Some advice please (freinds on facebook)

To blondeshavemorefun

Why would you never ever ever ever ever have your boss on ur fb?

Are u hiding something? Or do u slate them..

Mmmmm

I'm a CM and 4 of my current FB friends are parents, at least 4 past parents are and yes, I have some other childminders as friends on there too. I know some of my newer mindees parents are on FB and I wouldn't send them a request and I may have to think about accepting one if I got them, however, the ones I'm 'friends' with are those whose children I've looked after for years. I socialise with some of the parents (meals out, drinks etc.) on occasions and I feel we are proper friends now so don't see the problem. They know I have a personal life and know that business is also business. All fine by me :)

many of my 'nanny' friends are my rw friends so yes they are on my fb

never ever ever ever ever have boss's on my fb - ex ones yes as good way to keep in contact but not ones at the time

I am 'friends' with my nanny on FB.

If you aren't comfortable with it, just ignore the request (Do not decline) and let it go.

Tho, I would wonder why you aren't that comfortable with it. My nanny looks after my children. I expect her to know about my life and I expect to know about hers. I don't EVER question what she does in her personal life, but I do like the fact that I know about her family, friends, fiance (who has stayed over with my children).

So, I would say: Unless you have a major reason to object, I would accept it.

Facebook friends aren't 'real' friends. It's just social networking.
