live your life. Secondly, there's nothing wrong with being religious. I am non-denomination, christian. However, it's not okay to shove your beliefs down other peoples' throats.

Grow older, build your own life, and then decide for yourself.

Religion is a deeply personal thing that people express in myriad ways. Your mom really shouldn't try to guilt you into expressing it in just the way she wants it to be expressed. Especially if it's something as meaningless as a social media post.

Why do you morons think this guy is obligated to make a meaningless post to appease his objectively irrational mother

Maybe because it costs him nothing to make a Facebook post, but could at least somewhat contribute to his mother's happiness, given her husband just suffered a serious medical scare?

Wow! How dare she not be perfectly rational at such a time!?

You aren't even giving an answer. Just "hurrr durr he's spoiled because he's not doing what his mom wants". TC already stated that he's been keeping up with his dad's progress and asking his mom to keep him updated too. You're just like every other numbskull on this board who just mindlessly makes contrarian posts to the TC in an attempt to look cool.

I gave an answer. You're reading comprehension skills just aren't up to par; because you're probably an edgy 17 year old who would prioritize his angst over providing a small comfort to his mother.

You and TC would make great friends.

You're being obtuse and more immature than anyone else in the topic. Not wanting to compromise his values doesn't make TC spoiled. Would you get mad at his mom for going against her beliefs when someone pressured her to do it? Well there you go. It's not right to ask anyone to do it, and guilt tripping others is always scummy. Angst does not factor into this at all. TC is in the right.

"Prayers" aren't even tied to a specific set of beliefs or anything concrete at all. It can mean as little as well-wishing, and costs TC nothing to post, but causes his mother some pain in his inaction.

I would disown all of you if you were my children.

It does cost something. It's really uncomfortable to have to play along to a religion you don't even believe in at a time when you yourself are hurting. The feeling that you're suborning your actual feelings to make other people happy instead of the other people being willing to accept that you're dealing with it your way is not a pleasant one.

Are you new to facebook? You have to be selective with what you put out there, who would want to be known as religious to all their friends through a prayer post if they weren't religious? That's a big sacrifice of your desired identity(which is linked to your online activity)

Sorry to say but if you're someone who makes fb posts frequently and on a whim none of your smart friends respect you
