for not wanting my Mother to be on FB?

[Imstyledilemma]

She's trying to 'friend' me!

It's just me being funny, right?
Or is it?

It depends what she's like

[StillDrivingMeBonkers]

I don't have any of my family on FB - not DH or the adult children - its my space - actually none of us are on each others.

[acapellagirl]

Haha on one level it could be said YABU on another level I can see the potential for awkwardness!!

[Imstyledilemma]

Really?
She's only joined to stalk people

[Wolfiefan]

Mothers aren't allowed on FB? Shit. You should've told me.

[NotSuchASmugMarriedNow1]

I'm on facebook so that I can tell my kids off when they swear. They've blocked me now though

[Imstyledilemma]

I know what you're saying.
She's entitled to join.

but, I feel like she's encroaching on my personal space.
I think I will accept her friend request, but put restrictions on it.

[sonjadog]

I have this too. My mother is not on fb. She says that if she was, she would not stalk me but when I say that she can join but not be my friend, then she says there is no point...

I´m not changing my position on this. She would be all over every single thing I wrote, commenting on it and demanding I edit/post stuff.

[sonjadog]

I have plenty of other family on fb she could be friends with. Just not me.

[Imstyledilemma]

Mothers aren't allowed on FB?
Exactly.
They don't get it.

[MaidOfStars]

My Mum is the queen of random 'likes' and 'shares'. It's brilliant when she advertises the PhD positions my work colleagues are trying to fill.

[Imstyledilemma]

I´m not changing my position on this. She would be all over every single thing I wrote, commenting on it and demanding I edit/post stuff.

This is what I think.
They take things too seriously.
God forbid you should 'like' something.
They then take it as gospel that you're really into that thing that you 'liked'.
FFs. Can't be doing with it.

[Wolfiefan]

Um. I'm a mum. I think maybe you didn't get it. I was being sarcastic!

[BackforGood]

IME, it is all us 'mothers' who now use FB - the "youth" have moved on. Most of their sharing is done elsewhere, not on FB - it's you who should move off OP (if you are young ?)

[Imstyledilemma]

My mum's a nosey cow.

[Imstyledilemma]

To make it clear,
I'm a mum too, (with teenagers)
But I don't befriend them on FB.

[Wolfiefan]

Wow. Your mum is a nosey cow? How rude. Be her friend on FB. She'll soon unfriend and block you with an attitude like that!

[WatchingFromTheWings]

The kids all use snapchat these days! If my 'D'M joined FB I'd block the bitch NC for VERY good reasons!.

[TwitterQueen1]

Darling! I'm so upset! Why won't you be my friend? Mama luffs you so much hun I just wanna hug you to bits.

[Imstyledilemma]

Ha ha Not rude.
If you knew her, you would agree.
She is in her element since joining FB.
I've gone right off it.

[Imstyledilemma]

I would absolutely love it if she blocked and unfriended me.

[Sushi123]

Oh no no no...it does depend on the type of relationship you have with your mum...personally, there is no way my mum would be on mine..
