~It Shouldn't Be Rocket Science To Join A FB Group!~

So I was trying to join a Christian Home Schooling group this morning on FB. The lady messages everyone before you can join these codes from common core that you have to find on certain pages-some of them are not even there. I was doing this for half and hour when finally I messaged her back and said never mind I don't want to be in the group that bad! I don't have all day just to get into a group on FB-it was insane! Most groups all you have to do is prove you read the rules and done. Easy peasy. This person wanted to go all rocket science on everyone. Some groups are just not meant for me and that was one apparently... Anyway aside from that mess I got some chores done. Vacuuming the house is done, scrubbing the kitchen floor is done, dishes are done, and kids are working on their school work. Productive morning for me!!

Good to know your day is progressing well. I agree with you,those groups that make it so difficult to join are not even always worth it, why when there are so many groups.Glad you let it go. wish you a productive day.

Very productive. I agree. It shouldn't be rocket science to join an FB group.

I hate to say it, but some people are overcome by their sense of self importance when they create and/or run a group, on Facebook, Yahoo, or anywhere. I have had similar experiences. It's not worth the trouble.

@LovingMyBabies I have run groups on FB, too. All you have to do is be sensible! Most people don't want to cause problems, anyway.

@peavey Yeah, it was insane. I run 2 groups on FB and I don't act that way at all! The only thing I ask is for everyone to be nice and post things that the group is about.

@kevin1877uk Not as many as there could be because she wants to act that way.

I have joined facebook groups and have never had that problem. If I did I would most likely say forget it and not bother to join just like you did. I have never run a group but I if I did I would prefer to keep things simple so that it's easy for everyone. Life is stressful enough without adding to the stress. It is nice that you had a productive day. I went food shopping, put away laundry, did some work from home, and helped take care of kids. I have 1 son. God bless you with 4 kids!

@melindataylor22 Yeah exactly no one meeds more stress or confusion in this world. It was insanely stupid! This is the first time I saw any group that strict. Yeah I run 2 groups on there and I'm laid back about it. Just be nice and post things that the group is about. I'm glad you were productive too! It's not as hard as it sounds. Lol. We are pretty strict though so maybe thats why its not hard.

I am about like that if it is too tricky well, skip it then. I do homeschool and your time is precious.

I have never encountered a group on Facebook that had these strict rules to join.

More productive than me, but of course, you are a lot younger and have a lot more energy.

i think its better than you join that group, you completed some important thing and they lost a member of doing this high security check ups. come on buddy its just a social group.
