I don't even use Facebook, let alone my mom. She barely knows how to open a program. Sure I have the profile there, but it's basically blank, and I leave it there so my fiancee can link it so that our profiles say we're engaged.

I have just recently started getting friend requests from aunts and whatnot, and when I see them I just tell them that I really don't use it... at all.

That said, my fiancee's mother uses it, and has tried to friend request me, and I told her I can't let her be exposed to my wild side, so I keep denying her requests. No, seriously, I do. It's funny. :P

Yes.

She is incapable of comprehending the basics of facebook, however, so it's all right.

I don't have Facebook.

My mother doesn't care about shit like that. All that matters to her is her email.

Honestly.. It's reasons like this that I'm glad my parents are computer illiterate. Man if they saw the photos I got up on my myspace, facebook, etc etc.. they would kill me.

Way to give them the short end of the stick =p. Seems the only ones using Myspace nowadays are 12. But I could be wrong as I am not on Myspace and base my opinion solely on unfounded rumors and speculation :D

I don't add my parents more out of principle than actually worrying what they would see. I love both my parents, there's just something very adolescent about facebook. The types of things I put up on facebook are the types of things I probably wouldn't chat to them about, so it just seems out of place. I wouldn't be ashamed or anything if they saw my pictures, they'd probably laugh more than anyone at them anyway. That said, I do have my sister on facebook and that's great fun! Seriously, we yell at each other all the time! Good way to indirectly keep a foot in family affairs while I'm out of the country.

My parents don't use Facebook, nor does most of my family, extended. Cousins I have added as friends there, but mostly because I would rarely talk to them otherwise.

BUT, I've made a few of my photo albums available for everyone browsing, even people not registered, mostly for my parents. I handpick (=censor) the photos slightly, but I'd do that even without knowing my parents are watching. It's common sense. I have far more "delicate" people as friends than my parents so I don't have to worry about them. And I don't really care that much what people think of my actions based solely on such trivial things as Facebook and the photos there.

One irritating incident:
I typed "I'm feeling emo today. /wrist" in "What's on your mind?" on Facebook.
Like all normal young person, that's just something I put there for self-expression, for fun.

This relative of mine got so worried, she mobilized like 5 other people and tried to talk to me. Really retarded.

Oh my, no. My suicidal status updates would not go over well if my parents were able to see them.

my mom is 65. she's old enough to realize that most of the stuff i post on facebook is bs and even if she realizes that it isn't, she doesn't care. She's more worried about my little brother and her hip. Which has just recently been replaced with very few complications, Praise Jebus. That's both hips now. She's bionic!

My parents rarely touch a computer, so a facebook account would be the LAST thing on their mind... THANK GOD... it would be so creepy to have her as a friend on my facebook... its bad enough she has an email account to send messages to me...

That's a bit harsh, don't you think? I mean, can you blame your parents for wanting to keep in touch with the thing they plopped out and spent a ton of money on and probably have some vague attachment to? Plus, if you really don't get along with your parents you can always ignore e-mails.

I was being a bit harsh. ;) I get along with them fine. Emails are ok. When I was in Europe, it was nice to be able to email them. However, Facebook is still a no-no... they wouldn't know how to use it anyway... like most older people living in the middle of nowhere.

Everyone in my family is on my Facebook page. The way I see it, when your mom's your Facebook friend it works even better than electroshock therapy at keeping yourself in check =P

Ummm... no. Not Mom. Not Dad. Not any of my brothers or sisters. No. Don't think so. NEVER!!!!!



Why the fuck would I let any of them in my head anyways?

If you blurb the innermost of your head out on facebook, you've got some delusions.

PROTIP: No one cares.

To answer the OP, yes.

I don't post anything online which I wouldn't dare shout out loud, or stick to a bulletin board anyhoo :p

If my mom ever figured out how to use the internet for Facebook purposes I would be shocked to say the least.

If my mom was my friend and said corny things all over the place I wouldn't mind. I'm not trying to impress anyone on Facebook, to be honest I don't even know why I have a Facebook, it's not really useful.

This.

No. Just mainly common knowledge but that's not the point.


By head, I mean my bubble. Doesn't matter what the fuck I say. I'm not for spilling out my private life everywhere or anything like that.



1: I doubt my family cares anyways. They have their own lives and they live them the way they do. I doubt they want me as a facebook friend either.

2: I only have a facebook account to keep track of a few people that I don't want to lose contact with as they were really hard to track down.

Pretty much this, for me. My parents are fairly computer illiterate anyway; my mom does know OF facebook, and i think asked me once if I use it (I said occasionally, which is the truth) but that's about it.

Each and every single person in my family is on facebook.
That is except my one living grandfather and me. We're so awesome.

That doesn't keep my mother from asking me how to do this or that on facebook though (me being the family tech support guy and all).
Answer doesn't change much. I don't know. I don't care.

Yes... I was against it in the beginning because I thought it was weird. When I moved out into my own place though my mom was being a typical mom so i finally caved. I get along fine with her and she knows that I have my own life. It's just a way for her to contact me which i check more regularly than E-mail.

She's the only of my family on Facebook though ... That I know of...

As others said too Facebook isn't much for private thoughts. Just fun things that go on and contact people sometimes.

I voted for yes! My mom and I are facebook friend. My mom and I are super close to the extent that she knows all my secrets and stuff. Although it's kinda embarrassing but she knew everything like all about my boyfriend and crazy stuff that I'm doing. Although she doesn't tolerate me, She says that i need to do crazy stuff and mistakes to learn more about life. And, She's absolutely right. I guess mother really knows best. My mom is the coolest mom in the world.;)

Yes, but all my family is in a limited profile so I can pick and choose what they see.

I don't use face book yet, unfortunately. Although I have pretty good reason that the rest of my family... and my extended family are on it. This might be one of those instance where I am slower to adopt to certain new technology then my parents are. >.>; Although I am just having hard time keeping track of stuff like this.
