If you don’t want your mom to see your facebook page don’t ‘friend’ her!
I love seeing my Navy son’s pix and comments on facebook-it helps me keep in touch with him. I don’t stalk him, just occasionally ‘poke’ him–he knows I’m thinking about him. If I want actually to communicate with him I call, email or text him.
I have also reconnected with old friends (my age) on facebook.

I do have a daughter now (too young for facebook), which may explain why i friend all of my family. I even set up my mom’s facebook for her. which my other syblings, who are little more rowdy than i am, were not too happy about. but now my aunts and uncles have them, my gramma, and a few of my great aunts… they actually set up a group for our family to post pictures and events on. I had to check my facebook to make sure there wasnt anything bad on it, and besides a few pictures of me drinking beer, i was pretty safe.
which is the main reason kids dont want their parents friending them. if you go to a party, and bring your camera (and everyone does) and then post the pictures of you and all you underage friends, drinking, or drunk, or high… do you want your parents to see those? A friend of mine is indian, so her parents are very strict. she has pictures of her and her friends at parties, pictures of her hanging on guys. of her drinking, or blatantly drunk. and her dad keeps trying to friend her, obviously she isnt going to accept. its like letting your parents read your diary. (or some analogy like that)
i personally dont mind, but then i dont have anything to hide either, and it is a good way for the family i dont see often to get up to date pictures of my daughter.
Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amI’m on Facebook, and so is my son. We’re friends, but truthfully, I don’t go on his space much. I might make a comment on one of his pictures or something, but I’m not stalking him. He’s even friends with some of my friends.
I enjoy Facebook. As a SAHM, with one car (which is at work with hubby), I don’t get a lot of “adult time” so Facebook can be my salvation at times. And I’ve reconnected with a lot of people I haven’t talked to in years.
And no, I’m not friending my son’s friends. That’s just creepy.
