To keep Facebook for only my very close friends and family?

[NotWell]

My sister thinks I am weird and antisocial because I don't add people who are aquaintences...she wanted to know why I never add any school mums to my FB.

FWIW we are new to the school and I don't add people willy nilly....I have a few photos on there and I would like them for family and close friends only...also...I comment freely (when I do which is rare) and I just don't want people seeing EVERYTHING I do.

AIBU? Odd?

Use Facebook however you want to use Facebook. It is a personal thing that can do different things for different people. There is no right or wrong.

I thought that was what facebook was for...

I use mine the same as you use yours.

One of my friends has 1500+ friends on theirs, plus it's all open for anyone to look at.

I was amazed last year when she announced on FB she was going away on holiday for a fortnight, then on the same day she posted a link to her estate agents website that had showed her house had gone up for sale that day and included her full address and photos.

I literally have people who are friends...or that I am related to. I use "would I want to go to their funeral" as my benchmark (so cheerful aren't I?)

But its a good indicator...of whether we actually care about someone.

If I want to network for WORK then there are related forums...if I need to know something about school...then I will call school or refer back to the newsletter.

It's all so personal! I have pics on there of me in all kinds of plays from when I was an actor and I simply DON'T want the school run Mums seeing me dressed in all kinds of odd, outrageous and weird costumes.

Not only that but I work in an industry where I would not want to be attached to some of these people. They say things which make me go

things like MoshiMonsters allowing kid of 6 and 7 to basically practice social networking....

Parents ALLOW networking - your kids shouldnt be unsupervised on a PC at that age any way.

It's all so personal! I have pics on there of me in all kinds of plays from when I was an actor and I simply DON'T want the school run Mums seeing me dressed in all kinds of odd, outrageous and weird costumes.

But YOU put the pictures up. YOU take them down again. Or set your controls so you divide between family and acquaintances - then the others can't see.

I dont put any pictures up. At all. I dont talk to any one. I just play their madly addictive games.

Erm it's up to you and a non issue really.

I think some people embrace the digital age and pretty much live on-line, some people shun it altogether and some people do something in the middle.

It really is up to you. It doesn't matter.

I never put the pics up Trois but close friends did...they are on their profiles.

I never let my 7 year old go unsupervised on MoshiMonsters but it's do frigging EXHAUSTING....always saying..who is that? You don't know them in real life so do not reply to the message.

And "Answer messages from people POLITELY DD. Don't be abrupt"

I just think it's too little.

YANBU. Your Facebook page, your choice.
