It sounds like niece is having some regrets over choices she's
made. We probably all do at some point. If she's so bothered
about the path she's chosen that she expects other people to
curb their behavior, she can always deal with it by getting some
kind of counseling. I don't do Facebook, but it would probably
be a good idea for her friends and relatives to ignore her
request and post anything they please. It is not a good idea for
her to think that she should be making requests like this of
other people.

I think this is where the individual needs to make the choice to
step back from social media. You cannot ask your entire
friendslist not to wish their mothers a happy Mother's Day, nor
can you ask those who are mothers not to post anything about it.
They shouldn't tag you, but to expect everyone to refrain from
posting about it is not realistic or reasonable.

Actually, it's probably a good thing that she can't have
children (because of her husband). If her stepdaughter isn't a
'real' child to her now, imagine how pushed-away that poor
daughter would get if another child joined the family.
I've heard stories about that happening to stepchildren, and it
never gets better.

A niece on DH's side put out a request on her facebook page
asking that we carry on this week as if there is no such thing
as Mother's Day since she can't have children. Oh, but she
really loves her step daughter....it's just not the same.
The thing is....she can have children. Her DH can't. He got a
vasectomy years before they met.
I know better than to say anything, but daaaaanggg.
For the record, this is the same niece who invited their
vaccinated friends to a party to celebrate being able to do
that. The outrageous part being that she posted on facebook for
their friends to let them know if they've been vaccinated so
they would know who they could invite.
It may be time to mute her.

Posting your vaccination information on Facebook can be risky.
But, I don't blame her for only wanting to invite people who've
been vaccinated. It's a scary situation out there.
As for this 'Mothers Day' thing. I have a close family member
who thought she and her husband didn't want kids until she
became pregnant. She had two miscarriages and found it was too
late to have kids. She did find it a little hurtful when people
post things on Facebook like "Share and Like if you have a son
who's the light of your life" for some time afterwards, but,
never Mothers' Day greetings. After all, even if we're not
mothers, we all have mothers.
